The lawsuit filed last week by three northeastern Wisconsin voters, including Michael Langenhorst of Door County, to stop the certification of the presidential voting results in three Wisconsin counties was dropped on Monday. 

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit that had been filed in U.S. District Court in Green Bay last week.  They had sought to invalidate votes made in Menominee, Milwaukee, and Dane Counties, which voted heavily for President-elect Joe Biden, based on anecdotal evidence. 

The lawsuit alleged that absentee voting is fraught with widespread fraud even though no evidence was presented.  It pointed to the high percentage of absentee vote requests and that liberal counties might have bypassed state law requiring photo ID by declaring voters “indefinitely confined” due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The lawsuit also took issue with county clerks being able to take corrective actions to remedy voter errors like missing information and addresses. 

The other two other plaintiffs in the lawsuit were identified as Michael LeMay of Brown County and Stephen Fifrick of Oconto County. 

Biden was declared the winner of Wisconsin over a week ago by capturing 20,000 more votes than President Donald Trump.
