The conclusion of the first day of Wisconsin’s recount in the presidential race has netted Hillary Clinton one vote.
Currently, approximately 22,000 votes separate Clinton and winner Donald Trump.
Trump garnered 1,404,000 (47.2 percent) votes to Clinton’s 1,381,823 (46.4 percent), while Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who called for the recount (now backed by Clinton’s campaign), took 1 percent of the vote or 31,006.
Based on the first day of the recount’s results, it does not appear the candidates’ overall tallies will change much.
Menominee County, home to the Menominee Indian Reservation, was the only one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties to fully report its results at the end of the first day. It is the second-smallest county in terms of population with approximately 4, 500 people.
Trump lost two votes and Clinton lost one, while Stein picked up 17 votes and Libertarian Gary Johnson gained 12, the Racine Journal Times reported. Wisconsin counties have until Dec. 13 to complete their recounts.

I work in finance too. And it depends what books need to be balanced. Some things balance out to the penny, some don’t. If I’m holding 1 million in tnotes for 10 clients and the interest total comes out 4 cents ahead for that t-notes, who do you give the 4 cents to? In our case it goes to the overage account, we can’t give out partial cents to customers. In this case they don’t individually look at every individual ballot, and take an hour on the questionable ones in the original count, if there is a close election, then every ballot is scrutinized.

Obviously, you do not work for the government where rounding to the nearest billion is sufficient. :-)
