The suit filed by Trump's campaign in Milwaukee County on Monday, December 7, is titled 'Donald J. Trump, Michael R. Pence, et al. vs Joseph R. Biden, Kamala D. Harris et al.'
President Donald Trump
has filed another lawsuit seeking to invalidate President-elect Joe Biden's win
in Wisconsin.
According to
DailyMail, the suit filed by Trump's campaign in Milwaukee County on Monday,
December 7, is titled 'Donald J. Trump, Michael R. Pence, et al. vs Joseph R. Biden,
Kamala D. Harris et al.'
The plaintiffs, which
include the campaign, the President himself, and Vice President Mike Pence,
seek a judgement from the county circuit court to 'set aside' the board of
canvassers' 'legal determination that in-person absentee ballots in Milwaukee
County should be counted.'
They asked the court
to set aside the same board of canvassers determination in Wayne County,
another county with a large proportion of Democrats and black voters that went
heavily for Biden.
The counties help hand
Biden his 20,000 vote victory in the state.
Notably, the suit
seeks to toss absentee ballots in these two Democratic counties – but not in
counties that Trump and Pence carried.
The suit comes after
Trump allies suffered blistering opinions in two other courts earlier Monday.
Former Trump campaign
lawyer Sidney Powell and her allies lost in Michigan just after 9 am and
Georgia just before midday, with two different federal judges attacking the
cases on broad fronts and saying that they did not have 'standing' - the legal
ability to be brought in the first place - but that if they did they would fail
anyway.
"They want this
court to substitute its judgment for two and a half million voters who voted
for Joe Biden. And this I am unwilling to do," said Judge Timothy Batten,
a George W. Bush appointee, in a ruling from the bench dismissing a suit there.
Biden won the state by
nearly 12,000 votes in a count the state-certified again Monday after a second
recount.
