The Democratic governor of Wisconsin is opposed to preventing Republican front-runner Donald Trump from running in the crucial state, arguing that supporters of his disqualification “can vote against him.”
Biden Must Be a Frequent Visitor to the State
In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Gov. Tony Evers added that President Joe Biden needs to visit Wisconsin frequently and emphasize issues important to the middle class in his speech, rather than just stating that democracy is in jeopardy.
Could Trump Be Kept off the Ballot?
Evers’ remarks preceded the filing of a lawsuit on Friday to remove Trump from the Wisconsin ballot by Kirk Bangstad, the owner of Minocqua Brewing Co. and a Democratic activist. The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Friday that it will review a Colorado decision that suggested Trump could be disqualified and rule on whether he should be prevented from running for office due to his attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
We’re Going to Let the People Decide
As per Evers, the removal of Trump would not solve anything because, at the end of the day, I think the U.S. Supreme Court is going to say, ‘We’re going to let the people decide,’” “Do I think that he has done things that make Donald Trump disqualified?” Evers remarked. “Yes, but people can also vote against him.”
He Needs to Be Here, Simple as That.
Even while the 81-year-old Biden’s age is “of course” a factor, Evers asserted that he may prevail by making a case to younger people for their concern. “I think democracy is on the line, but we also have to recognize what a great job he has done on infrastructure issues and other things,” Evers added, highlighting work to repair lead pipes. “He needs to be here, simple as that.”
He Certainly Understands the Importance of Wisconsin
Democratic U.S. Representative Mark Pocan concurred, stating on Thursday that he had informed Biden that he had to visit Wisconsin to emphasize his investments in internet expansion, roads, and bridges as well as his initiatives to reduce inflation and combat climate change. Regarding Biden visiting the state, Pocan stated, “He wants to do that…He certainly understands the importance of Wisconsin.”
Wisconsin Numbers Could Go either Way
Among the few states that may go either way in November is Wisconsin, where four of the last six presidential contests have been decided by less than one percentage point. In 2020, Biden won by a margin of less than 21,000 votes, or less than 1% of the total number of votes cast. That followed Trump’s 2016 election-day tight victory in the state by a similar margin.
Series of Nationwide Abortion Rights Events to Kick Off
Throughout the first three years of his administration, Biden has made seven trips to Wisconsin; the most recent visit was on December 20 in Milwaukee, a state with a large Democratic population. On January 22, the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to launch a series of national events centered around abortion rights in Wisconsin.
Evers’ Reelection in Wisconsin
Democrats concentrated on battling to restore abortion rights after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022, and they were successful in winning contests across the nation, including Evers’ reelection in Wisconsin. Wisconsin polls have revealed widespread, partisan support for abortion legalization.
Too Old to Be President
However, according to the most recent Marquette University Law School survey, which was issued in November, 79% of registered voters thought that Biden was “too old to be president,” compared to 51% who thought the same of Trump. In the survey, Biden and Trump were virtually tied.
A “High Energy” Campaign
Even though Evers anticipated a “high energy” campaign, he was optimistic that there would be no violence or disturbances during the voting process. He claimed that standard procedures were being followed at the municipal and state levels to guarantee a seamless election. According to Evers, he expected that enabling local elections authorities to handle absentee ballot processing the day before an election would facilitate a more seamless procedure. Before the law can be sent to Evers, who has promised to sign it, the Senate must pass it.
Are Late-Night Releases of Ballot Elections No. 1 Cause of Election Fraud?
Wisconsin election officials are now unable to handle absentee votes until Election Day, when polls open at 7 a.m. Election fraud is not the cause of late-night ballot releases in big towns like Milwaukee, as Trump and election doubters have erroneously claimed.
Making Sure That This Doesn’t Run Until 4 in the Morning
“It’s going to make a big difference in making sure that this doesn’t run until 4 in the morning, which always gives people on the other side some creeps,” Evers said of the ability to process absentee votes sooner.
Trump’s Insistence on 2020 Election Being “Stolen”
Since 2020, there has been a great deal of anxiety concerning incidents of violence at the polls, political poll observers who are unduly combative, and problems with the ballot count. In addition to erroneously insisting that the 2020 election was “stolen,” Trump has called for the pardoning of individuals who were prosecuted for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and he has threatened to use the federal government to exact revenge on his political rivals.
Wisconsin One of Seven Battleground States Where Fake Electors Met and Strategized
Trump lost many lawsuits that attempted to remove enough votes to give him the victory in Wisconsin in 2020, and he battled to reverse that result. In addition, Wisconsin was one of the seven battleground states where fictitious electors convened and sought to cast votes declaring Trump the victor—a tactic that lies at the core of the criminal accusations leveled against him and his allies.
Good Reason to Vote Against Somebody Like That
“It’s unfortunate that a presidential candidate has to declare that he’s a winner unless it’s stolen from him,” Evers remarked. “That’s a good enough reason to vote against that kind of person.”
