President Trump has filed his own lawsuit challenging the results of the election he lost in Wisconsin. Unlike other cases, this one is brought in his name. 
Trump wants a federal district court to "uphold the exclusive authority of the Wisconsin Legislature," rule that various state laws were violated thereby also violating the U.S. Constitution and "remand this matter to the Wisconsin Legislature." Don't see that often.
This suit is going to run into the same laches problem that has befallen others. Trump is complaining about Wisconsin's expansion of absentee voting, which he says is unlawful. But that happened in March and he waited until after the election and people voted that way to sue.
Trump's suit doesn't allege fraud. It says Wisconsin officials usurped legislative power by expanding mail-in voting, "a recipe for chaos." But it doesn't allege that any of the chaos actually happened. It's a far cry from what Trump and his lawyers are saying publicly.
