A Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate is running on a platform to decertify the 2020 statewide presidential results

excerpt:

"A Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate is running on a platform to decertify the state's 2020 presidential election results — an effort that isn't rooted in state or federal law — in a drive to oust now-President Joe Biden from the White House and reinstall former President Donald Trump to the Oval Office.

State Rep. Timothy Ramthun shook up the Republican primary with his proposal after jumping into the gubernatorial contest earlier this month — and stands firmly behind his questioning of the 2020 presidential results.

"This is a real issue," he told The New York Times in a recent interview. "We don't wear tinfoil hats. We're not fringe.""

 

How to stop Trump from stealing the election next time

excerpts:

1) Stop hardcore election deniers from winning key state offices

Much of Trump’s efforts focused on trying to get state officials to change the results of states Biden won. He tried to get state election officers like Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) and governors like Brian Kemp (R-GA) not to certify those results (which is usually a pro forma action), and to get state legislators to replace Biden’s electors with Trump electors. Then, he moved on to trying to change the results in Congress under the Electoral Count Act by pushing to get either Vice President Mike Pence or congressional majorities to reject key states’ elector slates.

2) Protect state election officials from political interference

Congressional Democrats’ big election reform bill, the For the People Act, initially focused on measures like expanding voting access and banning gerrymandering rather than responding to the specific threat of a stolen election that arose in 2020 (because the bill was largely written years earlier). But their revised version, the Freedom to Vote Act, does contain some provisions that try to address the state-level concerns.

3) Prevent Congress or the vice president from stealing the election

When Trump’s pressure to get states to overturn the results failed, he turned to Congress and to Vice President Mike Pence. According to a law known as the Electoral Count Act, Congress can toss out state presidential election results if a majority of both chambers votes to do so. Meanwhile, the vice president presides over the count, and Trump embraced the fanciful theory that Mike Pence could unilaterally reject the electoral votes of disputed states, heavily pressuring him to do so. (Pence refused.)

4) Work to deter mob violence

The other feature of the 2020 election chaos was, of course, the violent mob bursting into the Capitol and interfering with the count of the electoral votes. It is difficult to solve the root causes here — Trump has the power to whip his base into a frenzy with “stolen election” lies again if he so chooses.

5) Try to avert a repeat Trump nomination

Finally, there’s the man himself. The chaos from November 2020 to January 2021 was clearly shaped by Trump’s personal traits and whims. His personal disrespect for elite norms and predilection for conspiracy theories drove him further than previous presidential nominees in disputing a close election he had lost. He also has a personality cult-style following including much of the Republican base and the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6.

 

Tim Scott, only Black Senate Republican, hints he could be Trump running mate

excerpt:

"The only Black Republican in the Senate, Tim Scott of South Carolina, has indicated a willingness to be Donald Trump’s running mate should the former president mount another White House campaign.

Asked by Fox News if he would consider joining a Trump ticket in 2024, Scott said: “Everybody wants to be on President Trump’s bandwagon, without any question.”

The remark prompted criticism, in light of Trump’s long history of incendiary rhetoric on race.

Mehdi Hasan, an MSNBC host, listed some examples when he wrote: “Shithole countries, go back to where you came from, very fine people, white people don’t get vaccines, stand back and stand by … none of it matters to Tim Scott.”

Scott, 56, is widely seen as a contender for the Republican nomination itself, though most observers think it remains Trump’s for the taking.

The former president is free to run after Republicans, including Scott, voted to acquit in his second impeachment trial, for inciting the deadly Capitol attack.

Tensions between the party establishment and Trump supporters have increased, particularly after the Republican National Committee called Trump’s lie about election fraud and the attack on Congress it fueled “legitimate political discourse”."

 

Fringe Scheme to Reverse 2020 Election Splits Wisconsin G.O.P.

excerpt:

"MADISON, Wis. — First, Wisconsin Republicans ordered an audit of the 2020 election. Then they passed a raft of new restrictions on voting. And in June, they authorized the nation’s only special counsel investigation into 2020.

Now, more than 15 months after former President Donald J. Trump lost the state by 20,682 votes, an increasingly vocal segment of the Republican Party is getting behind a new scheme: decertifying the results of the 2020 presidential election in hopes of reinstalling Mr. Trump in the White House.

Wisconsin is closer to the next federal election than the last, but the Republican effort to overturn the election results here is picking up steam rather than fading away — and spiraling further from reality as it goes. The latest turn, which has been fueled by Mr. Trump, bogus legal theories and a new candidate for governor, is creating chaos in the Republican Party and threatening to undermine its push to win the contests this year for governor and the Senate.

The situation in Wisconsin may be the most striking example of the struggle by Republican leaders to hold together their party when many of its most animated voters simply will not accept the reality of Mr. Trump’s loss."

 

Florida governor: school districts that defied no-mask mandate to lose $200m

excerpt:

"Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, is backing a controversial proposal to strip $200m in education funding from Democratic counties that defied his executive order last year banning mask mandates in schools.

DeSantis, who is widely seen as a leading heir to Donald Trump in the Republican party, plans to send the money instead to mostly Republican counties that supported him.

The plan, which some analysts believe is almost certainly unconstitutional, was part of a budget bill that passed the Republican-dominated Florida house on Wednesday.

It was immediately attacked by teachers unions, school districts and education advocates, who say the penalties will strip further resources from classrooms in a state already in the bottom four of per-student spending nationally.

“This is retaliation by legislators and the governor,” said Jabari Hosey, president of the advocacy group Families for Safe Schools and a parent of school-age children in Brevard county.

“We are down over 150 teachers in Brevard right now. We need more social workers, there’s a performance gap because of Covid that is still present in our community. We need more funds, more opportunities, more instructors.

“To retaliate and to attack the public school system they are supposed to be promoting is very sad. Frankly, it’s embarrassing.”"

This is proof Republicans are outright nuts.

Trump's "days are numbered"—Kirschner predicts ex-president to be indicted

excerpt:

"Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner predicted that former President Donald Trump "will be indicted," asserting that his "days are numbered."

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last Thursday that Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, must comply with subpoenas and answer questions under oath as part of an investigation led by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Kirschner on Saturday uploaded a short video to Twitter, overviewing that decision and providing his analysis of the situation.

"Donald Trump will be indicted," Kirschner asserted. "I'm not sure which jurisdiction will indict him first but he will be indicted."

The attorney urged his followers to "hold on tight because there's more to come." Kirschner said that the "investigative circle continues to tighten around Donald Trump," arguing that Trump's "days are numbered.""

 

Trump's "days are numbered"—Kirschner predicts ex-president to be indicted

excerpt:

"If Trump takes the Fifth, it can be used against him in the civil case being developed by the New York Attorney General," former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti tweeted. "If Trump doesn't take the Fifth, the Manhattan DA can use his words against him. He's between a rock and a hard place."

 

Lindell urges Raffensperger "be put in prison," delivers audit affidavits

excerpt:

"There's over 40,000—it's almost 50,000 of these affidavits and things that we have here that we're going to get into this Capitol," Lindell told Bannon. The pro-Trump businessman also said he believed Georgia's Republican leaders could be meeting with Raffensperger as he and his supporters arrived at the Capitol.

"I think they're meeting with Brad Raffensperger to figure out how to keep covering up the biggest crime in history," said Lindell, who is often called a conspiracy theorist. "You know, in Georgia here, Brad Raffensperger is probably, you know me, melt down the machines and put him behind bars."

Nearly a year and four months after the 2020 election, Trump's people are still claiming he will be reinstated.

 

WOW!
