Federal Judge Brett Ludwig struck down a case brought by the Trump campaign alleging voter fraud in Wisconsin yesterday.
The President’s legal team argued that by fundamentally changing the manner in which elections were conducted, the Wisconsin Elections Commission usurped the Constitutional authority of the Wisconsin State Legislature to decide how electors in the Electoral College were chosen.
Ludwig ruled that the word “manner” in the Electors Clause of the Constitution signifies only “method,” and the WEC honored the method electors in the state are to be chosen: by “general ballot at the general election.”
Ludwig did not address the larger allegation of the lawsuit however: that the significant expansion of absentee voting, for example, led to fraudulent votes being cast, which caused the electors not to be chosen by “general ballot at the general election,” but rather by those who were in control of creating and, more importantly, tallying the fake ballots.
