Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden gained an additional 87 votes in Wisconsin’s partial recount on Sunday, confirming his lead in the state count that is being contested by the Trump campaign over alleged voting irregularities.

Before the partial recount began on Nov. 20, Biden was ahead statewide by about 20,000 votes. Dane and Milwaukee counties started recounts after the Wisconsin Elections Commission approved a request for recount from the Trump campaign at a cost of $3 million.
