Republicans eating their own
Republican Wisconsin elections panel member resigns, says Trump lostA Republican member of the Wisconsin Elections Commission announced his resignation on Wednesday, saying he could no longer effectively serve the party because he believes former President Trump lost the 2020 election.
Dean Knudson, who previously chaired the commission after serving three terms in the state legislature, said the state party did not want him to assume the chair position because of his position on the election results. The commission was set to consider its leadership for the next term at Wednesday’s meeting, but the group postponed the vote following Knudson’s resignation.
“I’ll put my conservative record up against anyone in the state of Wisconsin, and yet now I’ve been branded a RINO,” Knudson said.
Commissioners elect officers every two years, with the chair and vice chair positions rotating between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans were poised to retake the chair position for the upcoming term, which includes this year’s midterm elections and the beginning of the 2024 presidential campaign season.
