MADISON (WKOW) -- A conservative group is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take up a case to throw out the results of Wisconsin's election.

The lawsuit filed by the group Wisconsin Voters Alliance against the Wisconsin Elections Commission also asks the Supreme Court to prevent the W.E.C. from certifying the election so that the Republican-controlled state Legislature could pick the representatives to the Electoral College.

The lawsuit also would require Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, to certify those electors.

Attorneys are asking the court for emergency action to take up the case. The court has ordered the Wisconsin Election's Commission to respond to the request for the Supreme Court to take up the case by 4 p.m Friday.

Short story with no real information except above. The WI SC is filled with Scott Walker appointees.

1. There are some crazies on the Wisconsin SC

But they are not appointed for life and will have to run for reelection, if I'm not mistaken.

Don't think they would dare throw out the entire election.

But we shall see.

2. not going to happen and would be appealed to Federal court 100% to be overturned

3. Even if they won, which they won't, WI's EVs aren't enough to make a difference.

They aren't doing this to win; they're doing it to cast doubt on the process.

6. To cast doubt....and fund-raise.

Midterms aren’t that far away.

4. That'll take about 20 minutes of court time to deny.

5. why dont they just ask the court to assign trump electors directly then?

i mean they are 1 asking to have the votes thrown out 2 to allow the republican legislature to appoint trump electors and 3 to force to governor to sign off on it.

im sure the courts have no authority to force the governor to sign off on any legislative action. separation of powers.

7. This looks very like a BS suit a federal court chucked out in October

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday declined to block more than $6 million in election grant money to five Wisconsin cities that a conservative group argued amounted to bribery designed to increase voter turnout in Democratic strongholds.

U.S. District Judge William Griesbach denied a request from the Wisconsin Voters Alliance and seven of its members, saying he found nothing in the law to prohibit the cities being awarded the money. Absent that prohibition, the court has no power to stop cities from accepting the money and to do so would run afoul of a U.S. Supreme Court admonition not to change electoral rules close to an election, Griesbach said.
...
The $6.3 million in funding was awarded to Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee and Racine.
...
Most of the money for the Center for Tech and Civic Life was donated by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. Earlier this month, they announced they would donate $300 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life and Center for Election Innovation and Research, to benefit local election officials.

8. Of course they want to use the WI SC the repugs spent the Walker years building their own SC.

It's like buying a new car or motorcycle or boat and just leaving it parked in the yard.

They are itching to crank up the new private shiny plaything and take it for a spin.

9. Cry-babies.

Everyone should mail diapers to Robin Vos. (And ask him if his ex-wife is still voting here from her home in Idaho)
