Judge to order Wisconsin Elections Commission to reconsider fake elector complaint without the commi

commissioner who joined the scheme

MADISON - The Wisconsin Elections Commission will be ordered to reconsider a complaint filed against a group of Republicans who posed as electors for Donald Trump in 2020 despite Joe Biden's presidential victory in Wisconsin.

Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington said Monday he will order the state's bipartisan elections commission take up the complaint without the participation of one of its own commissioners who participated in the scheme to submit false paperwork to then-Vice President Mike Pence and the National Archives claiming to be electors for Trump, despite his loss in Wisconsin.

Bob Spindell, a Republican commissioner on the state's top election oversight board, was sued in April and May 2022 in separate lawsuits over his role in the scheme that included similar efforts by Republicans in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Nevada. Spindell and other false electors have defended their actions, calling it a legal strategy in the event the election results were overturned by a lawsuit.

Remington said Monday he plans to issue the written order next week after the plaintiffs, Spindell, and elections commissioners agreed the commission should reconsider the complaint without Spindell’s participation. Remington's order will vacate the commission's March 2022 decision not to sanction the group of Republicans.
