«The Campaign is not entitled to relief,» the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Monday.
President Donald Trump’s attempts to legally overturn the election results in Wisconsin were denied Monday by a decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. According to the Associated Press, the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision effectively «ends Trump’s legal challenges in state court.» Trump’s Wisconsin lawsuit attempted to invalidate approximately 221,000 ballots in Milwaukee and Dane counties. He sought to overturn all ballots cast by individuals who claimed to be indefinitely confined. The lawsuit also alleged that some absentee ballots were obtained without proper paperwork being filled out. Election officials were also accused of adding witness information to the certification of absentee ballots. Another aspect of the lawsuit alleged that ballots collected during a public event at a park in Madison, Wisconsin were cast illegally. In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court said the lawsuit had been filed too late. «The Campaign’s delay in raising these issues was unreasonable in the extreme, and the resulting prejudice to the election officials, other candidates, voters of the affected counties, and to voters statewide, is obvious and immense,» wrote Justice Brian Hagedorn in the ruling.
