The Trump campaign filed a petition on Nov. 18 for a partial recount in Wisconsin of several counties, and has spent $3 million to cover the estimated cost.

A full recount of the state would cost around $8 million, Wisconsin election officials have previously said.

The recount request is for Milwaukee and Dane counties, the campaign said, noting there were alleged “illegally altered absentee ballots, illegally issued absentee ballots, and illegal advice given by government officials allowing Wisconsin’s Voter ID laws to be circumvented,” according to a statement.
