Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson reports the presidential vote recount came in under budget at almost one-point-seven-million dollars.
The budget was $2 million.
Christenson says about one-third of the cost was used to rent the space where the ballots were counted again.
President Donald Trump’s campaign paid $3 million in advance for the recounts in heavily-Democratic Milwaukee and Dane counties. The effort actually discovered a few additional votes for Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Trump lost Wisconsin by less than 22,000 votes.
