MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Election officials accused observers for President Donald Trump of patterns of obstruction that are delaying a recount of Milwaukee County presidential results. By law the recount has a December 1 deadline. Tim Posnanski, a county election commissioner, said Trump representatives =objected to every ballot that tabulators pulled from a bag simply because they were folded. Posnanski called it “prima facie evidence of bad faith by the Trump campaign.” On Saturday sheriff’s deputies escorted at least one Trump observer from the building after pushing an election official who had lifted her coat from an observer chair. Another Trump observer was removed Friday for not wearing a face mask.
