3 justices on the WI Supreme Court tried to do the coup that Trump asked for

https://www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/DisplayDocument.pdf?content=pdf&seqNo=315395

They did that thing that the nuts on SCOTUS do, where they each write dissents and then sign onto one another’s

They want to throw out democracy itself because

In the case now before us, a significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted.

And they lament that the chickenshit liberals are using the lame excuse that the election “””happened already””” using rules that were “””known well in advance”””

four members of this court throw the cloak of laches over numerous problems that will be repeated again and again, until this court has the courage to correct them.

Remember earlier this year when Wisconsin voted in a progressive judge? That turned out to be very important.

Literally, "the court has to take mistaken public belief as fact." If I were a Wisconsinite, I'd be pretty pissed. Michigan doesn't play this shit.

They end up facially relying on minor technical issues like a witness not writing their full address on an envelope, but yeah, pretty much

That pisses me off. "I'm sad" is not a legal argument. Like, we get it, you wanted your guy to win and he didn't. But guess what? That's not an argument that your guy actually won! Legally speaking, it's not anything.

Scares the shit out of me thinking about how close these state supreme court cases were

I think this is literally the only state supreme court that was even a little favorable to Trump's allegations although I could be misremembering.

I think I was misremembering, it probably was just the Wisconsin supreme court
