Wisconsin was one of several states where the Trump campaign sought recounts, then filed lawsuits attempting to overturn the electoral slate, then attempted to enlist allies in the State Legislature to choose an alternate slate of electors, and finally enlisted allies in Congress to attempt to throw out the state's electoral votes during the January 6, 2021, electoral vote count. These efforts, which culminated in the January 6 riot at the United States Capitol, ultimately failed to overthrow the election results.
