WI Leggies Join (Meaningless) Petition to Pence

Over 80 battleground State legislators have signed a petition to Mike Pence.

...we write to ask you to comply with our reasonable request to afford our nation more time to properly review the 2020 election by postponing the January 6th opening and counting of the electoral votes for at least 10 days, affording our respective bodies to meet, investigate, and as a body vote on certification or decertification of the election. This action can be completed prior to the inauguration date, as required by the Constitution....

Wisconsin signatories--at this time--are:

Janel Brandtjan

Robert Brooks

Rick Gundrum

Cody Horlacher

Andre Jacque

Dan Knodl

Gae Magnafici

Dave Murphy

Jeff Mursau

Tim Ranthum

Joe Sanfelippo

Mike Schraa

Shae Sortwell

Jeremy Thiesfeldt

Chuck Wichgers

Perhaps the rest of the Legislature did not get time to do this--or have the requisite courage--or get permission from Robin Vos or Dave LeMahieu?

In any event, it's meaningless.  Vos and Fitzgerald refused to certify a Republican slate of electors, so the President of the Senate doesn't get a choice from Wisconsin.

The Republican Tea, Crumpets, and Social Club won this round.
