Two Wisconsin counties are being temporarily denied reimbursement by the Republican-led state Legislature’s budget committee for election recount costs, according to reports.

The Trump campaign paid $3 million for a partial recount in Milwaukee and Dane counties last month, which resulted in a gain of 87 votes for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, confirming his lead in the state count that’s being contested by the president’s campaign over alleged voting irregularities.
