Lawfare in Wisconsin

Democrats are off the chain. The Party is the tip of spear in remaking America in the image of the Third World. Today, absurdly, Attorney General Josh Kaul’s office in Dane County (a progressive swamp) filed charges against Kenneth Chesebro, James Troupis, and Michael Roman. The men, all Trump associates, are charged under a statute that criminalizes attempting to forge legal records or other public documents.

But these men didn’t forge legal records. The situation of Hawaii in the 1960 presidential election as their precedent, where Democrats and Republicans sent different slates of electors to Congress (Nixon declined to toss the Democrat slate and put the matter to Congress even though he had the authority to do this, thus handing the election to Kennedy), the Republican Party in some states named alternative electors in 2020. Wisconsin was one of them. Of all the states, Wisconsin, the state with the most evidence of rigging, had not certified its electors by the safe harbor deadline.

Under the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (quietly but radically revised in 2021), Pence, like Nixon, had the authority to include or exclude electors as he saw fit, which could be challenged by Congress. Members of Congress could in their own right raise objections to electors. This rhetoric of “fake electors” is propaganda. Putting it charitably, Pence had misunderstood the law (it appears he was misled by the attorneys around him). But other Republicans hadn’t (Gosar, Cruz, Perry, and Hawley) and raised objections—as had Democrats in 2004 (which I supported because of evidence of rigging in Ohio). The “insurrection” stopped the process of disputing certifications. (Far from keeping Trump in office, the events that day secured Biden’s victory.)

I voted for Evers in 2018 because of what Walker was doing to the UW system—my deep dive into gender ideology was a few years away (Democrats aggressively push the queer agenda throughout Wisconsin’s public institutions). It was during 2020 that Evers’ authoritarianism became obvious. He appears mild mannered; behind the visage is darkness. Now, emboldened by the Trump’s conviction in a kangaroo court in Lower Manhattan, his administration is engaged in lawfare against his party’s political enemies.
