President Trump’s campaign announced Wednesday morning it is filing a petition to formally ask election authorities to conduct a recount in two Wisconsin counties. President-elect Joe Biden won the state by a little more than 20,000 votes.

It’s the latest move in a string of largely failed legal attempts on behalf of the Trump team to challenge the election results.
