Wisconsin judge, appointed by Trump, dismisses election lawsuit…
A federal judge in Wisconsin on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump against the state elections commission.
The judge in the case, Brett Ludwig, who was appointed by Trump to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, held a hearing where the president’s lawyers made their arguments to set aside the result of the state’s popular election.
“This is an extraordinary case,” wrote Ludwig in his decision Saturday.
“A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred.”
“This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits,” the judge wrote. In his reply brief, plaintiff ‘asks that the Rule of Law be followed’ …. It has been,” the judge continued.
Ludwig dismissed the lawsuit “with prejudice".
Trump’s lawyers had argued that guidance issued by the Wisconsin Elections Commission related to absentee ballots, “along with election officials’ conduct in reliance on that guidance,” deviated so much from state election law “that the election was itself a ‘failure,’ ” Ludwig wrote.
But Ludwig wrote that Trump “has not proved that defendants violated his rights under the Electors Clause. To the contrary, the record shows Wisconsin’s Presidential Electors are being determined in the very manner directed by the Legislature, as required by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution,” the judge said.
