End of Recounting Votes in the U.S. Election: Confirmation of Trump's Victory in Wisconsin

The recount of votes in Wisconsin concluded on Monday, December 12 (U.S. time), confirming the victory of Donald Trump from the Republican Party. The final results in Pennsylvania also indicate Trump's victory. Jill Stein, from the Green Party, known as the 'Third Stream' in the U.S. elections, initiated a campaign aimed at raising funds for recounting votes, calling for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Ms. Stein stated that the number of absentee ballots in Wisconsin shows a significant increase and that the vote counting system may have been hacked. However, she did not provide any evidence or witnesses for these allegations. Hillary Clinton's campaign, the Democratic candidate, stated that although there is no evidence of hacking, they would participate in the recount in Wisconsin. Donald Trump, the President-elect of the U.S., described this as 'ridiculous' and aimed at deceiving public opinion. According to the Associated Press, the recount in Wisconsin, after counting nearly 3 million votes, did not change significantly, with Trump winning the state by nearly 23,000 votes and gaining an additional 131 votes. This prompted a reaction from the President-elect, who reflected on Twitter: 'The Green Party and Democrats can now take a break. Fraud!' Ms. Stein herself stated that the purpose of the recount was not to change the outcome but to ensure the integrity of the election. Mark Thompson, the head of the election commission in Wisconsin, stated before the recount results were announced that there is no evidence of fraud. In Pennsylvania, the election committee announced the vote count results, indicating that out of 6 million votes cast, Donald Trump won by 44,000 additional votes. The Green Party had previously withdrawn its request for a recount in Pennsylvania, as state laws do not permit a recount, and one of the party's lawyers stated that their efforts had gone nowhere. A federal court also halted attempts for a recount, resulting in the final results being announced. In Michigan, a federal court ruled against a recount and announced the results. The vote results must be officially announced by December 13, and Republicans had previously raised concerns that a recount might negatively impact the legal deadline. The vote counting results in Michigan show that Mr. Trump surpassed Ms. Clinton by 11,000 votes from 4.8 million votes cast.
