But by the end of the day, Trump was alleging on Twitter that: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally”. While it’s unclear precisely how much it’s going to cost, the initiative will most likely clock in at somewhere between $1 and 2 million, based on the cost of previous recounts in the state.
The charges and countercharges could present a highly toxic issue for the Justice Department, including Sen.

Trump won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and as of Wednesday, held a lead of nearly 11,000 votes in MI, with the results awaiting state certification Monday.
Trump won the three states by a small margin.
