Wisconsin count continues - for now, but may be put on hold due to Repub intervention.

However, on December 2, according to the Wisconsin State Journal, a group of Donald Trump supporters asked a federal judge to stop the recount, saying it violates equal protection clauses because the state doesn’t have uniform standards for recounts and could miss the December 13 federal deadline for completing election results because of it. The recount is continuing on day 2 until a judge rules otherwise, though.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker also said he would contemplate a state law change to make it harder to see recounts.

wonder if they cited it in their filing?

Let's see just how much of a backbone this court has in allowing that case to be cited.
