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

[milestogo]

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"

Tyranny in plain sight

1. This idiot needs to read how that would work in the final count and effect their state

the electoral count act: if a state refuses to certify their vote, the total is subtracted from that needed to win, it isn’t subtracted from the winners total per say.

Needed to win with all states counted 270. If WI retracted their votes the total then needed to win would become 260.

Pure grand standing from a typical gqp creep!
