“It’s full of exaggeration and exaggeration, which is what Democrats do best on this election stuff,” Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in an interview at the State Capitol last week. “We’re just trying to make sure that the people who were elected were legitimately elected.”
Mr Vos said he is still not sure whether President Biden has legitimately won the state. (Mr Biden leads by more than 20,000 votes.)
It won’t take long for statewide elections in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to swing. Four of the last six presidential elections in Wisconsin have been decided by less than 23,000 votes. Other than Barack Obama, no presidential candidate since 1996 has won more than 51 percent of the vote in any of the three states.
And as Mr Trump and his allies erode confidence in US elections by making baseless allegations of voter fraud, it is no longer a stretch to imagine governors loyal to the former president trying to change future results. Incredible step.
Governors are required to present a certificate of identity to the President’s electors to Congress. But what if the governor refuses?
Another scenario could also throw a governor out of power upon a presidential election: A state might send a competing slate of voters to Congress, and the House might accept one slate and the Senate another. Then, the Electoral Count Act of 1887—the guideline for matching the votes of the Electoral College, which remained unclear until the January 6 violence—gives a tiebreaking vote to the state governor.
National Task Force on Election Crisis, a non-partisan group of experts in various fields, The September 2020 memo warned about such a possibility.
