Donald Trump was again named the winner of Wisconsin after results from recount efforts in the state were tallied Monday.

The Associated Press reported Monday afternoon that Trump was the winner in the recount by more than 22,000 votes. In the recount, Trump actually picked up 162 votes according to the AP. The Wisconsin Elections Commission certified the results Monday.

The final results reportedly changed by fewer than 1,800 votes.

The recount was initiated by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, whose other recount efforts in Michigan and Pennsylvania have been stopped by courts.

Wisconsin's recount uncovered no widespread voter fraud or hacking.

Apparently we had some conervative folks from citzens against government waste there watching in Milwaukee during full days, all last week, anyway, and they reported the recount was handled very well. Any ballots that had an issue they would stop and ask if anyone wanted to come over while they reviewed it. The report was they all acted very professional and open to people watching what they were doing.

I trust the cgw folks, so this is refreshing news to hear.

This whole thing reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart runs for class president against Martin. The polls show him to be the overwhelming favorite, but he and his supporters are so overconfident that they all forget to vote. Cut to the scene where a jubilant Martin is celebrating with his one and only friend. Bart, stunned, says to the teacher, “I demand a recount!” “OK” she grins as she dumps the ballots on her desk. “One for Martin, two for Martin. Ha!”

The final Wisconsin vote is in and guess what - we just picked up an additional 131 votes. The Dems and Green Party can now rest. Scam!

His tweets are the best! The press/Dems just cannot handle sh*t getting thrown back in their faces.

They seem a little bent themselves. More like schizophrenic. They are not able to believe the math that’s been verified. The truth that Trump won is in front of them, but they see Russians instead. They see the devil. They’re hallucinating. They’re nuts.

That was the moment Election Night that I knew Trump had won the election (and I became a short-term cheesehead).
