Republicans like to say that no one cares about Trump's fake elector scheme in a futile effort to overturn the 2020 elections, but three different courts have recently shown that's not the case. In Wisconsin, former Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro sought to prevent statements he had made in other states about the fake elector scheme from being presented at his trial.

Cue the sad trombone music. Also in Wisconsin, also on Thursday, former Trump campaign attorney James Troupis got more bad news. In February, Troupis requested Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Jill Karofsky and Justice Rebecca Dallet recuse themselves from his case because they said mean things about his frivolous lawsuits in 2020 to overturn the election and tossed his petitions. On Thursday, both justices issued identical decisions that there was no basis found in the state constitution, state law, or the judicial ethics code that would preclude them from hearing and ruling on his case. Cue the sad trombone music again.read more
