Wisconsin Republican state Rep. Amy Loudenbeck has been vague about whether she believes Joe Biden is the legitimate president.
MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) Wisconsin's Republican secretary of state hopeful wants lawmakers to hand the office control over elections, but she won't say how much authority she wants or whether her duties should include unilaterally certifying presidential winners in the key battleground state.
Amy Loudenbeck, a state representative from south-central Wisconsin, wants to unseat long-time Democratic incumbent Doug La Follette in November. The Legislature has spent the last few decades stripping La Follette of almost all his responsibilities. Loudenbeck wants to restore some of them, including taking over election oversight from a bipartisan commission.
Republicans who control Wisconsin's Legislature passed bills this year making it more difficult to vote absentee and imposing restrictions on election administration, only to have Democratic Gov. Tony Evers veto them. In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Loudenbeck repeatedly declined to explain how much control over elections she wants or how she thinks elections should be administered, saying Republicans who control the Legislature would decide what responsibilities to give her.

Reads like she is in the camp of turning into a fascist, and just say to hell with the voters if she doesn't like the results...
Hey, Wisconsin, I am not trying to lump all of you together but have you sat down and asked how many men from your state died on the soil of a fascist state in a air campaign and stormed a beach to take down a fascist government in World War II.....

(4,044 posts)When Skippy Walker was enthroned, the Republican controlled Assembly and Legislature gave him more powers than any other Governor in the country. Then later, when Evers wiped his ass clean, they then proceeded to strip the Governors office of nearly every advantage afforded to Skippy.
I see a parallel on the horizon if these nut job Republicans win again, which I hope is doubtful, as candidate Tim Michels is as fascist as the bloated one.
Hang on to your hats, folks, as this election will be the precursor to 2024. Their plots will become more evident. Their lies and denials will amplify, and the system will be in planned disarray.
