I'm guessing its Milwaukee and Dane - That's a 2.9 Million cost.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has received a wire transfer from the Trump campaign for $3 million. No petition has been received yet, but the Trump campaign has told WEC staff one will be filed today. We have no further information at this time.

(23,003 posts)Either they limited the counties to just those they had lost
OR
Repugs cheating the people of the state by accepting far less than is due.
Either seems likely to me, but for our country's sake, hope it's the first. WI had a long history of fuckery, hope Dems are all over this and don't let the traitors pull shit out of their asses.

(3 posts)Acting on written guidance from the WI Elections Commission, Municipal Clerks reached out to absentee voters to correct incomplete witness information on the absentee envelope that contained the ballot. The Trump campaign is hoping to get these absentee ballots rejected. There were a total of 579 thousand absentee ballots cast in those two counties and only a 20k statewide margin for Biden.
