Republicans sue to stop Wisconsin vote certification

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans have filed a lawsuit asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to block certification of the presidential election results.

A recount over President-elect Joe Biden’s win over President Donald Trump is ongoing.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday echoes many of the same arguments Trump is making in trying, unsuccessfully, to have tens of thousands of ballots discounted during the recount.

At least 10 cases have been filed across the country seeking to halt certification in parts of all of key battleground states.

So far none have been successful. Wisconsin’s election results are scheduled to be certified on Dec. 1.
