President Donald Trump's campaign says he has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's election results.
Trump has filed the lawsuit in the Eastern District, according to court records.
The lawsuit is filed against Gov. Tony Evers, state and local election officials, mayors of five liberal-leaning Wisconsin cities, and Secretary of State Doug La Follette (who, unlike other states, does not oversee elections in Wisconsin).
The lawsuit alleges "The Anticipated Competitiveness of the 2020 Presidential Election in Wisconsin
Made it A Potential Target for Fraud"
Made it A Potential Target for Fraud"
The lawsuit argues election officials should have abided by the Wisconsin state Legislature's "express policy disfavoring mail-in balloting."
The lawsuit argues, in part, Wisconsin election officials broke state law by making available unmanned drop boxes for absentee ballots.
"While ... public officials working in cities and towns across WI are dedicated and selfless, it should not be a moment of pride that the Wisconsin Elections Commission offered so little guidance that absentee ballots could be intermingled with library books and utility bills"
The suit is filed against five of the six Wisconsin Elections Commission members. The lawsuit does not explain why the sixth member is not named as a defendant.
Trump's lawsuit also argues voting absentee by mail discriminates against voters who do not disabilities.
