On Thursday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to take up President Donald Trump’s lawsuit regarding the 2020 election, ruling that the case must make its way up through lower courts, even though the state’s Electoral College electors are scheduled to cast their votes on December 14. The Trump campaign’s lead lawyer in Wisconsin, Jim Troupis, framed the decision as a qualified win.
“We welcome the direction of the Supreme Court to file in Dane and Milwaukee Counties as we pursue making certain that only legal votes count in Wisconsin – and we will immediately do so,” Troupis said in a statement. “It was clear from their writings that the court recognizes the seriousness of these issues, and we look forward to taking the next step. We fully expect to be back in front of the Supreme Court very soon.”
“As I have said before, we will continue fighting on behalf of Wisconsinites and the American people to defend their right to a free and fair election. The only way to do that is by helping to restore integrity and transparency in our elections,” he added.
The lawsuit cites four cases of “clear evidence of unlawfulness, such as illegally altering absentee ballot envelopes, counting ballots that had no required application, overlooking unlawful claims of indefinite confinement, and holding illegal voting events called Democracy in the Park.” The lawsuit claims that Wisconsin officials counted 221,323 illegal votes, about eleven times Joe Biden’s margin.
Trump asked the state’s Supreme Court to take the case directly, claiming there was not enough time for the case to work its way up to the Wisconsin Supreme Court before Dec. 14.

Not really they wanted to a lower court to rule on it first
At this point, there is enough poop in the pipeline to ask the USSC to delay the 12/14 deadline.
RE: Not really they wanted to a lower court to rule on it first
The lower court better get their act together because we don’t have much time — Just 10 days before the Electors have to convene.
The federal courts are unlikely to rule that the states can commit fraud and then stonewall until the clock runs out.
And if the courts don’t finish the litigation in time it goes back to the legislature to choose the electors.
“The Trump campaign’s lead lawyer in Wisconsin, Jim Troupis, framed the decision as a qualified win.”
You all can count on Jim Troupis to do whatever he can to help Trump WIN the election he already WON in Wisconsin!
If Jim wants it to start at a lower court to gain steam, that works for me.
Running the clock out...
I pray you are correct.
As long as the suit includes a federal claim, which it surely must in this situation, it can be taken up directly now by the federal court system —
Foot dragging, running the clock out.....................
The courts have nothing to do with the election now that Dec. 3 has passed. It’s beholden upon the WI Legislature to come up with a slate of electors, or be removed from consideration at the Electoral College. We’re in 2nd Amendment territory, and the US Constitution is primary authority, not the Governors, nor the courts.
I’d say yes. There is just massive, massive multi tiered voter fraud from so many different angles and sources it’s just unbelievable.
For anyone to deny voter fraud on the basis of “no evidence” or “baseless claim” is either locked in a dark closet or an outright liar.
This staggering amount of evidence, whether it comes from Trump’s Team, Powell’s efforts, or others will undeniably prove action needs to be taken to thwart this steal.
I can think of far better things to do, none of them symbolic. There are many actions we can take, each in our own way, and though for most of us those actions will be small, when you multiply us by 80 million, they will be powerful. Think "Resistance" on steroids. The left has no idea what's barreling down the highway at them.
That’s likely how many of us will display the flag. But with Biden in office, the government’s flags will be flown upright with a large red hammer and cycle in the field of blue where the stars used to be.
The Wisconsin constitution DOES allow the state supreme court to take cases that have not come up through lower courts. Hagedorn decided this issue incorrectly. So now we have to ask why did a man who ran as a constitutional conservative do this? Does he want to avoid the court having to make a controversial decision? Does someone have something to hold over his head? We will probably never know why he decided what he did. I hope the Trump lawyers leave this and spend their time and money on MI, NZ, AZ and PA, because something is up with Hagedorn and they will not get a fair shake in the WI supreme court.
Any fair court would rule that the deadline is not valid as long as there are open lawsuits in the case. (Key word "fair").
Go to Scotus re both issues if can.
If they manage to steal this Presidency you will be lucky to be able to fly the flag, upside or otherwise. Think that can't happen just remember what they did to the Stars and Bars and the American flag represents a greater threat to them than a silly Confederate flag did, after all they were losers.
