The latest on US election recounts and court challenges: Wisconsin recount confirms Joe Biden beat Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump’s team was dealt another blow on the weekend as recounts in Wisconsin’s two largest counties confirmed Joe Biden won the hotly contested state by more than 20,000 votes.
Trump’s team has vowed to challenge the results, alleging problems with voting legality without elaborating or providing any evidence.
Trump’s legal challenges have already failed in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
However, Trump is still vowing to take the Pennsylvania challenge to the Supreme Court, despite his lawyers saying they are still weighing up whether it would be worth it.
Meanwhile, Georgia is working to complete its third recount. The state has already delivered victory to Biden twice.
