On December 14 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump’s challenge to the state’s presidential election, and affirmed Joe Biden as the winner. It was the last gasp for Trump, and left him with no other legal options in Wisconsin. Accordingly, Gov. Tony Evers assembled the 10 duly authorized Democratic electors to sign official certificates casting the State of Wisconsin’s ten electoral votes, which were then mailed in an official documentation of the state’s electoral vote, to be read and tallied when Congress counted the electoral votes on Jan. 6.

But even as this official, public certification was happening, a group of Republicans also gathered in the Capitol to commit “a grave and brazen offense against our democracy,” a legal complaint charges.

................................

Specifically, they signed “a competing set of documents purporting to cast Wisconsin’s ten electoral votes for a candidate who lost Wisconsin’s statewide popular election,” namely Donald Trump. “After their meeting, these individuals transmitted the fraudulent documents they had created to the President of the United States Senate, the Wisconsin Secretary of State, the Archivist of the United States, and the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.”

.................................... .....................

........................

The complaint charges, among other things, that the 10 Republicans are guilty of (1)forgery, (2) falsely assuming to act as a public officer, (3) conspiracy to commit criminal acts and (4) misconduct in public office. The last offense, the complaint contends, can be charged because the perpetrators purported to be public officers.

Who are these 10 people? They are pillars of the Republican Party, most of whom have been party activists for decades, all of whom would have been the state electors had Trump actually won the election.

The WEC is a six-member board that administers statewide elections, as the secretary of state does in most other states. The board consists of three Democrats and three Republicans. Robert Spindell, noted above, is a member of the WEC and one of the people charged in this complaint. Think about that for a minute.
