WI GOP Leader Calls For Decertifying 2020 Election

The Washington Post reports:

The leader of the Wisconsin Assembly’s elections committee called Friday for invalidating President Biden’s 2020 election victory in the state — an idea that constitutional scholars and Republican legislative leaders have called legally impossible.

“Fair and honest elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and we know that the 2020 presidential election was neither fair, nor transparent,” state Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R) said in a news release. “Tyranny is at Wisconsin’s door.”

Brandtjen said she planned to sign onto a resolution led by state Rep. Tim Ramthun (R) to decertify the election, making her the first fellow lawmaker to join his cause. Ramthun is running a long-shot bid for governor on a decertification platform.
