Wisconsin Officials Outraged After Pro-Trump Observers Start Objecting To Every Vote In Recount

With over 30 cases lost or dismissed in court, President Donald Trump and his legal team are scrambling to argue a modicum of legitimacy in the lies that widespread voter fraud tipped the 2020 presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden.

A key component in this effort is amplifying the wildly delusional claims to the less scrutinizing court of public opinion.


In the weeks since the election was called for Biden, the President's Twitter account has become a stream of falsehoods designed to undermine faith not only in the outcome of the 2020 election, but faith in the United States' overall democratic process.

Biden narrowly won the swing state of Wisconsin with a close enough margin to entitle Trump's campaign to a recount. The Trump campaign exercised that option, requesting recounts in the heavily blue counties of Milwaukee and Dane.

Emboldened by Trump's lies about the suppression of Republican poll watchers, some of Trump's supporters observing the recount have taken to contesting every single ballot, indicating a presumption of criminality.

The recount in Milwaukee was projected to conclude by Wednesday, but with every ballot being contested by pro-Trump poll observers in an effort to disqualify them, the December 1 deadline for the recount's completion is even more urgent.

Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said the effort was "unacceptable" and that the pro-Trump observers

"clearly don't know what they are doing."

The bad faith of the Trump campaign and its supporters was roundly criticized on Twitter.






Others weren't surprised.



Biden won the state of Wisconsin by around 20 thousand votes.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
