In the Wisconsin case, Trump was suing the state elections commission.
The judge in the case, Brett Ludwig, who was appointed by Trump to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, on Thursday held a hearing where the president's lawyers made their arguments to set aside the result of the state's popular election, which Biden won by more than 20,000 votes.
But Ludwig wrote that Trump "has not proved that defendants violated his rights under the Electors Clause."
"To the contrary, the record shows Wisconsin's Presidential Electors are being determined in the very manner directed by the Legislature, as required by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution," the judge said.

"This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits," the judge wrote.
"In his reply brief, plaintiff 'asks that the Rule of Law be followed' .... It has been," the judge continued.
Ludwig dismissed the lawsuit "with prejudice," underscoring his belief that Trump had no valid claim.
