The results of the Wisconsin recount were finalized Monday, reaffirming Donald Trump's victory in the traditionally blue state.
The Associated Press reported Monday afternoon that Trump actually picked up 162 additional votes, keeping his margin of victory around 22,000 over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The final results, certified by the Wisconsin Elections Commission, changed by fewer than 1,800 votes.
The recount was initiated by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, whose other recount efforts in Michigan and Pennsylvania have been stopped by courts.
Wisconsin's recount uncovered no widespread voter fraud or hacking.

EXCERPT:
The numbers barely budged in Wisconsin after nearly 3 million votes were recounted. Trump picked up a net 162 votes and still won by more than 22,000 votes. The final results changed just 0.06 percent.
