Mayor Rudolph J. Giuliani, the Trump campaign’s lead attorney, today announced that the campaign filed a petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision that allowed over 50,000 illegal absentee ballots in violation of Article II of the U.S. Constitution and Wisconsin law. The filing seeks expedited consideration before the January 6 Congressional review of the Electoral College votes. This marks the second Constitutional challenge to illegal mail voting filed by the Campaign, following a petition from Pennsylvania filed on December 20.
According to President Trump’s lead Wisconsin attorney, Jim Troupis: “Regrettably, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in their 4-3 decision, refused to address the merits of our claim. This ‘Cert Petition’ asks them to address our claims, which, if allowed, would change the outcome of the election in Wisconsin.” Troupis noted, “Three members of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, including the Chief Justice, agreed with many of the President’s claims in written dissents from that court’s December 14 order.”
Professor John Eastman, a constitutional scholar at the Claremont Institute, also noted: “The petition challenging the decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to allow partisan state and local election officials to ignore key anti-fraud provisions of Wisconsin law is extremely persuasive. The federal constitutional issues raised by the case cannot be more clear. Article II of the Constitution, as interpreted in Bush v. Gore, assigns to the ‘legislature’ the plenary power to determine the manner of choosing presidential electors, not executive officials, un-elected bureaucrats, or even the state’s judiciary. That authority was eviscerated in Wisconsin, resulting in more than 50,000 illegal ballots being cast and counted.”
The Trump Petition raises a number of issues, including:
– More than 28,000 votes were counted from people who failed to provide identification by abusing the state’s “indefinitely confined” status, including two Biden electors.
– Nearly 6,000 absentee ballots were counted that were contained in incomplete and altered ballot envelopes that the Wisconsin statutes expressly forbid.
– More than 17,000 ballots were collected by hand, in direct contravention of the statutes, in Democrat-sponsored events in Madison in September and October.
Amy’s jurisdiction in play!
Praying for a miracle next Wednesday, led by Veep Pence!!
The pattern of behavior of the courts on election fraud lawsuits:
-if the case is weak, take it and rule against
-if the case is strong, stall until it is too late.
Zero chance SCOTUS will revive a case which the state supreme court squelched.
It comes down to making sure the alternate electors are counted.
I bet the ChickenCrap Chief of No-Justice won’t look at it until after the Inauguration Day
I read the Wisconsin Supreme Court “opinion.” The majority decision was so much drivel. In truly bizarre fashion, Justice Brian Hagedorn, the author of the majority opinion, added a separate concurring opinion agreeing with himself while delineating many of the things that went wrong during the Wisconsin 2020 election and vowing that public respect for election integrity had to be restored and election process improvements had to be made in future.
Hey, Judge, how about starting by doing your damn job and upholding the law in respect to the massive irregularities in 2020? There may not be a future if such massive vote fraud is tolerated. Zuckerberg ought not be allowed to buy off Wisconsin election administrators.
The Wisconsin case was strong so SCOTUS may reject it.
There are no certified alternate electors TO count.
“Alternate” electors who met in parking lots and high school gymnasiums to “vote” for Trump are no more electors that can be counted on 1/6 than you or I.
if allowed, would change the outcome of the election in Wisconsin

And it won’t be allowed of course. The fix is in. Amy has nothing to say, since she is not involved in this case and Roberts has basically intimidated her and the rest of SCOTUS with being responsible for riots - the Constitution is no biggy here to them.
Perfect.
Trump and Giuliani are insane. They keep trying the same thing expecting a different result.
“Lol, no standing” - scotus
“They keep trying the same thing expecting a different result.”
Please cite the case filed by Trump that SCOTUS has issued a “result” for.
What case was filed that represents, “the same thing”?
Your assertion is made without evidence. Were you there when the electors were appointed?
The state legislatures have plenary authority.
I appreciate each and every case. I want the supreme court to have no excuse; and each case makes it a little more difficult for them to hide.
What state(s) do you believe there are that appointed “alternate” electors?
There have been precisely zero states that have appointed (and more importantly, certified) alternate electors.
Take MI for example. I’ve seen countless reports of there being “alternate” electors for MI, which is not true.
There are no certified alternate electors for MI - of for any other state. For MI, I watched the video of the Amistad Project Attorney trying to hand the “alternate vote” of the Republican electors - who apparently voted in a parking lot - to the Michigan State Police (because the House and Senate were under lockdown with no-one being admitted and Whitmer having the State Police act as her personal gestapo), and asking the Police LT to deliver them to the MI Senate (not that it would have mattered, the MI House and Senate have publicly stated time and again that they are not certifying any such “alternate” electors). The Lt. declined to accept them (again, not that it would have mattered). Similar things happened in every other contested state. There has not been a single Legislature in a contested state that “certified” alternate electors.
So, where this rumor comes from is that there are indeed people who COULD have been certified IF Trump had won the state in question, but were NOT certified because Biden allegedly “won”. In many cases, these people “voted” for Trump anyway and are claiming (wrongly) that they are “alternate electors” - but it does not matter as the legislature did not then CERTIFY that particular vote outcome by that particular group of people. And no state has shown a willingness to change their mind from here and certify a second, alternate set prior to 1/6.
Only certified electors can be counted by Pence.
Anything claiming the contrary is unfortunately nothing more than click-bait.
So, to summarize your statement, you essentially admit you do not know. Clearly the lack of evidence is not evidence that alternate slates of electors have not in fact been selected by each of the contested states.
So if you are ignorant, I recommend you simply be patient and let us both see what the future brings.
And they’ll get right on it...Right after Valentines Day...
