Joe Sanfelippo, the vice-chairman of the Assembly elections and campaign committee.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and his allies claim there was voter fraud and other irregularities in the state, but those claims were rejected by state and federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court also refused to hear the case, and \u201cno significant problems were found with the state\u2019s voting machines after audits and recounts in both 2016 and in 2020,\u201d The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joe-biden-donald-trump-wisconsin-elections-subpoenas-bb7a79e35b86a34d02e8a4b1330e21c2\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans said they wanted to gather more evidence to see if laws were broken, but Democrats said they were trying to score political points, undermining the public\u2019s faith in elections and insulting election clerks, poll workers and others who ran the election,\u201d wrote the AP. \u201cEarlier this month, Republicans raised new questions about how the election was administered in Green Bay. The Assembly elections committee held a hearing on those issues, but did not invite any election officials accused of wrongdoing to testify. Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich called it a \u2018Stalinist show trial\u2019 and defended his city\u2019s handling of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After his loss, Trump repeatedly claimed that voter fraud and ballot irregularities cost him the 2020 presidential election.&nbsp;But a recount in a key county in Wisconsin, a battleground state Joe Biden won by about 20,000 votes, found that the Democrat actually got more votes than originally reported.<\/p>\n<p>Out of about 460,000 ballots cast in Milwaukee County, Biden picked up an additional 132 votes.&nbsp;Before the recount, Biden had 317,270 votes in to Trump\u2019s 134,357. After the recount, it was 317,527 for Biden and 134,482 for Trump, which meant Biden gained 257 votes and Trump added 125.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson, a Democrat, said the recount showed that elections in the county are fair, transparent, accurate and secure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI promised that this would be a transparent and fair process, and it was,\u201d&nbsp;Christenson said. \u201cThere was an examination of every ballot by election workers, a meticulous recounting of every ballot that was properly cast, a transparent process that allowed the public to observe, a fair process that allows the aggrieved candidate who sought the recount an opportunity to observe and object to ballots they believe should not be counted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Trump continued to insist that he won the state. \u201cLook at what\u2019s going on in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, they\u2019re finding tremendous discrepancy. You just take a look at that. Tremendous discrepancy,\u201d the president said on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Wisconsin, you all said I was going to lose \u2014 or the polls said \u2014 certain polls: Washington Post, ABC \u2014 said I was going to lose by 17 points. Think of how dishonest. I thought I was going to win it. And essentially, I did win it. It\u2019s very, very close. It\u2019s very, very close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
