Trump's Wisconsin lawsuits are flaming out but the effects may linger

[TexasTowelie]

A flurry of lawsuits from the campaign of President Donald Trump and his allies have been filed in state and federal courts in Wisconsin. These lawsuits aim to throw out thousands of Democratic votes, overturn the election and kick the allocation of the state’s ten electoral votes to the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Some of the lawsuits aim at technicalities to target absentee ballots and the votes of indefinitely confined voters while others perpetuate lies and conspiracy theories that have been spread across the country by the president and his allies.
