MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court rules against Trump's attempt to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the state.

If there is an alternate set of electors, it will be up to Congress to select the valid set.
You are posting an article based on an anonymous CNN source?! Have you learned nothing from the past four years?
Oh OK, thanks. I’m tellin’ ya, The people who make Aleve are going to get rich(er) off of me. :-)
Republican majority on court..must be a Roberts type on it.
Correct. But Wisconsin hasn’t sent an alternate slate of electors so the issue isn’t relevant.
Anyone telling you POTUS lost in the WI decision needs to hold up. I’m reading the decision now and that doesn’t appear to be the case - at all. https://wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/DisplayDocument.pdf?content=pdf&seqNo=315283
Bushmills and Guinness are making a bundle off me!
If there sufficient cause, I don’t think there is anything stopping the Wisconsin legislature from doing so before Jan. 6th. Since there is litigation pending, I don’t think the Safe Harbor statute from comes into play. I really don’t think the Safe Harbor statute can tie the hands of Congress anyway since their power is derived straight from the Constitution.
Safe harbor isn’t relevant if the electoral college has already met and voted.
It is hard to keep them all straight sometimes.
“Worse still, it is the same court issuing two decisions that in effect contradict each other.
If some absentee ballots ought not to have been issued and counted, how can TrumpâÂÂs challenge be without merit.
Wisconsin was decided by 20,000+ votes. Bad absentee ballots added to the mix may have determined the outcome.”
Under this ruling, no absentee ballots were actually improperly issued. The Court enjoined the State of Wisconsin from implementing their plan to sent unsolicited absentee ballots back in April. This effort never got off the ground.
The appeals for a decision on the merits have been winding their way through the state court system since basically March, finally reaching a decision affirming that the state can’t send unsolicited absentee ballots.
But the state never actually did. They were stopped from doing so back in April. This decision merely confirms the injunction issued way before the election ever happened was, in fact, correct.
This ruling does not in any way say that absentee ballots were issued improperly, because the court stopped that effort from ever beginning.

Different case.
The efforts to issue unsolicited absentee ballots in Wisconsin never happened. The state was enjoined from doing so back in April.
The court is ruling that such efforts WOULD HAVE BEEN improper had the state gone through with it. It didn’t. It was stopped from doing so by the courts in April pending the outcome of the suit.
Your referenced thread posted by BFAC has many details that make it believable, whereas this thread is based on a tweet promising more details. For now, I will believe the referenced thread.

Correct. The MSM is not telling you that there are TWO rulings today. DJT lost one but the state GOP won the other.
The court has left open the door for more challenges. This is far from over.
One of Two Wisconsin Supreme Court Rulings Give President Trump the Win - May Be Enough Votes to Win the State.
“OK, so then what was Trump’s lawsuit about? I remember the judge asking questions about what to do about the problem over the weekend, and the proper remedy...”
Whether procedures used to count certain absentee ballots (about 200,000) were proper and legal, and whether such ballots could be legally counted.
He lost that case.
I was referring to the ballots issued to those who were allegedly “indefinitely confined.” The terminology used by the various states differs a bit so I may have used an incorrect reference specific to Wisconsin.
