MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, saying the case must first wind its way through lower courts.
The legal defeat was the latest in a string of losses for Trump’s post-election lawsuits. Judges in multiple battleground states have rejected his claims of fraud or irregularities.
Trump had asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in the state’s two biggest Democratic counties, alleging irregularities in the way absentee ballots were administered. His lawsuit echoed claims that were earlier rejected by election officials in those counties during a recount that barely affected Biden’s winning margin of about 20,700 votes.
Trump had wanted the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, saying there wasn’t enough time to wage the legal battle by starting first with a lower court given the looming Dec. 14 date when presidential electors cast their votes. But attorneys for Gov. Tony Evers and the state Department of Justice argued the law required the lawsuit to start with lower courts.
The court ruled 4-3 against Trump, with swing Justice Brian Hagedorn joining three liberal justices in denying the petition. The order said Trump can file in circuit court.

Procedural - they want him to start in circuit court.
Seems to be a pattern. Don’t know about Wisconsin’s SP judges, but in PA, they are 5-2 Dem hacks.
There is only one explanation for all these state court denials. CHINESE$$$$$$$
I think we should all agree not to post AP articles even if the kernel of the article is factually accurate.
Wisconsin is supposedly 4-3R. Actually looks like 3D 3R 1Rino
Last SC election was stolen as well, election fraud has been around in WI for a LONG time. And Hagedorn is our “RINO Roberts”.
Of course, delay delay delay.
The public's confidence in elections is pretty much shot, regardless of whether the Wisconsin Supreme Court had taken the case or not.
Running out the clock on Trump.
Not only a loss in confidence in the election process but in the Republicans as well. At least the Rats fight, the pubbies just scurry to the darkness.
They seek to run the clock out.
Corruption in defense of corruption.
Trump should hand deliver each one of his cases to the Supreme Court.
Apparently, at least one R Justice is corrupt and wants to help run out the clock.
Time to start rounding up traitors.
Sorry, I didn’t notice any factual errors in this article.
The two political parties are SCUM and should be outlawed.
