Presidential election recount gets underway in Wisconsin

Douglas County election officials got right to work Thursday morning, reconciling poll books and absentee ballot certificates — then sorting, counting and recounting ballots by hand as Wisconsin's first statewide presidential election recount got underway across the state.

Before 12:30 p.m., a second group of tabulators started rolling in. The morning crew had already recounted ballots cast in Amnicon, Bennett, Gordon, Hawthorne, Maple and Summit.

“These ladies are top notch,” said Gwen Theien of the Douglas County Board of Canvassers.
