.@realDonaldTrump has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take his appeal over judge's ruling today against his lawsuit seeking seeking to overturn Wisconsin's election results

The court previously refused to take the case before it was first heard in circuit court
@realDonaldTrump Trump also filed an appeal in state appeals court

So the Supreme Court could deny his request or, in light of Monday's Electoral College vote, decide to take the case away from the lower appeals court and decide quickly

The court has yet to respond to Trump's request
@realDonaldTrump Trump asks for final resolution of the case not before Monday, when the Electoral College votes, but before Jan. 6, the date that Congress meets to accept the electoral votes cast by the states
@realDonaldTrump Trump's reasoning for why a ruling would be OK after the Electoral College votes on Monday but before Congress counts the votes
@realDonaldTrump Trump is asking his electors in Wisconsin to cast their ballots for him on Monday and send to Congress just in case a court rules that he won Wisconsin
@realDonaldTrump The Wisconsin Supreme Court says it will take the Trump case and schedules oral arguments for 12 noon on Saturday

The arguments will be streamed live on @WisconsinEye
The highly unusual, and perhaps unprecedented arguments, will come exactly 48 hours before Biden electors are scheduled to meet in the state Capitol and cast their 10 Electoral College votes for Biden, who defeated Trump by nearly 21,000 votes in Wisconsin
