1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,068
Election conspiracies

2
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:02,035
are back

3
00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:02,836
and Donald Trump

4
00:00:02,903 --> 00:00:03,971
and some of his supporters

5
00:00:04,037 --> 00:00:04,705
are still trying to

6
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:06,240
cast doubt on the validity

7
00:00:06,306 --> 00:00:07,474
of the 2020 election.

8
00:00:07,541 --> 00:00:08,675
in Wisconsin.

9
00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:09,276
It was the

10
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:10,344
state Supreme Court

11
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:11,078
that ended

12
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:12,446
Trump's attempts to overturn

13
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:13,814
the 2020 election

14
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:14,715
in the case called

15
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:16,049
'Trump v. Biden.'

16
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:16,917
I'm Here & Now

17
00:00:16,984 --> 00:00:18,018
senior political reporter

18
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:19,052
Zac Schultz.

19
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:20,187
'Trump v. Biden' was

20
00:00:20,254 --> 00:00:21,388
Trump's effort to throw out

21
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:23,223
220,000 votes

22
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:25,259
in Dane and Milwaukee counties.

23
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:26,727
In a 4-3 decision

24
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:28,228
it was conservative

25
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:29,429
Justice Brian Hagedorn

26
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:30,097
who sided

27
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:31,198
with the three liberals

28
00:00:31,265 --> 00:00:32,633
not to take the case

29
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:33,567
saying Trump didn't

30
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:35,502
have standing to sue.

31
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:36,770
The three other conservatives

32
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:37,738
didn't say if they would have

33
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:39,139
thrown out those votes

34
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:39,673
but would have

35
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:40,307
allowed the case

36
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:41,508
to go forward.

37
00:00:41,575 --> 00:00:42,943
We asked the two candidates

38
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:43,677
for this April's

39
00:00:43,744 --> 00:00:45,112
Supreme Court election how

40
00:00:45,179 --> 00:00:45,646
they would have

41
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:46,880
decided the case.

42
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:47,981
The liberal candidate

43
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:49,249
Judge Chris Taylor

44
00:00:49,316 --> 00:00:49,917
would have agreed

45
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:50,684
with the majority

46
00:00:50,751 --> 00:00:52,319
and thrown out the lawsuit.

47
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:53,554
The conservative candidate

48
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:54,955
Judge Maria Lazar

49
00:00:55,022 --> 00:00:55,856
wouldn't say how

50
00:00:55,923 --> 00:00:57,057
she would have decided

51
00:00:57,124 --> 00:00:58,725
saying the issue of standing

52
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:00,060
in election lawsuits

53
00:01:00,127 --> 00:01:01,195
meaning whether someone

54
00:01:01,261 --> 00:01:02,596
has the right to sue

55
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:03,797
is still up in the air

56
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:04,665
and likely to come

57
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:06,300
before the court again.

58
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:07,234
