Wisconsin GOP leaders again reject resolution to 'pull back' 2020 electoral votes

MADISON – Assembly leaders for the second time have rejected a proposal from a Republican lawmaker to pull back Wisconsin's electoral votes cast in the 2020 election, which is illegal.

Rep. Timothy Ramthun, a Republican from Campbellsport, introduced a resolution during a floor session Tuesday to take the impossible step of retracting the state's 10 electoral votes cast for President Joe Biden in 2021.

Assembly leaders referred the resolution to a committee used to schedule floor votes for bills, a required action for such proposals under Assembly rules, and the committee chairman quickly said Ramthun's resolution won't be taken up.

"Rep Ramthun just attempted to pass an Assembly resolution to recall WI’s presidential electors. Not only is it illegal, it’s just plain unconstitutional," Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, who leads the committee, said in a tweet. "As chair of the Rules Committee, there is ZERO chance I will advance this illegal resolution. #EndofStory"

1. They'll Keep Trying Until It Sticks

A COUP only has to be successful once.

Eventually they may have enough sycophants to accomplish it. If not in Wisconsin, perhaps some other close state.

5. Yep

And isn't it interesting how Republicans never worry about having to pay a political price for their cynical machinations, but Democrats are constantly being scored (even by putative allies) any time they propose very popular laws or programs designed to make government work better for more people? "Democrats are trying to protect voting rights? This will surely backfire on them, big-time!"
