ACS Wisconsin: Litigation Over Wisconsin’s Spring 2020 Election


While many of the significant legal questions concerning Wisconsin’s Spring 2020 elections were ultimately resolved by conservative majorities on both the Wisconsin and United States Supreme Courts, the litigation surrounding election administration in Wisconsin began weeks before April 7, 2020—and some of it continues.
