The loser Trump campaign and the bug-eyed Wisconsin Republican Party recently demanded a recount, only of the state's heavily Democratic Milwaukee and Dane counties, in another attempt to disenfranchise Democratic voters. They paid $3 million upfront for the recount, which has to be completed by Tuesday, December 1, in order for the state's vote to be certified.
Well, one of the jurisdictions has completed the recount, and the results?
Milwaukee County concludes its recount of the presidential election -- one of two counties where Trump sought a recount in Wisconsin. The results: Biden's lead, currently at about 20,000 statewide, grew by 132 votes.

In other words,
With the $3 million the Trump campaign spent on recounts split between two counties, this would amount to the Trump campaign spending $11,363 per vote *added* to Biden https://t.co/mLD0GnDws5

Once again, to paraphrase the old saying, fools and their money are soon parted.
We eagerly await Dane County's recount to see how much more the loser Trump campaign paid to add more Biden votes to the total.
