WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump campaign says it has filed a lawsuit in Michigan state court demanding “meaningful access” to locations where ballots are being counted. Michigan is one of the undecided states that could determine whether President Donald Trump gets another four years in office. The Trump campaign says it is calling for a temporary halt in the counting until it is given “meaningful access” in numerous locations and allowed to review ballots that already have been opened and processed. Trump is running slightly behind Democratic nominee Joe Biden in Michigan. Trump’s campaign also says it will ask for a recount in Wisconsin, which The Associated Press called for Biden on Wednesday afternoon. Campaign manager Bill Stepien is citing “irregularities in several Wisconsin counties.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden has defeated President Donald Trump in battleground Wisconsin, securing the state’s 10 electoral votes and reclaiming a key part of the blue wall that slipped away from Democrats four years ago. The Associated Press called Wisconsin for Biden after election officials said all outstanding ballots had been counted, save for a few hundred in one township and an expected small number of provisional ballots. Trump’s campaign has requested a recount. Statewide recounts in Wisconsin have historically changed the vote tally by only a few hundred votes. The victory for Biden bumps him up to 248 electoral votes, while Trump has 214. It takes 270 to win the presidency.
