Wisconsin's Secretary of State Calls for Removal of Wisconsin Elections Commissioner Involved in Fake Electors Scheme

(AP) Wisconsin’s Democratic secretary of state on Monday called for a Republican who served as a fake elector for former President Donald Trump and admitted trying to overturn the 2020 election results to be removed from his position on the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Bob Spindell was one of 10 Republicans who signed certificates in 2020 falsely stating that Trump had won Wisconsin. President Joe Biden won the battleground state.

Spindell and other nine fake electors conceded in a legal settlement last week that Biden had won the state and agreed to not serve as electors in next year’s election or in any in which Trump is running.

They also agreed that their actions were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.” But they also avoided paying any damages and didn’t accept any liability or admit any wrongdoing for their actions.
