Wisconsin judge revives complaint over 2020 fake electors

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s bipartisan elections commission must disregard its earlier ruling unanimously rejecting a complaint against fake presidential electors who attempted to cast the state’s ballots for former President Donald Trump when it rehears the case, a judge ruled Tuesday. A Republican commissioner who considered the original complaint must not take part in the reconsideration because he was one of the 10 fake electors, Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington ruled. Madison-based liberal law firm Law Forward filed a complaint with the commission in 2021 alleging that Republicans illegally posed as Wisconsin electors in an attempt to convince the U.S. Congress to declare Trump won the state in 2020, even though he lost to President Joe Biden by about 21,000 votes. The commission voted unanimously last year in a closed meeting to reject the complaint, saying Republicans who attempted to cast the state’s 10 electoral college votes for Trump did not break any election laws.
