Trump is asking the federal Supreme Court to review Wisconsin’s case

Madison, Wisconsin – President Donald Trump’s campaign on Tuesday asked the federal Supreme Court to admit his failed lawsuit challenging the Wisconsin election results.

Trump lost the state to Democrat Joe Biden by about 21,000 votes. The presidential campaign filed a lawsuit in the state Supreme Court to try to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in Dane and Milwaukee counties, the two most democratically inclined counties in the state.

Trump wanted to disqualify absentee ballots submitted in advance and in person, arguing that there was no proper written request for the ballots, as well as ballots filed by people who claimed “indefinitely” status. confined “; ballots collected by election workers in Madison parks; and ballot papers in absentia where election employees filled in the missing information on the ballot envelopes.

The state Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit with 4 votes in favor and 3 against, ruling that Trump’s challenge to voters who were indefinitely confined had no support and that the other allegations were filed too late.

The Trump campaign is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that the Wisconsin election failed and allow the Republican-controlled legislature to appoint state voters.

Trump and his allies have suffered dozens of defeats in lawsuits filed in Wisconsin and across the country that are based on unfounded claims that there was widespread fraud and electoral abuse. The president last week asked the federal Supreme Court to reverse three Pennsylvania Supreme Court errors related to postal voting and allow the Pennsylvania General Assembly to choose its own voter list.
