MADISON - No, "so many illegal votes" were not cast in Wisconsin.
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday repeated a number of false election claims he invented in 2020 in an effort to retain power despite losing reelection to current President Joe Biden.

Key to Trump's baseless argument is Wisconsin, where voters delivered Biden a victory by about 21,000 votes after electing Trump by a similar margin just four years earlier.

Trump has sought to undermine the 2020 outcome in Wisconsin by pushing factually deficient conspiracy theories and claims about the presidential contest despite its outcome being confirmed by recounts he paid for, court rulings, a nonpartisan state audit and a study by a prominent conservative group.
Trump has also used a July Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling declaring ballot drop boxes illegal to light a fire under his campaign to persuade voters to believe he did not lose his reelection bid two years ago. Ballot drop boxes have been used in Wisconsin for years, especially during the first two years of the coronavirus pandemic. They have been most prevalent in the state's largest cities, including Milwaukee.
