Wisconsin Gov. Calls Trump Election Fraud Lawsuit An Assault

In Wisconsin, Trump wants to skip lower courts, saying in his lawsuit that there isnt time to go through the normal process due to the looming Dec. 14 date when electors will gather to cast the states 10 Electoral College votes.
The state Supreme Court could deny Trumps request to hear the case, forcing it to lower courts, which would effectively kill it. Or it could accept the case and issue a decision later. It could also just render a decision based on written arguments.
Attorneys for Evers, as well as lawyers from the state Department of Justice representing the Wisconsin Elections Commission, urged the court not to accept the original jurisdiction of the case, saying it must start in lower courts.
