The election commission said in a statement that the total cost will be $ 7.9 million. It is noted that this amount is much higher than the cost of recalculation in the last elections in 2016.

According to the head of the Wisconsin election committee, Megan Wolfe, the state still has not decided whether a recount will be carried out.

Earlier it was reported that Trump's headquarters dropped most of the requirements in the lawsuit, which was aimed at challenging the results of the presidential election in the state of Pennsylvania, the lawsuit was filed in a new version. The Trump team said Republicans were at a disadvantage due to the counting rules in some constituencies. In particular, it was allowed to correct errors in the bulletins that were sent by mail. At the same time, Trump's headquarters rejected claims that election officials violated his constitutional rights, as they allegedly limited the ability of his observers to monitor the vote count.

On November 7, Democratic candidate Joe Biden won 290 with the required 270 electoral votes. Having secured his victory, he proclaimed himself the president-elect of the United States. Trump, in turn, said that the elections are not officially over yet, and the results will be appealed in court. He believes that Biden was quick to call himself the country's new leader.
