Robin Vos fires Michael Gableman, leaving
GOP election review in limbo

Can someone show me one article that ever used the term "former" with President Obama's name? One? Just one?

Can anyone explain what’s going on ? Odd the article doesn’t mention the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision which held that drop boxes for ballots are illegal.

While I don't really have a problem with the firing, as politically motivated as it obviously was, thats the game all political creatures signed up for, I do have a problem with the soon to be former speaker going after the Judge on a more personal level. That vendetta just reeks of abuse of power.

If WI prevents the disability mail-in fraud and defends a certifiable process in the future the investigation will have been worth it. There will be no justice for the 2020 fraud until we have legitimate elections and replace the scammers.

I can't tell what is going on in Wisconsin. I'm with #2. Is there any Wisconsinite who can give us the medium short version of what the heck is going on? Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Whose on first?

#2 - What's "going on" is politics. Let's go back to November '20 with Biden overtaking PDT and securing Wisconsin's electoral votes in an "upset". You can believe what you will, but it is apparent in my mind that SIX upsets in SIX states with Republican legislatures is "suspicious" in several ways that involve the GOPe. Vos was Republican Speaker of the Assembly then. The Wisconsin legislature was essentially inert while Dem Gov. Tony Evers finally signed off on the certified slate of electors. (Those famous "drop boxes" were well publicized and apparently okay with Vos according to a letter he sent Madison's City Clerk in September '20.) Then, when the "selection" was made official, Vos and a few others started making noises that eventually expanded into an "investigation" headed by Gableman, a "highly respected" former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. He burned through his budget and issued a report finding “major unlawful conduct and irregularities”. None of these were shocking or even secret. He then waded into de-certifying the Presidential election outcome. That was too much for many state Republican politicos. First, there is no Constitutional allowance. Then, if the presidential vote is suspect, it stands to reason all results of every election that day are suspect and thus equally subject to decertification, although there is no state law allowing such. Bad politics, that. Vos was "primaried" for his seat. He won over an opponent endorsed by FPDT and Gableman. And now Vos is crowing. Oh, and Gableman's services are no longer needed.

Vos, the state assembly speaker is a Karl Rove devotee, previous served as head of the Rove inspired and Bush loyaist National Association of State Legislators. So take that for what its worth. The typical college republican turned staffer turned game player turned legislator with no demonstrable skills besides power game playing and eating free shrimp at happier hours sponsored by lobbyists. A member of the Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan " we will wait this guy out club". So when Wisconsin came in at three AM with a new count of curious voting paterns, Vos shrugged his shoulders and did nothing. Drop boxes didn't bother him or his minions, probably cuz in rural areas, it allows for, well, only Buddah knows. He hired Gableman to be a stooge, a trial court judge who found his way onto the State Supreme Court and then targeted and removed by liberals. But he wasn't a stooge, he actually investiged and subpoened clerks and responsible parties and discovered threads of evidence suggesting what we all knew-- Zuckerburg was allowed to finance illegal voting coordination within government offices in large cities ( Green Bay, Kenosha). The investigation showed improprieties to big to ignore and Vos sandbagged Gableman. The predicatable, nothing to see here, nothing we can do about it, lets not make noise. Vos is a legislative bully, He is feared and despised by those who aren't loyal to him. He was challenged and barely won. 52/48 or less than 400 votes. And his endorsement hurt the front runner for Governor, Rebecca KLeisfish. So Vos is still politically alive, but hopefully the state legislators will regroup with someone more responsive to the very Trump loving base in Wisconsin.

"Apparent" winner..only 240votes between the two.

Well the judge did make a commercial for his opponent, so it is understandable, although I would prefer that Devos had lost. It is naive to think Devos did not have a well oiled machine in place

#8 - "Apparent winner"? You may notice that Vos' opponent made no bones about the narrow outcome. No request for a recount. And Vos will run unopposed in November. #7 - I would suggest that Tommy Thompson's help rendered Michels hurt Kleefisch much more than Vos' endorsement. Kleefisch played her best cards, winning in Waukesha, Dane, Brown and Milwaukee metro areas. She lost. The rest of the state, every county, went for Michels...and that has Thompson "machine" fingerprints on it. Also, Kleefisch and Michels both call Waukesha home, with Kleefisch only winning the county by 5000 votes, not enough. Trump appeared in Waukesha immediately before the election, too. Let's also credit Kleefisch for taking defeat gracefully. The WI GOP should go into November united against Evers and Barnes.
