President Trump’s reelection campaign on Tuesday challenged the results of the presidential election in Wisconsin, filing a petition to the Supreme Court asking it to review about 50,000 absentee ballots in the state.
President-elect Joe Biden won Wisconsin by more than 20,000 votes over Trump, and the Electoral College earlier this month affirmed the former vice president’s victory by more than 70 electoral votes.
But Trump has refused to concede and has continued to make various legal challenges to the results in Wisconsin and a handful of other states, to losing results so far.
In this case, Trump’s campaign is contesting a decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this month that ruled against the president.
Conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn ruled against Trump in the 4-3 decision, siding with three liberal justices on the state court that the challenge was filed too late and was unreasonable.
