3. Can someone put the timeline together for me on how this wonderful movement happened?

From what I have read:

1) Trump claims he endorsed a judge and the polls looked good for a win for his pick.

2) Someone in Wisconsin filed suit to try to push the election back because of the coronavirus and because there were problems with the mail-in ballots. People were claiming they weren't receiving them in the mail.

3) Trump claims that the reason the suit was filed was because they were afraid that this pick would win.

4) The conservative led State Supreme Court of Wisconsin ruled that the people had to vote on the scheduled election day for the primary. Trump takes this to mean that they're protecting his pick. Which, would be a logical conclusion because the belief is that most people won't come out to vote.

5) Wisconsinians risk their lives and storm the polls, standing six feet apart in line.

6) The State Supreme court judges vote from mail-in ballot.

7) Trump's pick loses.

Do I have that right?
