election resultsTrump on Saturday amplified his unfounded claims and falsehoods about President-elect Joe Bidens victory, lashed out at his attorney general and GOP governors he deemed unfaithful to him, and vowed to continue challenging the election results, despite the Supreme Court dealing a final blow to his brazen legal efforts to overturn the vote.
I WON THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE, but remember, I only think in terms of legal votes, not all of the fake voters and fraud that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace! Trump tweeted shortly after 8 a.m., one in a series of morning posts that Twitter labeled as disputed.
Many of Trumps Republican allies in Congress were unswayed by the Supreme Courts refusal to hear the challenge brought by the Texas attorney general that asked the justices to invalidate millions of ballots cast in four battleground states Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia and toss out Bidens win. The members of Congress accused the Supreme Court of dodging or lacking courage.
Meanwhile Trumps most ardent supporters took to online messaging boards with ominous vows to fight on and suggestions that Trump states secede.

Plaintiffs Electors Clause claims fail as a matter of law and fact. The record establishes that Wisconsins selection of its 2020 Presidential Electors was conducted in the very manner established by the Wisconsin Legislature, by general ballot at the general election. Wis. Stat. §8.25(1). Plaintiffs complaints about defendants administration of the election go to the implementation of the Wisconsin Legislatures chosen manner of appointing Presidential Electors, not to the manner itself.
Moreover, even if Manner were stretched to include plaintiffs implementation objections, plaintiff has not shown a significant departure from the Wisconsin Legislatures chosen election scheme.
This is an extraordinary case. A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred. This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits.
In his reply brief, plaintiff asks that the Rule of Law be followed. (Pl. Br., ECF No. 109.) It has been.
