MADISON – A Wisconsin attorney hired to litigate former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss in the state was one of the first to learn of a scheme to put in place Republican electors in states Trump was trying to overturn election results.

Jim Troupis, a former Dane County Circuit Court judge hired by Trump's campaign to oversee recounts, received a memo on Nov. 18, 2020, outlining the strategy, according to the New York Times. The memo arrived the same day Troupis filed paperwork on behalf of the Trump campaign to begin ballot recounts in the liberal-leaning and populous Dane and Milwaukee counties.

The memo underscores the significance of Jan. 6, 2021, to the Trump campaign's efforts to overturn a loss confirmed by courts and recounts — a date thousands converged on the U.S. Capitol to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's victory, resulting in violence and death.

The memo to Troupis came from Boston-area attorney Kenneth Chesebro with the subject line "The Real Deadline for Settling a State’s Electoral Vote."

It outlined Chesebro's legal analysis backing up his suggestion during a conference call with Troupis that "in any judicial review of the canvassing/recounting in Wisconsin, we should emphasize that the presidential election timetable affords ample time for judicial proceedings, even if initial errors in the recount require a remand for further recounting."
