(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign filed a petition on Tuesday challenging Wisconsin's presidential vote results with the state's supreme court, the latest in a series of so-far unsuccessful attempts to reverse Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the Nov 3 election.
The petition was submitted as Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Tuesday that the Justice Department found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
The Republican's campaign and his supporters' efforts have sputtered in challenges to Biden victories in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada, even with a judiciary reshaped by the president.
The petition alleges that Wisconsin election officials were directed to fill in missing information on ballot envelopes, issued absentee ballots without receiving applications and allowed people to improperly claim a "confined" absentee voting status. The petition takes issue with election officials in Madison hosting an event where officials collected and checked ballots in city parks, not polling stations.
On Monday, Wisconsin certified Biden as winner of the state. The campaign is seeking withdrawal of that certification. Election law experts said the case might have better chances than other recent lawsuits but the court is highly unlikely to grant the campaign's request to invalidate 221,323 absentee ballots. Biden won Wisconsin by about 20,000 votes.
