On Monday (March 8), the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the last of three election cases filed by former President Donald Trump, without issuing a statement explaining the practice.
Trump’s complaint against thousands of absentee ballots in Wisconsin was dismissed by the Supreme Court on Monday and did not proceed to a hearing, Reuters reported.
“The court did not provide any reason for refusing to hear the former president’s complaint,” the report noted.
In the Wisconsin case, Trump filed the lawsuit two days after the state confirmed its election results last December. He challenged several of Wisconsin’s election policies, including one that allowed the use of drop boxes to collect mail-in ballots during the pandemic.
The lawsuit became another failed attempt by the Trump camp to go after U.S. election irregularities. Prior to that, on Feb. 22, the Supreme Court denied two other Trump appeals, including a second appeal from Wisconsin and another appeal related to the Pennsylvania vote. The lower court had previously ruled in a related case.
The Supreme Court on Monday also dismissed another election-related case brought by Trump ally Lin Wood, who asked the judge to block the Jan. 5 Senate runoff election in Georgia. The court did not act as requested, and Democratic candidates won both races to gain a majority in the Senate in Congress.
