MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal judge Thursday cast doubt on President Donald Trump’s lawsuit that seeks to overturn Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin, declaring it “incredible” that Trump didn’t raise the issues before the election and that siding with him would be “the most remarkable ruling in the history of this court or the federal judiciary.”
Trump is pursuing extraordinary attempts to overturn Biden’s win with a pair of lawsuits in Wisconsin, in federal and state courts. In the state case, Trump wants to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots and in the federal case he wants to give the GOP-controlled Legislature the power to name Trump the winner.

“The Constitution provides that state legislatures — not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials — bear primary responsibility for setting election rules,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion.
So, the lawsuit is too late even though those 221.000 ballots violated Wisconsin’s existing legal standards for mail-n ballots?
It is not like national vote fraud is a industry that goes for high publicity.
What does timing have to do with it?
Shut your yapper and for God’s sake Follow The Law! judge.
the complaints fall on deaf democrat ears
wheres the evidence to back your concerns?
well, we now have the evidence
they now say if you thought this was a problem why not say so ething sooner
they cannot have it both ways
note they are not concerned that the democrats may have massively cheated and stolen the election
not concerned at all
What? Trump did not raise issues before election? What planet is this guy living on. Trump wouldn't shut up about the mail in ballot mess that was coming before election.
Gorsuch wrote that leaving decisions about how to conduct elections during the pandemic would lead to a “Babel of decrees” and that lawmakers were better positioned to make judgments about what to do.
“Last-minute changes to longstanding election rules risk other problems too, inviting confusion and chaos and eroding public confidence in electoral outcomes,” he wrote. “No one doubts that conducting a national election amid a pandemic poses serious challenges. But none of that means individual judges may improvise with their own election rules in place of those the people’s representatives have adopted.”
In order for the plaintiffs to have a case, they had to have been harmed. They were not harmed prior to the election.
Judge: We don't make rulings on things that haven't happened.
Trump: Judge, there have been massive fraudulent votes in this election.
Judge: You're too late. You should have proved that before the election.
But they mind disqualifying 75,000,000 votes for Trump.
The legislature already has this power. I wish they had used it already.
i’m 100% sure President Trump brought up the problems with mail-in voting
as for the machines, those problems have been highlighted for years by other states
of course, regardless of all that... cheating is still cheating.
I’ve known this many times but judges for some reason don’t. To win a civil lawsuit, one must prove one was harmed. Trump couldn’t sue before the election because he has no proof that he was harmed. He could only present theoretical arguments.
Trump: I think there’s going to be massive fraud in the upcoming election judge.
Judge: We don’t make rulings on things that haven’t happened.
Trump: Judge, there have been massive fraudulent votes in this election.
Judge: You’re too late. You should have proved that before the election.
As Yosarrian said...”Some Catch, That Catch 22”....
Well, how would Trump have known, prior to the election, the extent of shady, if not illegal, activities in which the Democrat run localities would engage?
Is this one of those ignorant racist Odungo judges? His stupidity level is incredible. How could a lawsuit decrying fraudulent practices in voting be filed before the crime was committed? “Judge, arrest that man over there. He’s gonna rob my neighbor next week!”
Bump!
He couldn’t sue them before the vote and said it was going to be a disaster leading up to it. What was he supposed to do?
I’m guessing this same judge would have thrown out the case before the election too because there was no standing and you can’t file a lawsuit in anticipation of a crime happening. Maybe a cease and desist order or something like that, but I’m sure it would have been thrown out anyway. Alito already made an opinion on this before the election anyway, so I think there may be some kind of legal precedent set already. It’s getting fun to watch.
