Report: Wisconsin Legislature Should Decertify 2020 Election Results
The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature could decertify President Joe Biden's electoral victory in the state and choose to change the results of the popular vote, according to a special investigator's report released on Tuesday, WISN reported.

Michael Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice who oversaw the Republican-backed review, said, "The Legislature should take a very hard look at the option of decertification of the 2020 Wisconsin presidential election."

However, Gableman told a committee gathering that decertifying the election results would not change who is currently the president of the United States.

Joe Biden won Wisconsin by some 21,000 votes.

Gableman's report harshly criticizes the state's election administrators and argues for dismantling Wisconsin's bipartisan election board and limiting mail voting, Politico reported.

He slammed the state board for how it sent absentee ballots to nursing homes and handled their return during the pandemic, even though that procedure was approved at the time by five of the six commissioners on the bipartisan board.

Republicans, however, have since then argued that the decision was illegal.

Gableman also suggested that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's Center for Tech and Civic Life's $8.8 million grant to Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay constituted election bribery.

Ann Jacobs, the Democratic chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, tweeted during the hearing at which the report was released, "WOW — Gableman goes full in crazy conspiracy theory and demands that Wisconsin 'Decertify' the election."

Gableman also urged a political rather than bipartisan body to certify the state’s electors, writing that certification should not be subject to the "whim of the courts," adding that "in the event of widespread contest, the thumb should be on the scale in favor of withholding certification of electors," Channel 3000 reported.

Jacobs called this "a shocking recommendation," stating on Twitter that "phrased another way — it recommends that the popular vote in Wisconsin be merely advisory. And could/would be overridden by a partisan legislature."

The Republican investigation into the Wisconsin election results has cost taxpayers nearly $700,000, according to WISN.

DeSantis chides students for wearing masks
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday criticized a group of students who donned face masks while he was making a visit to the University of South Florida.

DeSantis had arrived at the school to discuss funding for a $20 million cybersecurity program. It was before he took the podium that he targeted the students who stood behind him wearing masks, according to a local NBC News station.

“You do not have to wear those masks,” DeSantis reportedly said to the students. “I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything and we’ve gotta stop with this COVID theater. So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.”

The seven students DeSantis addressed reportedly attend Middleton High School, which is located in Tampa, Fla., and were invited to the press conference, Hillsborough Schools Superintendent Addison Davis confirmed to WFLA.

“We are excited our students from Middleton High School were highlighted as part of the statewide focus around cyber security education,” Davis told the news outlet. “Our Cyber Security pathway at MHS has had tremendous success through students earning industry certifications, participating in internships and leading the way in computer systems and information technology. As always, our students should be valued and celebrated. It is a student and parents’ choice to protect their health in a way they feel most appropriate. We are proud of the manner in which our students represented themselves and our school district.”

DeSantis has made an effort previously to end mask mandates in Florida schools and has threatened to withhold funding from school districts that implement them.

Last month, he advocated for parents to have the ability to sue school districts if their child “was illegally forced-masked this year in Florida,” WFLA reported.

Psyching out a moron to divide the republican party, if Trump leaves with just 10% of their base they are screwed and he will probably take more like 30%. If Donald can't control the republican party and if they reject him, he will try to destroy them and cause them to lose in 2022 out of spite and revenge. He's done it before in Georgia to get Mitch, even at the expense of screwing himself.
