US Senator Ron Johnson is continuing to push for investigations into the November presidential election, even as most of the nation prepares for President-elect Joe Biden to take office in January.

On Fox News on Wednesday, Johnson brought up the idea during an interview about the stimulus vote. 

“I personally think we do have to take a look at what happened in the election. We can’t just forget it and move on like Democrats want us to. We need to seriously consider what fraud did occur. The other types of… lack of transparency, the problems that we did have, the irregularities in this election need to be examined and they need to be corrected for the next election.”

Those claims of fraud and misconduct have consistently fallen short in court, and the Trump Campaign has lost nearly every single legal challenge it’s brought forward. 

The campaign is pushing to bring a failed federal court challenge in Wisconsin to the US Supreme Court.

It’s yet another legal defeat for the Trump Campaign in their efforts to overturn the results of the Wisconsin presidential election.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously on Thursday that the Trump Campaign waited too long to complain about how the election was handled, and that their reasons for objecting were faulty.

The Campaign was trying to argue that the Elections Commission should not have allowed local clerks to complete address fields on absentee ballots, and that drop boxes were an illegal way to collect ballots.

The court stated that if the campaign wanted to complain about those decisions, they should have done so before the election.

The State Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could define how police are allowed to search and use cell phones as part of their investigations.

George Burch was convicted in 2018 in the murder of Nichole VanderHeyden in Green Bay. Police caught Burch by connecting him to the case with the use of cell phone data that they had gathered from him while downloading his text messages several months before in an unrelated case.

At issue is whether or not police should have retained that phone data past the point of the previous investigation. There’s also a discussion to what extent police can actually search your phone when you give consent to only parts of the data on the device.

Another court has tossed out a legal challenge to the state’s election, and Senator Tammy Baldwin says she’s not surprised.

Baldwin says Wisconsin conducted fair elections, and that was verified by both canvassing and the recount.

“Very few votes were changed by those processes, so we know that our municipal clerks do a very good job of conducting fair and transparent elections.”

Baldwin says that Wisconsin residents went above and beyond to make sure that they were voting safely and legally through absentee voting.

“We saw in the state of Wisconsin record turnout we saw people endeavoring to vote safely during a pandemic.”

She says that clerks went above and beyond to handle the election in a safe and transparent process, extending to both the canvassing process and the recounts in Dane and Milwaukee Counties.

A lawsuit filed by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell was dismissed on Wednesday by federal judge Pamela Pepper. Three other lawsuits have also been dismissed by the State Supreme Court.

One of several lawsuits against the election filed by a former Trump attorney has been tossed out of a federal court in Wisconsin.

That lawsuit, one of the so-called ‘Kraken’ cases filed by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, was dismissed on Wednesday by federal judge Pamela Pepper.

In her order, Judge Pepper called the lawsuit “an extraordinary intrusion on state sovereignty from which a federal court should abstain.”. Judge Pepper further wondered why the private citizen Powell was representing even thought that they had standing to file the case, given that they were not a candidate in the election.

That loss to the Trump campaign follows three other losses at the State Supreme Court.

Senator Tammy Baldwin is calling on the FBI and Homeland Security to lay out the dangers of the Q-Anon movement as domestic terrorism.

Senator Baldwin joins other Democrats in asking for more information and more study into the movement. 

“Qanon conspiracy theories have inspired acts of domestic extremism and violence and there’s a very real concern that this has grown into an ideology that is radicalizing individuals to violence.”

QAnon conspiracy theories have inspired acts of violence and tried to undermine our democratic institutions. It’s dangerous, and the FBI & DHS must provide a clear and public assessment of the threat posed by QAnon both in the U.S. and abroad. https://t.co/TdG862gzbO

Baldwin wants FBI Director Christopher Wray and DHS to also investigate possible ties to Russian influence in the organization dating back to 2017.

The House of Representatives has already passed a measure denouncing the movement, and Baldwin wants to make sure that federal agencies and law enforcement are giving Qanon the proper attention.
