Key Wisconsin Republican wants end to GOP-led election probe

Source: AP




Yesterday 2:57 PM

State Sen. Kathy Bernier, of Lake Hallie, said the investigation led by former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman contains “made-up things” meant to play to the Republican base and she will be on hand when he comes to Chippewa County.

“Mr. Gableman is coming to my county and I will attend that meeting along with my concealed carry permit, to be perfectly honest, because it keeps jazzing up the people who think they know what they’re talking about — and they don’t,” Bernier said.

Bernier spoke at a panel discussion at the state Capitol Monday that included Ben Ginsberg, who spent nearly four decades representing Republicans in election disputes, and Bob Bauer, the White House counsel during Barack Obama’s presidency. Bernier and Ginsberg said attacks on the election will hurt Republicans in the long run because their voters will be less likely to cast ballots if they think elections are rigged...........................

I do know some people from Chippewa area and for the most point they are more sensible/practical folk, IMO.

one Imagines she has her own agenda and this is her break out moment.

I can see her going after a politician who originally come from county farther north than hers.

privilege slipping away forever. It’s courageous because the digital terrorists will literally threaten your life, as intended for anyone who dissents from the cult.

2. Idiot electoral bases are unmanageable

Idiot electoral bases are unmanageable. It is taking most Republicons a long time to figure this out. It's because they too have been qonned by tRump. I suppose if you appeal to the lower half of the IQ scale, you probably live there too.

A base of voters for a party is not stable and can slide out from under you. It's a mob, a not especially empathic mob, like the mob that killed two of its own doing tRump's dirty work Jan 6.

At first Republicons like McCONnell and McCarthy condemned the destructive disruptive violent action. Then they discovered the base would buy another pack of lies centered around "political prisoners" and off they went, chasing their stupid base.

5. Why is it STILL an issue? A CONSERVATIVE group just said "no widespread fraud"

And they WANTED to find it. They did a TEN MONTH investigation and reported, HONESTLY, that they found nothing. Why isnt THAT enough

10. Translation: The evidence for voting fraud isn't going our way

Just like the phony audit in Arizona, no matter how hard they look, they find a clean, fraud-free election process. One of the Pennsylvania audits decided to stop because they made the amazing discovery that the mail-in ballots were 100% accurate and that was the safest, most secure way to vote.
