After spending most of Thursday hearing arguments, Judge
Brett Ludwig must now make a ruling on the merits of
Donald Trump‘s federal challenge to Wisconsin’s election results.
But even when he does, it’s not likely to settle the matter.
“Nobody on this call thinks that my word is the last word on this,” said Ludwig, referencing a possible appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Ludwig, a Trump appointee to Wisconsin’s Eastern District, said his ruling would come in “the next day or two.” And at that point, another Trump challenge in a state court will have had its first hearing. The parties will argue that case on Friday starting at 9:00 a.m. Those results are also expected to be appealed.
