The Republicans who attempted to cast Wisconsin's electoral ballots for Donald Trump in 2020 are being sued by plaintiffs who allege they engaged in a conspiracy after Joe Biden won the battleground state
filed in Dane County Circuit Court alleges a conspiracy by Trump and his allies to overturn his loss in the presidential race, calling it"as legally baseless as it was repugnant to democracy." It seeks up to $2.4 million in damages as well as disqualifying the Republicans from ever serving as electors again.
Republican electors named in the lawsuit who have spoken publicly about what they did have long argued that they weren’t trying to change the Wisconsin result. Instead, they said, they were trying to preserve all their legal options in case a court ruled in favor of Trump. In that memo, Chesebro wrote that “It may seem odd that the electors pledged to Trump and Pence might meet and cast their votes” but a fair reading of federal law"suggests that this is a reasonable course of action.”
