Why Decertifying the Wisconsin 2020 Presidential Election Results is Unfeasible
The notion that the Wisconsin 2020 Presidential election results can be decertified, despite the conflicting opinions of federal judges and legal experts, is highly improbable and, indeed, illegal.
Why Decertification Is Unfeasible
Let's delve into why decertifying the election results is not only a futile endeavor but also a violation of the United States Constitution. The 62 federal judges who have spoken out unanimously support this view, effectively silencing any reasonable doubt.
Firstly, the results were certified over a year ago. This certification acted as a final and binding decision that cannot be overturned without a significant legal and constitutional overhaul. Secondly, there is no provision in the U.S. Constitution for the decertification of presidential elections. Only impeachment, as outlined in the Constitution, or the invocation of the 25th Amendment in the event a sitting president is removed, can remove a president from office.
The Role of Gableman and Non-Partisanship
Critics often invoke the name of Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge, in debates on decertification. However, suggesting he is known for non-partisanship is misleading at best. Gableman is a partisan appointee who was hired by the Republican legislature to 'investigate' the 2020 election. This appointment was clearly political, and his actions and biases have been widely documented. His involvement in such matters should not be taken as a symbol of impartiality or non-partisanship.
For instance, Gableman attended a Mike Lindell rally and visited fraud claims in Arizona, indicating a pre-disposition towards the opposing viewpoint. Moreover, he admitted to knowing nothing about the election process and has taken actions to target Democratic officials for arrest, further undermining his supposed impartiality.
The Electoral Count Act of 1887
The Electoral Count Act of 1887 provides for the certification of the vote for president, but it contains no provision for decertification. This act serves as a procedural framework for counting electoral votes after the election results have been submitted, and it explicitly states the finality of these results. The act is clear and binding, leaving no room for after-the-fact changes or re-votes.
What the Experts Say
To further dispel any lingering doubts, consider the opinions of constitutional law experts like Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine, and co-director of the Fair Elections and Free Speech Center. Hasen and others have consistently maintained that there is no legal pathway for decertification. Their expertise underscores the unlikelihood of such an endeavor.
Given that the 2020 election is now part of history and legal evidence is robust, persisting in this folly is not only inadvisable but potentially damaging to the individual pushing such a notion. It is time to recognize that decertification is not an option, and it is crucial to move forward.
It's time to set aside the kool-aid and move on. Acceptance and understanding the legal and constitutional framework is essential for a healthy democracy. Stick to the facts and let history speak for itself.
