Three WI counties — with highly unexpected surges of votes to Trump — have decided not to hand count their paper ballots when they have an option to machine-scan them. This could prove consequential in a state where just 22,177 votes separate the candidates.

The counties are:

Outagamie (biggest city: Appleton)

Average margin of victory, last four presidential elections: 1,639 votes, GOP

2016: 13,480 GOP

Brown (biggest city: Green Bay — home of the Packers)

Average margin of victory, last four presidential elections: 2,074 GOP

2016: 13,804 GOP

Average margin of victory, last four presidential elections: 17,080, DEM

2016: 7,845, DEM

Gain beyond average for GOP: 9,235
