UPDATE: On Nov. 16, 2020, three Wisconsin voters who alleged election fraud voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit they lodged against officials in three heavily Democratic counties.
A trio of Wisconsin voters reportedly want election results from heavily Democratic counties in the states tossed due to allegations of voter fraud.
Lead plaintiffs Michael Langenhorst, Michael D. LeMay and Stephen Fifrick claim their votes were “diluted” by illegal absentee ballots. As a result, their fundamental right to vote was violated, they say.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs “possess advanced technical capability” that allows them to identify instances of voter fraud and, if the court allows them access to voter registration and election information, they could present an analysis.
In addition to the release of voter information, the lawsuit is seeking a court order that would invalidate election results in counties with “sufficient illegal ballots” that put the results “in doubt.”
The lawsuit names election officials in Menominee, Dane and Milwaukee counties, as well as state election officials and Gov. Tony Evers as defendants. The plaintiffs seek to invalidate the election results in those counties, which would result in Trump winning the state.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the plaintiffs are from Door, Brown and Oconto counties.
The Wisconsin voters claim in this lawsuit that the unprecedented use of mail-in ballots for the 2020 election resulted in voter fraud that skewed the election.
According to the complaint, the Supreme Court has already ruled voter fraud occurs more often when voters use mail-in ballots.
“Wisconsin has a history of voter fraud claims,” the lawsuit alleges. “Since 2016, when records of such instances were first required to be reported to the state Legislature, Wisconsin has had 238 reported cases of possible voter fraud.”
The plaintiffs point to concerns they have about how mail-in ballots were handled by Wisconsin election officials, including relaxing the requirement that those who vote by mail provide photo identification, as well as witness signature and address requirements. The complaint also notes concerns about how election officials “cured” ballots that did not strictly meet voting regulations.
“Election workers, overwhelmed by the sudden flood of mailed ballots, have less ability to carefully review them to screen out fraudulent ones, creating a substantial risk that fraudulent votes will be counted and vote-dilution disenfranchisement will occur,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit also asserts the plaintiffs can provide evidence that would change the state’s election results.
This evidence, according to the complaint, “will be in the form of expert reports based on data analysis comparing state mail-in/absentee, provisional, and poll-book records with state voter-registration databases, United States Postal Service (‘USPS’) records, Social Security records, criminal-justice records, department-of-motor-vehicle records, and other governmental and commercial sources by using sophisticated and groundbreaking programs to determine the extent of illegal voters and illegal votes, including double votes, votes by ineligible voters, votes by phantom (fictitious) voters, felon votes (where illegal), non-citizen votes, illegal ballot harvesting, and pattern recognition to identify broader underlying subversion of the election results.”
This lawsuit is one of several legal actions being taken to challenge the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
“Trump continues to file frivolous lawsuits throughout the country to disenfranchise millions of American citizens,” a Wisconsin election attorney told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Trump’s lawsuits are not based upon law, facts or reality, which is why courts throughout the country have summarily and at times angrily dismissed his cases.”
According to official results, Democratic candidate Joe Biden won Wisconsin by a margin of approximately 20,000 votes, with the most populous counties heavily favoring Biden.
The Wisconsin voters’ lawsuit is seeking to exclude the results of the election in three counties, alleging that including the results would dilute the plaintiffs’ votes, violating their First and 14th amendment rights.
“If Defendants certify presidential-election results from counties where sufficient illegal ballots were included in the results to change or place in doubt the November 3 presidential-election result, Voters’ valid, legal votes will be unconstitutionally diluted by illegal votes,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit is seeking a court order declaring that supposedly illegal votes from Menominee, Dane and Milwaukee counties render the election results from those areas illegal. Additionally, the plaintiffs say efforts by election officials to certify those results should be halted as well.

One thought on Three Wisconsin Voters Suing to Have Democratic Counties’ Election Results Tossed
There is a federal law authorizing absentee voting, and has 3 or 4 conditions for it’s use, but, where is the law for mail-in voting? There has been a tendancy to swap the designations of mail-in and absentee,both totally different. And, judges making decisions on mail-in voting is based on what? Are judges assuming legislative powers?
