With Wisconsin’s historic presidential recount nearly three-quarters complete, Democrat Hillary Clinton has gained 82 votes on Republican president-elect Donald Trump.

The state Elections Commission reported the figures Wednesday. It added that the first statewide presidential recount since 2004 is on pace to finish by an 8 p.m. Monday deadline.

The recount has proceeded despite a federal lawsuit from Trump supporters seeking to shut it down. A hearing on the lawsuit, brought by Great America PAC, Stop Hillary PAC and Wisconsin voter Ronald R. Johnson, is scheduled for Friday. Judge James Peterson denied a request for an immediate halt to the recount last week.

As of the end of the day Tuesday, Clinton had added 492 votes to her total and Trump had added 410 votes, the Elections Commission said. The original tally showed Trump leading by more than 22,000 votes out of nearly 3 million votes cast.

The recount was requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, whose campaign paid $3.5 million. Her vote total in the state has increased by 60 votes so far.

The cost was based on estimates by the county offices conducting the recount. Stein’s campaign will be charged for any amount in excess of what was already paid.
