Dist. Ct. did not err in rejecting plaintiff’s claim against defendants-Wisconsin Elections Commission, Governor, Secretary of State and others, that defendants’ manner of appointment of presidential electors, as well as manner of administration of presidential election, including polling place operations, voting procedures and vote tallying violated Electors Clause of U.S. Constitution. Record showed no violation of Electors Clause, where: (1) Wisconsin expressly assigned to Elections Committee responsibility for administration of Wisconsin election law; and (2) Wisconsin lawfully appointed its electors in manner directed by its Legislature. Moreover, allegations regarding Commission’s exercise of its authority are matters of state law, and plaintiff’s delay in bringing instant action until after election day and after certification of votes precluded him from seeking instant relief at this juncture.
