Republicans in Wisconsin are asking a judge to strike down the state’s presidential elector law, so there won’t be any confusion next week.
The Wisconsin Republican Party filed a lawsuit last Friday, asking a federal judge to invalidate Wisconsin’s presidential elector law. That law says electors must vote on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. This year, that’s next Monday. But the federal presidential elector law says the vote must be on the first Tuesday following the second Wednesday. This year, that’s next Tuesday.
The lawsuit says the discrepancy opens Wisconsin’s electoral vote up to a possible challenge. Wisconsin’s law has been on the books for years, but the federal law was changed back in 2022 to try and speed-up the presidential certification after the January 6th riot.
