MADISON, Wis. (AP) A top Republican lawmaker in the presidential battleground state of Wisconsin said Friday that there is zero chance the GOP-controlled Legislature will take over awarding the state's 10 presidential elector votes in 2024, even as Democrats worry that is their goal.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told The Associated Press in an interview that he also opposes dissolving the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission, which oversees elections, or making wholesale changes to how it operates.
There has been an intense focus on Wisconsin and its election laws since President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by nearly 21,000 votes last year. Trump and his allies falsely claimed the election was stolen, and some Republican lawmakers have pushed conspiracy theories and other baseless claims in attempts to undo the results and make wholesale changes before the 2024 presidential election.
This idea that we need to blow up the entire system? I just dont see that, Vos told the AP. I do not favor some kind of a radical change to how the elections commission operates.

Vos is a two-faced weasel that would sell his own daughter to Trump if it got him more power.
The best bet for Democrats is to keep the governorship, and then to take State Supreme Court, and then challenge the gerrymandered map. But I am not sure when the next GOP seat in the court is up.

(81 posts)the system they proudly tout including one to allow DA's to screw around in other jurisdictions. Vos, you and your party are as credible as Nixon and as detestable as Martin Shkreli. May your intestinal microbiota revolt more successfully than the 1/6 Q-idiots. I still ain't buying your shiz.

(23,931 posts)Everything they say publicly re. politics is direct lies, so here we go
* there is zero chance = there is 100% chance
* opposes dissolving the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission = legislation dissolving the commission has already been written
* I do not favor some kind of a radical change to how the elections commission operates. = "I will promote the most radical changes possible, should the commission remain intact"
