Trump's Court Routine: WI Supreme Court Challenging Completed Certification

 

Trump's Post-Election Law Firm

UPDATED (December 8, 2020): USSC refuses to take up the Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) vote challenge case ... he's a done deal and rightly so.

Define Trump legal camp: Well, this might be it (again) based on Reuters reporting below with this headline:

“Trump campaign challenges election results in Wisconsin Supreme Court”

(Reuters) - Trump’s campaign filed a petition on Tuesday (December 1) challenging Wisconsin’s presidential vote results with the state’s Supreme Court, their latest in a series of so-far unsuccessful attempts to reverse Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the November election.

Ironically, the petition was submitted the very same day that AG Barr submitted his notice that the DOJ and HSD found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Trump’s campaign and his supporters and their efforts thus far have all sputtered in challenges to Biden victories in AZ, PA, GA, MI, and NV.

Their recent petition alleges that WI election officials were directed to fill in missing information on ballot envelopes, issued absentee ballots without receiving applications, and allowed people to improperly claim a “confined absentee voting status (for the CoVID-19 pandemic reason). 

The petition also takes issue with election officials in Madison hosting an event where officials collected and checked ballots in city parks, not polling stations.

A spokesman for the WI Supreme Court said there was no timeline for deciding to take the case.

However, one day before (Monday, November 30) WI already had certified Biden as winner of the state. 

The Trump campaign this is seeking withdrawal of that certification. 

Election law experts said the case might have better chances than other recent lawsuits but the court is unlikely to grant the campaign’s request to invalidate 221,323 absentee ballots. Biden won Wisconsin by about 20,000 votes.

Ned Foley of Ohio State University Moritz College of Law said: “The court’s conservative majority might find that some election rules were broken but it also might determine it can’t penalize voters because state officials made procedural mistakes.”

Additionally, Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, said: “Even if successful, the campaign would still need to overturn the results in several other states.”

Also on Tuesday, Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), and other Republican plaintiffs, said they have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a Saturday (November 28) ruling by the PA high court dismissing their case as they sought to nullify PA’s certification for Biden’s victory.

Alan Ball, a professor at Marquette University who studies the Wisconsin Supreme Court, said the justices were unlikely to side with Trump given that it seems obvious Biden won the election, adding: “It’s hard to imagine that the court would relish jumping into something this futile now.”

My 2 cents: Once again we see Trump’s real motive while in office has been and remains to be to simply enrich himself and his brand name as noted in the article stating that all these court cases and election challenges have been “a fundraising juggernaut” for him since it is well known that Trump has a huge money shortfall problem.

Now, this latest case in WI once again underscores that point.

The man is incorrigible beyond anything we have ever seen in American political history by far, hands down.

Thanks for stopping by.
