Election conspiracies
are back
and Donald Trump
and some of his supporters
are still trying to
cast doubt on the validity
of the 2020 election.
in Wisconsin.
It was the
state Supreme Court
that ended
Trump's attempts to overturn
the 2020 election
in the case called
'Trump v. Biden.'
I'm Here & Now
senior political reporter
Zac Schultz.
'Trump v. Biden' was
Trump's effort to throw out
220,000 votes
in Dane and Milwaukee counties.
In a 4-3 decision
it was conservative
Justice Brian Hagedorn
who sided
with the three liberals
not to take the case
saying Trump didn't
have standing to sue.
The three other conservatives
didn't say if they would have
thrown out those votes
but would have
allowed the case
to go forward.
We asked the two candidates
for this April's
Supreme Court election how
they would have
decided the case.
The liberal candidate
Judge Chris Taylor
would have agreed
with the majority
and thrown out the lawsuit.
The conservative candidate
Judge Maria Lazar
wouldn't say how
she would have decided
saying the issue of standing
in election lawsuits
meaning whether someone
has the right to sue
is still up in the air
and likely to come
before the court again.
