President-Elect Donald Trump is planning a return visit to Wisconsin, as part of his "thank you" tour of several states that were battlegrounds during the presidential campaign.  

Trump has scheduled a stop at State Fair Park in West Allis on Tuesday night. Vice President-Elect Mike Pence is expected to join him. 

Trump won Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win the state since 1984.  

Trump's visit occurs on the same day Wisconsin must certify the results of a statewide recount. Green Party candidate Jill Stein requested the re-tabulation. It's still ongoing but so far, only a few votes have changed.
