In the ongoing comedy of errors that is the 2020 presidential election, a recount confirmed that President Donald Trump won Michigan’s Antrim County, even though the election night results appeared to show that Joe Biden had taken the county.
A hand recount in Antrim County conducted Thursday showed that Trump garnered 9,759 votes, while Biden got 5,959, the Detroit Free Press reported.
This was the third time that the county’s “results” were modified.
On election night, it looked like Biden had won the county, with the former vice president apparently up by roughly 3,000 votes the following morning.
Two days later, the county reversed course, saying President Trump won Antrim by around 2,500 votes.
Eventually, Trump was the winner by nearly 3,800 votes — a larger margin of victory than previously claimed. The audit conducted Thursday showed Trump with one more vote than the previous results, and Biden with 11 fewer votes.
County officials claimed the original miscount that wrongly showed Biden had won was the result of “human error” — a common refrain amid an alarming pattern of bizarre, dubious “errors” that seem to all favor Biden.
