Following the conclusion of a recount, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) on Monday certified President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state.

The recount of ballots cast in the state's two largest counties was requested by President Trump's campaign, and resulted in Biden receiving a net increase of 87 votes. Going into the recount, Biden was ahead of Trump in Wisconsin by more than 20,000 votes. The chairwoman of the Wisconsin Elections Commission approved the results before Evers signed a certificate completing the process.

Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes. Trump, who won the state in 2016 by 22,748 votes, has said he will file another lawsuit in an attempt to overturn the results.
