joining me now is josh kaul, the attorney general of wisconsin, one of the attorneys general who was fighting back against this supreme court move. attorney general kaul, good to see you. many people saw this decision by the supreme court last night, which was even supported by the three trump appointees on the supreme court not to hear this ridiculous texas lawsuit. and have left with the idea that, okay, this is over. the electors get to cast their ballots on monday. is that true of wisconsin? >> it's not quite true yet. thanks for having me. we have a state supreme court argument today that will be the final stage in the trump campaign's challenge to the results in wisconsin. there are some other pending federal lawsuits i should mention, but this is a case that was decided just yesterday by a circuit court judge who rejected the trump team's argument. the state supreme court took that up quickly because the electoral college is meeting soon. i have every confidence that just as courts have consistently done across the country, this challenge is going to be rejected. >> just to bri
