(CNN) A Circuit Court judge has denied a lawsuit against Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers to overturn the face mask mandate in the state, according to a court filing obtained by CNN. Three people had sued to challenge the governor's authority to issue the order declaring a public health emergency. In July, Evers issued an emergency order mandating that citizens wear a face covering indoors when not in a private residence, with some exceptions. The order was set to expire September 22 but because of a rise in cases, Evers declared a new public health emergency.
