Election deniers rally at Capitol, call to overturn 2020 results
MADISON (WKOW) – Demonstrators calling for Wisconsin lawmakers to decertify the state's 2020 presidential election results rallied at the State Capitol Tuesday.
Two Republican lawmakers spoke at the event. Other invited speakers targeted GOP legislative leaders, highlighting the divide among conservatives over whether Republican-controlled legislature is doing enough in response to unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.
Rep. Timothy Ramthun (R-Campbellsport), who announced Saturday he's running for governor, told the gathering of about 200 people he isn't "into conspiracies" but is instead pursuing truth, regardless of who's on the ballot.
Ramthun has continued to challenge the legislature's own lawyers, who've said for months it would be illegal for the legislature to try reclaiming the state's 10 electoral votes.
Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls), who chairs the Assembly's elections committee, also spoke at the event and told the crowd they're "not crazy" for seeking to decertify the election.
