Republicans will 'never lose another election' in the state if he gets voted into office

Wisconsin GOP candidate Tim Michels said Republicans would never lose a race in the state should he become governor, concerning opponents that he would take steps to alter election results once in office.

American Bridge 21st Century, a left-leaning political action committee, released an audio clip Monday of Michels recorded during a campaign event in Jackson County, Wisconsin. Michels is running for governor against Democratic incumbent Governor Tony Evers.

"Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I'm elected governor," Michels, who co-owns the state's largest construction company, can be heard saying

WI legislative and congressional districts are heavily gerrymandered to favor the GOP. And the state Supreme Court tilts right. Once statewide offices are in firm GOP control (god forbid), election police can determine who holds office, regardless of actual election results. Once again, when authoritarians tell you in plain language what they intend to do, believe them.
