Memo: Vos asked if legislature can change presidential electors after election

[Ellipsis]

MADISON (WKOW) -- According to records obtained by a liberal watchdog group, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos explored the possibility of changing the state's presidential electors two weeks after the 2020 general election.

Washington, D.C.-based American Oversight released a series of memos from top legislative Republicans in Wisconsin and Arizona looking into the legality of changing the their state's electors after an election.

A memo dated November 16, 2020 from the Legislative Reference Bureau tells Vos it is responding to his request seeking to know "whether the legislature, after a presidential election, may affect the selection or actions of the state's presidential electors."

The nonpartisan reference bureau told Vos while the legislature can change the process for choosing the state's electors, it could not change the "selection or actions" of electors after an election.

1. November 16 is early enough in timeline that it indicates tRump Insurrection Plot was well advanced.

2. Suppose there is no harm in asking, but with Vos, one has to wonder

what his intent was. I’d love to see this guy pulled off his pedestal.

3. Isn't he the one that killed the new law that would make this legal?

Or was that a different house speaker?

4. Why is it not illegal to change

The selection of electors from what was decided by a free and fair popular vote?
Legislatures should NOT have the power to overturn a free and fair election.
