Thanks to an open records request, we now know that the staff of now-Congressman Fitzgerald reserved meeting space inside the state capitol for the Wisconsin Republican Party at the same date and time that those fraudulent electors convened in those rooms.

State Sen. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) and Rep. Jonathan Brostoff (D-Milwaukee) sent a letter Monday putting pressure on Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, also a Democrat, to hold the cabal of Republicans electors who certified that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin accountable for what the lawmakers label sedition.
Brostoff and Larson are referring to the meeting on Dec. 14, 2020 in the Capitol where Republican electors gathered to falsely certify that Donald Trump won the presidential election in Wisconsin and they cast those votes as if they were electors.
The states actual Certificate of Ascertainment, which lists how many votes each candidate for president received in the state, came from the group of Democratic electors that included Gov. Tony Evers, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Rep. Shelia Stubbs and Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler. They met the day after a partial recount was completed that found dozens of additional votes for Biden as part of the Trump campaigns unsuccessful attempt to throw out 238,000 votes in the Democratic strongholds of Dane and Milwaukee counties. It was determined that Biden had won by 20,682 votes out of 3.3 million cast in the state.
The 10 Democratic electors signed the certification live on Wisconsin Eye and then mailed it to the U.S. Senate.
The other electors, chosen in advance by the Republican party, also met at the Capitol, but in secret, claiming they were authorized to cast Wisconsins votes for Trump, who lost the statewide election.

Were Heroes of a larger magnitude than otherwise described...if those scumbag seditious slobs had got their hands on those boxes they may have switched the paperwork.
Round up everyone involved in trying to overthrow our government and lock them up for the full 20 years.
