CONLEY COMMENTARY (WSAU) – We should remember how close the 2020 presidential balloting was in Wisconsin. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by just over 20,000 votes out of 3.4-million ballots cast.
Since then maybe there are more than 20,000 voters who’ve changed their minds. Maybe they’ve had enough of the higher gasoline and grocery prices. Maybe they’re disgusted by our open southern border, at our botched retreat from Afghanistan, at our lack of clarity for our ally Israel. Maybe the proposed forced vaccination for COVID, which was blocked by one vote at the U.S. Supreme Court, will have changed a person’s vote from one candidate to another.
Now remember all the Wisconsin voting irregularities. All the ballots that were deposited in, since declared illegal drop boxes, that may have been carried by mules. Or the ballots cast without proper addresses of voter IDs at Madison’s Democracy In The Park. Or the people who got two ballots in the mail. Or people in nursing homes with amnesia or Alzheimers who somehow managed to vote. Or the middle of the night ballot flash from Milwaukee where every vote was for Biden.
The bottom line is that Donal Trump, the very close loser four years ago, could win in Wisconsin this fall. So clearly a new strategy is needed, like removing Trump from the ballot.
Kirk Bangstead, the skunk-beer brewer of the Northwoods, has filed a complaint with the now-liberal state Supreme Court asking that Donald Trump be ruled to be an insurrectionist and therefore ineligible to be on the ballot. How exactly would that work? Will the state’s activist judges decide the insurrection question without hearing any testimony or evidence? Will they use the findings of Nancy Pelosi’s partisan January 6th committee?
The U.S. Supreme Court is more likely than not to put an end to this silliness that’s already afoot in Colorado and Maine and now Wisconsin.
Remember the underlying premise of these lawsuits – Donald Trump might win.
And which side is anti-democratic? Isn’t it the one that’s trying to remove a candidate from the ballot?
