A federal lawsuit in Wisconsin that drew nationwide attention was dismissed on Nov. 16.
Three voters filed the suit last week, seeking to exclude election results in three of the state’s counties. They alleged there was “sufficient evidence that illegal votes were counted” in Milwaukee, Dane, and Menominee counties “to change or place in doubt the results” of the presidential election.
But the voters early Monday requested the suit be dismissed.
Court filings did not give a reason why Michael Langenhorst, Michael LeMay, and Stephen Fifrick made the decision. Attorneys for the men said they couldn’t comment.
Two of the lawyers cited attorney-client privilege.
“Because of atty client privilege and because I do not telegraph my next moves, I cannot comment,” James Bopp Jr. told The Epoch Times via email.
“Unfortunately, attorney-client privilege does not allow us to discuss,” Jeffrey Gallant in an email.
Michael Dean, the third lawyer, also declined to comment.
U.S. District Judge William Griesbach, a George W. Bush nominee, granted the request.
Defense attorneys didn’t respond to a request for a response to the dismissal.
The voters had sued county clerks and election commissioners, members of the Wisconsin Election Commission, and Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat. They argued against certifying Wisconsin’s election results without excluding the three aforementioned counties, which helped swing the Midwest state to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over President Donald Trump.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin State Conference National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin filed motions to intervene, challenging the basis of the suit.
NAACP attorneys said the suit constituted “an all-out attack on votes case by Black voters,” adding later that the plaintiffs used “untenable and untrue allegations that sufficient illegal ballots were included in the November 3, 2020 general election results to change or place those results in doubt.”
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin added: “Plaintiffs—who do not even live in the counties about which they complain—seek to disrupt the lawful certification of ballots in three of Wisconsin’s 72 counties based on nothing more than rank speculation and unsupported suspicion.”
Trump and his campaign have alleged election irregularities in a number of states, including Wisconsin.
“There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results,” Bill Stepien, Trump’s campaign manager, said in a statement after Election Day.
The campaign plans to request a recount after the final margin fell within the 1 percent margin required for an aggrieved candidate to request a recount.
Meagan Wolfe, the state’s top election official, said last week that she’s seen no evidence of “systemic or widespread election issues.” Follow Zachary on Twitter: @zackstieber

Lives of their family was probably threatened.
The Filers woke up with a decapitated horse head next them Sunday morning....so, ya know.

It is difficult to pursue a case if your are dead or in ICU.
Lives of their family was probably threatened.
That would be my guess.
Well this statement is interesting:
“Because of atty client privilege and because I do not telegraph my next moves, I cannot comment,” James Bopp Jr."
I wonder what is meant exactly by "my next moves".
The DEMs and the Deep State were *never* going to allow Trump to be re-elected. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand. Illegal or not, they don’t care. Haven’t for quite some time.
Threats to them and family or a payoff. Probably the former. It would be very hard to stand against the violence the lefty crud is willing and able to bring against just about anyone.
Plaintiff names ought not to be made available in cases such as these and during times we are living in today.
I wonder if they didn’t have evidence team trump would be using so they asked them to step back.
Perhaps the case is going to be pursued by the president’s team? Double indemnity and all that stuff.
Occam’s Razor. Most likely explanation is that their suit either (1) Was a repetition/duplication of litigation already in process (happens very often); or (2) The filers were ill-prepared to bring their suit to a conclusion (also happens very often).
Granted, with all the crooks floating around in these days & times, it’s only natural to be suspicious. But we’ve gotta guard against automatically assuming that anything and everything is a conspiracy or a threat.
The only thing I can add is that one of Trump’s attorneys, Jay Sekulow, said on his call-in radio show that we need to wait for hearings in the state and district courts, which should happen next week. He said that’s the earliest when we’ll see significant legal developments.
Oh for God’s sake, seek help!
we need to wait for hearings in the state and district courts, which should happen next week.
It is interesting that whenever folks on the Trump legal team speak, they make a lot of sense, and seem to know what they are talking about...
On the other hand, whenever the pearl-clutchers around here push their negative vibes, they make unsubstantiated claims and have no clue what they are discussing.
This must be a coincidence. :-)
That’s a nice home you got there - be a shame for anything to happen to it.
Yes— this is most likely— to avoid conflating the cases and confusing the outcome from more complete evidence.
No-it was re-filed already with more hard stats and facts, as per Newsmax...
MONEY!!!!
Or paid off...
