The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin challenging the validity of over 220,000 ballots.

The campaign is challenging the ballots along four bases. From the court filing:

While there was a pattern of activities improperly undertaken that affected the Election, four stand out: (1) a total of at least 170,140 absentee ballots were improperly counted as they were issued without the elector having first submitted a written application as expressly required by Wis. Stat. § 6.86(1)(ar);

(2) no less than 5,517absentee ballots were improperly counted as the certifications were, when received by the clerks’ offices, incomplete and, as to a substantial proportion, the clerks’ offices subsequently altered the certifications by inserting missing information;

(3) 28,395 absentee ballots were counted that were improperly cast by individuals claiming Indefinite Confinement status even as there was “reliable information that [the]… elector no longer qualifies for the service.” Wis. Stat. 6.86(2);

and (4) 17,271 absentee ballots were improperly cast or received at “Democracy in the Park” events.

In total 221,323 votes would be affected. Less than 21,000 votes currently separate Mr. Trump and Joe Biden in the state’s vote count.

“During the recount in Dane and Milwaukee counties, we know with absolute certainty illegal ballots have unduly influenced the state’s election results…We will continue fighting on behalf of the American people to defend their right to a free and fair election by helping to restore integrity and transparency in our elections,” said Jim Troupis, a Trump campaign attorney.
