Not only did the attempt lose but the judge told them off.
A lawsuit filed by Donald Trump’s campaign to throw out more than 221,000 votes in the state of Wisconsin “smacks of racism”, a Wisconsin Supreme Court judge said on Saturday.
Justice Karofsky’s biting condemnation came after Trump lawyer Jim Troupis made his arguments in the case, the most recent in a string of long-shot attempts by Trump’s team to overturn the US presidential election results.
“This lawsuit, Mr Troupis, smacks of racism,” Karofsky said of the case, which seeks to throw out an array of mail-in ballots cast in Dane and Milwaukee Counties, areas that contain the largest minority populations in the state.
“I do not know how you can come before this court and possibly ask for a remedy that is unheard of in US history,” Karofsky added. “It is not normal.”
