Wisconsin is the latest among the swing states whose legislators are taking steps toward saving the republic. On Dec. 11, the Wisconsin state legislature’s Joint Committee on Campaigns and Elections heard seven hours of testimony about election fraud/irregularities from eyewitnesses and from forensic analysts.
The testimony not only concerned the election process itself but also the hoax of the Wisconsin recount process. The Trump campaign had paid $3 million for the recount, not in hopes that it would necessarily be productive in itself, but because it was a necessary step to be taken before certain legal actions could be filed. The testimony at the hearing demonstrated that the recount was likely an even more fraudulent process than the election itself.
As happened in the hearings in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Georgia held over the last few weeks, the Republican legislators themselves split between those who wanted to take action to resolve the current crisis, and the more cowardly ones who wanted to have a nice conversation about corrective legislation for future elections.
Possibly because their Covid diagnoses had put them out of action over the last week, neither of Trump’s attorneys, Jenna Ellis nor Rudy Giuliani, was there to provide guidance for the hearing. Therefore the Wisconsin legislators fell back on a combination of good advice from several of their local witnesses who happened to know the relevant constitutional statutes, and the bad advice they heard from their own legislative counsel, who testified at the hearing that the legislators had no immediate options, and that they could only consider new legislation for future elections.
Several legislators indicated that they wanted additional, outside legal opinions about their options. The following exchange that occurred between two of the legislators towards the end of the hearing expressed the general outrage and confusion that was felt about their predicament:
Rep.John Macco: “What can we do? I want to scream... I hope we can get some guidance... That’s the profound frustration over here...”
Rep. David Murphy: “There was no transparency… [but] when you shine the light on the cockroaches, they scurry.... Representative Macco, you said that you are frustrated and didn’t know what to do. But I’m here to say right now that I would be more than willing to look at a vote and to decertify the group of electors that we have right now.”
To no one’s surprise, the hearing got little coverage. In fact, the next day, the censorship of any mention of vote fraud worsened, when Trump’s Saturday morning tweets about the election — just after Friday night’s Supreme Court decision, and just before the MAGA marches were to begin — had their “likes” and “replies” temporarily disabled, handicapping the President’s novel method of communicating with the citizenry.
Expect that any further actions by state legislatures to reverse the fraudulent election will be even more heavily censored than before by the mainstream media and Big Tech.
