‘The absurdity is stunning’: Chief of Wisconsin GOP's election review blasted for effort to arrest mayor of Madison https://www.rawstory.com/the-absurd...lasted-for-effort-to-arrest-mayor-of-madison/ Madison City Attorney Michael Haas, in a letter on Thursday to Waukesha County Judge Ralph Ramirez, responded to Michael Gableman’s attempt to arrest Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway as part of his partisan review of the 2020 presidential election. Haas said Gableman’s effort to arrest Rhodes-Conway and Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich was “unprofessional, an abuse of process, and a bad-faith effort to publicly harass local officials with no legal basis.” Gableman, who is reviewing the election on behalf of Speaker Robin Vos and other Assembly Republicans, has filed a petition in Waukesha County Circuit Court that would enable Ramirez to have the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office travel to Madison and Green Bay, arrest the mayors and detain them in the county jail in order to force them to testify about the election. The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice has had a lengthy back and forth with a number of cities and state agencies over his assertion that he has the ability to enforce subpoenas against officials. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul is currently fighting a lawsuit against Gableman over his ability to subpoena Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe. City officials in Madison and Green Bay had worked with Gableman’s office to provide an extensive amount of election-related documents he requested through a subpoena and believed that his request to have the mayors testify was no longer valid. Throughout the Gableman review, local officials have complained about a lack of communication from Gableman’s office and his highly paid staff. City officials have said they’d be happy to testify before Gableman, but would only do so in a public setting such as before the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections — which is nominally the body overseeing the review. Gableman has said he wants to hear testimony in private, but lawyers for the cities say he doesn’t have the legal ability to do so. In his letter, Haas highlights a number of ways in which communication with Gableman and his staff has been confusing, contradictory or nonexistent. “First, Mayor Rhodes-Conway and the City of Madison have attempted to engage in professional and open communication with Attorney Gableman, which has not been reciprocated,” Haas wrote. “The Mayor remains willing to testify in public before the legislative committee which issued the subpoena to discuss the conduct of the election in Madison, all of which is public information. Attorney Gableman has not offered any specific time, forum or format for a deposition.” Haas, like Genrich’s attorney, said that Gableman had completely mischaracterized the facts in his petition to the judge and that the move was almost comical. “Given these facts, this action is frivolous and the absurdity of the Special Counsel’s assertion regarding the Mayor’s compliance with the subpoena is stunning,” Haas wrote. The lawsuit over the testimony of WEC Administrator Wolfe involves many of the same issues and is pending in Dane County Circuit Court. Both Rhodes-Conway’s and Genrich’s lawyers have requested that Gableman’s petition be dismissed or for the matter to be settled after the Dane County case is resolved. A scheduling conference in the mayor case is set to be held Friday afternoon and a hearing is scheduled for Dec. 22.
The GOP "audit" circus continues in Wisconsin... Wisconsin Republicans back away from their effort to jail the mayors of Green Bay and Madison https://www.jsonline.com/story/news...ichael-gableman-madison-green-bay/6610830001/
At this point I'd be all for a class action suit against these clowns to get back our taxpayer dollars.
Wisconsin Assembly Sends Election Shockwaves by Voting to Withdraw 10 Biden Electors https://trendingpolitics.com/wiscon...by-voting-to-withdraw-10-biden-electors-knab/ The Wisconsin Assembly has voted in the affirmative to pass a privileged resolution to withdraw the state’s 10 electors who were slated to have cast their votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. ---- the “Zuckerberg” drop boxes, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s rulings, the rush to certify votes, “statistically impossible” results, errors in the Wisconsin voter database, canvas irregularities, deleting log file data, and lab audit results. “Whereas, the audit report of the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau identified 44,272 voters who did not provide proper voter identification in the 2020 general election, revealed the mass increase of indefinitely confined voters from 4,505 in 2019 to 169,901 in 2020, and also revealed 28.7% of all municipal clerks across all 72 counties used illegal drop boxes, and made 30 recommendations for the Elections Commission to rectify their actions,” the report states.
This is not the "Wisconsin Assembly" -- it is a small set of GOP MAGA legislators voting on a nonsense resolution. At least it makes clear to the Federal government the list of people who need to be prosecuted.

Trump knew he lost Wisconsin -- and newly revealed memos prove it: election law expert https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-wisconsin/ The timing of a newly revealed memo indicates that Donald Trump knew he lost the election in Wisconsin -- but intended to overturn the results, according to one expert. The New York Times obtained memos that shows Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman intended to exploit ambiguities in the Electoral Count Act to overturn his loss, but election law expert David Becker said the timing showed the twice-impeached one-term president was aware his team's legal claims were false. "Important to note that the same day the Trump campaign sent a memo to WI seeking to overturn the will of WI voters, 11/18, was the deadline for Trump to demand a statewide recount, which he declined to do," said Becker, the executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research. "And it was 2 weeks before WI’s deadline to certify the election," Becker added. "In essence, what this reporting demonstrates is that Trump was trying to overturn results that weren’t even certified yet, and which he didn’t think were worthy of statewide recount."
