OVER – AT 10:50 A.M. ET:  The great Wisconsin recount is over.  Don't hold your breath.  From the Wisconsin State Journal:

Wisconsin’s historic presidential recount ended Monday resulting in a net gain of 131 votes for President-elect Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said.

Trump added 844 votes to his total for the Nov. 8 election, while Clinton added 713.

Overall, the commission said, voters cast 2.976 million ballots. The recount resulted in a net increase of 837 ballots.

“Completing this recount was a challenge, but the real winners are the voters,” Elections Commission Chairman Mark Thomsen said in a statement after signing off on the statewide results. “Based on the recount, they can have confidence that Wisconsin’s election results accurately reflect the will of the people, regardless of whether they are counted by hand or by machine.”

COMMENT:  Hillary will probably claim that the election officials spoke with Russian agents, or were Fox News contributors. 

In fact, there was never any serious issue raised about the integrity of the Wisconsin vote.  The recount was entirely unnecessary.
