Quick facts
- As President Trump’s legal team argued before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Saturday that there are hundreds of thousands of ballots in the two blue counties, the president’s elected efforts have suffered another legal loss in federal district court.
- The case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court is to allow voting in the heavily Democratic Milwaukee and Dan counties. The president does not challenge the vote in the winning counties.
U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig, who appointed President Trump to the bench, rejected the federal lawsuit, which would have forced the state legislature to declare Trump the winner by a vote from the state Electoral College over Democrat Jid Biden.
Ludwig said the president’s legal arguments “fail in terms of law and fact.”
Another case, aimed at allowing voting in heavily Democratic Milwaukee and Dan counties, was dismissed by a lower court, but was later overturned by the state Supreme Court. The president does not challenge the vote in the winning counties.
