Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: “President Donald Trump sued Wisconsin officials Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to reclaim a state he lost by about 20,700 votes. The Republican president filed his suit against Democratic Gov. Tony Evers a day after the governor and the head of the state Elections Commission certified Joe Biden had won the state’s 10 Electoral College votes. Trump has made little headway with lawsuits in other states and he faces an extraordinarily difficult path in Wisconsin. Time is running short. Under the federal ‘safe harbor’ law, the results determined by the state will be respected if challenges to the outcome are resolved by Dec. 8.”
“The Electoral College meets on Dec. 14 and Congress is to count the electoral votes on Jan. 6. State law says challenges to election results are to be filed in circuit court, but Trump brought his lawsuit directly with the state Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a 4-3 majority. The justices did not immediately say whether they would take the case. Since the election last month, Trump has argued hundreds of thousands of ballots in Wisconsin should be thrown out, in many cases on technicalities. For instance, he alleges the process election officials have used for more than a decade to conduct in-person early voting is illegal.”
