威斯康星州最高法院拒绝审理特朗普选举诉讼案

大选后，特朗普曾要求威斯康星州最高法院取消该州两个最大的民主党县的22.1万多张选票的资格，称缺席投票的管理方式存在违规行为。

周四，该州最高法院拒绝了特朗普的要求，称该案必须先在下级法院开始审理。

特朗普曾希望保守派控制的威斯康星州最高法院直接受理此案，因为12月14日的总统选举人投票日期即将临近，已经没有足够的时间先从下级法院开始发动法律战了。但州长Tony Evers和州司法部的律师认为，法律明确要求诉讼必须从下级法院开始。

目前还不知道特朗普是否仍会通过下级法院进行诉讼。他的竞选发言人没有立即就此事置评。

这场法律上的失败意味着特朗普在大选后一连串诉讼中再一次失败，多个战地州的法官已经驳回了他对选票欺诈或违规行为的指控。

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, saying the case must first wind its way through lower courts.

Trump had asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in the state’s two biggest Democratic counties, alleging irregularities in the way absentee ballots were administered. His lawsuit echoed claims that were earlier rejected by election officials in those counties during a recount that barely affected Biden’s winning margin of about 20,700 votes.

Trump had wanted the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, saying there wasn’t enough time to wage the legal battle by starting first with a lower court given the looming Dec. 14 date when presidential electors cast their votes. But attorneys for Gov. Tony Evers and the state Department of Justice argued the law required the lawsuit to start with lower courts.

The legal defeat was the latest in a string of losses for Trump’s post-election lawsuits. Judges in multiple battleground states have rejected his claims of fraud or irregularities.  source
