Wisconsin GOP Candidate Hovde Questions Senate Race Results, Considers Recount
Eric Hovde, a Wisconsin Republican, acknowledged his defeat to Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin but questioned the election's legitimacy, considering a recount. Despite losing by less than a percentage point, Hovde cited "improbable" results and "inconsistencies," particularly in Milwaukee's late-night ballot reporting. Election officials and experts dismissed his claims, attributing the results to normal voting patterns and same-day registrations. Hovde also accused Democrats of manipulating third-party candidates to siphon votes. Under Wisconsin law, he can request a recount, but experts doubt it will change the outcome.
