The Trump campaign is paying a whopping $3 million to force a ballot recount in two Wisconsin counties where Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent millions to ensure “secure” elections in primarily Democrat stronghold cities in the critical swing state.

Breitbart – The campaign requested recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties, which include the cities of Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, which delivered big margins for former Vice President Joe Biden late in the counting process.

The Trump campaign cited accusations of illegally altered absentee ballots, illegally issued absentee ballots and illegal advice given by government officials as well as officials allowing the circumvention of Wisconsin’s Voter ID laws.

“The people of Wisconsin deserve to know whether their election processes worked in a legal and transparent way,” said Jim Troupis, counsel to the campaign in a statement about the requested recount. “Regrettably, the integrity of the election results cannot be trusted without a recount in these two counties and uniform enforcement of Wisconsin absentee ballot requirements.”

On Sept 16, 100 Percent Fed Up reported – The WVA – Wisconsin Voters Alliance filed a complaint against a “left-leaning group” funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, who donated a whopping quarter of billion dollars to the group that claims “Elections place too many burdens on voters.”

The group doesn’t appear to be worried about all voters, however, as it appears they’re taking a rather strategic approach to their funding.

The left-leaning group that received $250 million from the Facebook CEO, makes the incredible claim on their website that “Elections place too many burdens on voters.”

If the Center For Civic Design was serious about their statement, why didn’t they hire buses in areas that lean solidly for Trump, like in northern MI, where people may have to drive 20 or more miles to get to their local polling places? What about their “burden?” Or are some burdens more important than others?

The complaint filed with the WI Election Commission points out that the Zuckerberg funded group is only spending in the five critical cities in Wisconsin where Hillary Clinton picked up 82% of the vote in 2016: Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine—all Democratic strongholds.

As of Sept. 16, the group had spent an incredible $6.3 million in the critical swing state of Wisconsin with 10 electoral votes.

Here is the list of cities won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election where the bulk of Zuckerberg’s funding was spent, curiously, in most of these cities, Biden’s vote margin came in substantially higher than they did for Hillary.
