Wisconsin commission won’t punish fake electors

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — A group of Wisconsin Republicans who took it upon themselves to certify to the U.S. Senate that Donald Trump won the battleground state in the 2020 presidential election didn’t break any laws, state elections officials said Tuesday. According to the Wisconsin Justice Department analysis, Hitt and nine other Republicans, including elections Commissioner Bob Spindell, gathered in the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, the last day for Wisconsin to send its electoral votes to the Senate. A post-election recount showed Biden defeated Trump by almost 21,000 votes in Wisconsin but several legal challenges to those results were still in play as of Dec. 14, the Justice Department report noted. Law Forward, a nonprofit law firm, filed complaints with the elections commission and Milwaukee prosecutors in March 2021 alleging the Republicans illegally posed as Wisconsin’s electors in an attempt to convince the U.S. Congress to hand the state to Trump. The analysis from the state Justice Department, run by Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, concluded that since the outcome of the presidential election was still in doubt on Dec. 14 the GOP electors were within their rights when they cast votes for Trump to ensure the Senate received them by the deadline.
