Wisconsin conservative tells Trump election deniers' rally that it’s time to ‘support the people who see it our way’

Raw Story  

At a rally outside the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison on Saturday, Michael Gableman accused election officials and the Democratic leaders of the state’s largest cities of fraud and urged attendees to fight for action from Republican legislators. On Saturday, Gableman was joined in speaking at the rally by prominent election skeptics, including Rep. Tim Ramthun, who is running a right-wing campaign for governor but polling at about 4%; Rep. Janel Brandtjen, the chairwoman of the Assembly Campaigns and Elections Committee; Adam Steen, who is running a primary campaign against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos ; former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and former Menomonee Falls Village President Jefferson Davis, who has been a leading figure in the state’s election denialism. Gableman has joined a fringe group of Republicans in calling for the decertification of Wisconsin’s 2020 election and the recall of the state’s 10 Electoral College votes. Gableman and the legislators calling for decertification have drawn widespread condemnation from Democrats and a handful of state Republicans, including retiring Assembly Majority Leader Rep. Jim Steineke who has promised to kill any bills to decertify the election and retiring Sen. Kathy Bernier, who chairs the Senate elections committee and previously administered elections as a county clerk. The article included the numerous fact checks and debunkings of Gableman’s fantastical claims of election fraud that have been repeatedly made by election officials and news outlets, before stating that state Republicans’ continued focus on the 2020 election could have harmful consequences for the party in elections moving forward.
