The Trump (Trump) team filed a complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 29, asking the high court to fast-track the Wisconsin absentee ballot irregularities case.
On Dec. 29 EST, the Trump legal team filed a complaint with the Supreme Court challenging the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss allegations of absentee ballot irregularities during the general election.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court voted 4 to 3 on December 14 to dismiss the lawsuit in which the Trump team tried to overturn the state’s election results.
The Trump campaign’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said that he was not a part of the campaign. Giuliani (Rudy Giuliani) 29 filed a complaint with the federal Supreme Court, seeking a review order. And asked the Supreme Court on January 6 before a joint session of Congress, the case for a quick review.
Trump’s campaign lawyer Jim Troupi, who is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, said the case will be reviewed by the Supreme Court before a joint session of Congress on January 6. In a statement, Jim Troupis said, “In the court’s Dec. 14 order, three Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, including the chief justice, agreed with many of the allegations in the written challenge filed by the president.”
The statement said, “The order seeking review is asking them (the Supreme Court) to address our allegations, which, if allowed, would change the outcome of the general election in Wisconsin.”
There are four categories of absentee ballots in Wisconsin: absentee ballots cast by voters in advance and in person; absentee ballots cast by people claiming “indefinitely restricted” status; absentee ballots collected by poll workers in Madison Park; and absentee ballots for which clerks filled in missing information on the ballot envelopes.
The lawsuit by the Trump team seeks to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in Dane and Milwaukee counties in the state. These two counties are the most voted for by Democrats in WI.
The WI Supreme Court denied the lawsuit on December 14, finding that Trump’s challenge to “indefinitely restricted” voters lacked merit and that the other allegations were too late.
The Trump campaign said the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling, which allowed more than 50,000 illegal absentee ballots, violated Article II of the U.S. Constitution and Wisconsin law.
Trump campaign legal counsel Jenna Ellis said the ruling violates Article II of the U.S. Constitution and Wisconsin law. The court’s refusal to hear the Trump campaign’s challenge to the election fraud is a denial of President Trump’s due process rights, Jenna Ellis told Newsmax on 29 June.
Ellis said, “They need to recognize that President Trump absolutely has the same opportunity to defend himself as President George W. Bush did in the 2000 case.”
She said it is clearly unfair to treat President Trump differently under due process and our Constitution. The Supreme Court has abdicated its duty and loyalty to the U.S. Constitution by “declining to take the case.
