Biden had already been named the winner in the northern state: he had a lead of just over 20,000 votes. After the recount, the 10 electors representing the state will be definitively owned by the Democrat.
Trump’s campaign team requested a partial recount of votes on November 18, paying the legally stipulated sum of $ 3 million ($ 2.5 million). The three million dollars that Trump paid amounts to approximately 9,200 euros 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.
Leave the White House in time
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.
