ALEC has become a big player in Wisconsin home to 10 important Electoral College Votes.
Thus, for Republicans itching to win back the White House, the eventual nominee must appeal to suburban voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia. Winning or losing these six states reduces the 2024 presidential election to its simplest form. But the likelihood of a winning combination is stacked against the GOP. Why?
The answer is challenging Electoral College math along with some reality checks.
Over the last few months, an attack on democracy has slowly escalated in Wisconsin.
A group of Republicans in the state legislature, encouraged by Donald Trump, is pushing an illegal effort to undo the 2020 election.
They want to rescind Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes for Joe Biden – something that is not legally possible.
The GOP-controlled state assembly appointed a special counsel to review the 2020 election, who has encouraged the decertification effort, embraced conspiracy theories, and produced a 136-page report filled with misleading information. He has also suggested jailing mayors of some of the largest cities and employees of the state elections commission for opposing his investigation.
And like their counterparts in many other states, Wisconsin lawmakers have advanced a series of measures that would make it harder to vote.
