On Tues­day, Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump and his cam­paign filed an explo­sive law­suit claim­ing that Wis­con­sin offi­cials includ­ed 221,323 ille­gal votes in the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion recount and ask­ing the Wis­con­sin Supreme Court to order Gov. Tony Evers (D‑Wisc.) to rescind cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of the state’s elec­tion results until any ille­gal votes can be exclud­ed from the count.

“The peo­ple of Wis­con­sin deserve elec­tion process­es with uni­form enforce­ment of the law, plain and sim­ple. Dur­ing the recount in Dane and Mil­wau­kee coun­ties, we know with absolute cer­tain­ty ille­gal bal­lots have undu­ly influ­enced the state’s elec­tion results,” Jim Troupis, a Trump cam­paign lawyer, said in a state­ment. “Wis­con­sin can­not allow the over three mil­lion legal bal­lots to be erod­ed by even a sin­gle ille­gal ballot.”
