Washington (AP) - The incumbent US President Donald Trump has turned to the Supreme Court again in his anger about the outcome of the election.

Trump has filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court in Washington, with which he wants to achieve that the election in the state of Wisconsin is declared unconstitutional and invalid because of "multiple violations of the law", his campaign team announced on Wednesday (local time).

Trump also wants to ensure that parliament in the state appoints alternative voters.

The votes of the electorate who elect the president on behalf of the people in the USA took place on December 14th in the individual states and confirmed the Democrat Joe Biden as the winner.

The results will be officially read out in the US Congress on Wednesday (January 6).

Trump does not recognize Biden's election victory and portrays himself as a victim of systematic electoral fraud. Neither he nor his lawyers have provided solid evidence for his far-reaching allegations.

Dozens of lawsuits have been thrown out of the courts, including the Supreme Court.
