"He is lying. He did not win Wisconsin. And he has provided no proof otherwise."

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who’s leading that investigation, called for her to resign in late December. On Sunday, someone leaked a private draft of the legislation she was working on to change election law to the right-wing conspiracy theory website The Gateway Pundit. President Trump went after her the next morning.

“Some RINO Republicans in Wisconsin are working hand in hand with others to have drop boxes again placed in Wisconsin. These fools are playing right into the Democrats’ hand. Drop boxes are only good for Democrats and cheating, not good for Republicans,” he said.

That sent other Republicans scurrying for cover and sniping at each other, with multiple lawmakers disavowing her bill—which she had crafted specifically to respond to GOP concerns and push back at what she thought was overreach by Democrats in expanding ballot access in 2020.

This has all ticked off Bernier, who announced earlier this month that she would retire from office at the end of her term. She told VICE News that she’s “cuss word angry,” seriously thinking about quitting the party and wouldn’t vote for Trump if he’s the 2024 nominee after enthusiastically supporting his last election.

“I just won't vote for him again, and I just hope that the Republicans come out with [Florida Republican Gov.] Ron DeSantis, actually.”

that's how American democracy fails: by selfish cowardice.
