https://www.wpr.org/sites/default/files/20314498782.pdf CONCLUSION
Plaintiffs Electors Clause claims fail as a matter of law and fact. The record establishes that Wisconsins selection of its 2020 Presidential Electors was conducted in the very manner established by the Wisconsin Legislature, y general ballot at the general election. Wis. Stat. §8.25(1). Plaintiffs complaints about defendants administration of the election go to the implementation of the Wisconsin Legislatures chosen manner of appointing Presidential Electors, not to the manner itself. Moreover, even if Manner were stretched to include plaintiffs implementation objections, plaintiff has not shown a significant departure from the Wisconsin Legislatures chosen election scheme.
This is an extraordinary case. 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. In his reply brief, plaintiff asks that the Rule of Law be followed. (Pl. Br., ECF No. 109.) It has been.
