Not seeing how it isn’t criminal charges, and instead a settlement with little more then a sorry we got caught.
“I feel like I have to do it otherwise there will be a target on my back in my own district for the chair,”
What a coward.
Trying to steal the election should have dire consequences. Not this.
Losing a civil war shoulda maybe had a consequence or two.
Unfortunately we don't have a great track record in the USA. The president of the confederacy only got a couple years in prison after the Civil War, and lived as a celebrity for a couple decades after that...
Three years later
The big part here is they won't work as electors in any future election where Donald Trump is a candidate on the ballot. Obviously any result they got in the train wouldn't overturn the election but the ruling can help prevent it from happening again.
I can't understand why they wouldn't be disallowed from working as electors in any future election full stop. Limiting it like that seems like almost no consequence.
How is that a deterent? So other MAGA zealots look at that and say "oh, so I can deny democracy in a position of power, and have zero consequences. Hold my beer"
It's like trying to slam a revolving door.
It's still not fun for the rest of us watching them try it.
In Wisconsin, the Republicans said they met at the state capitol to sign the paperwork so their votes would count if a court ever overturned Biden’s victory in the state. They met about an hour after the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld Biden’s victory in a 4-3 decision that Trump later unsuccessfully appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Just a reminder that Three (3) Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices participated in an attempted coup in 2020.
They got off way too easy
Nice of them to agree that Biden won now that's almost four years later. Sheesh!! :/
The more I ponder this, the more inadequate it appears to me.
Oh my god! It's 3 years ago! My time machine works!
