Langenhorst v. Pecore, No. 1:20-cv-01701 (E.D. Wis.) |
||
| Case Summary | Plaintiffs, Wisconsin voters, stated that Wisconsin had many absentee ballots this year, and such ballots were purportedly conclusively linked to fraud. Plaintiffs further alleged that three deceased individuals voted and that voters who had received absentee ballots voted in person, after election officials tore up their unvetted absentee ballots. Plaintiffs claimed that these alleged practices violate plaintiffs' fundamental right to vote by diluting their votes, and sought to exclude the presidential vote count from these counties from the state's overall total. | |
