Trump-requested recount gets Biden more votes | Abroad

That reports the Washington Post. Biden was already named the winner in the northern state. He already had a lead of just over 20,000 votes. After this recount, the 10 electors representing the state will be definitively in the hands of the Democrat.

Team Trump requested a partial recount of the votes on November 18, paying the legally established sum of $ 3 million ($ 2.5 million). The $ 3 million that Trump paid equates to over $ 22,700 per vote won for Biden.

Had the ten electors come into the hands of Trump, that would not have changed the election results. Biden has amassed 306 electors, Trump is no further than 232.

The cost of a recount was to be prepaid by the applicant. If that were to be done statewide, it would be about $ 7.9 million (about $ 6.7 million). Trump chose to re-count votes in only a few districts.

Trump still refuses to acknowledge Biden’s victory, and calls almost daily without providing evidence that the election has been fraudulent. However, the president said for the first time on Friday that he will leave the White House in time if it appears that Biden wins the majority of the electors.

There were also recounts, with or without lawsuits in the states of Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. Those states were all won by Biden and that didn’t change after the vote count again.
