Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court last week to order that he be listed on the state’s presidential primary ballot following his exclusion by election officials.

But those officials are now urging the court to decline the case, holding that the congressman’s “eleventh hour” request comes too late and that he failed to follow the statutory process for challenging their decision.
