Trump alleges 'cheating' in Wisconsin redistricting case: 'Republicans must do something'

2023-11-27

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Former President Donald Trump

...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
responded to the Wisconsin State Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in a case that would upend the state’s election maps.

Wisconsin’s state legislature’s district maps are considered by many Democrats to be the most aggressively gerrymandered in the country. They were first drawn in 2011 under former Republican Gov. Scott Walker. The map has helped his party keep their large majority in both chambers of the state legislature since then, even as Democrats often win statewide elections.

With a new liberal majority on the state Supreme Court, the challenge to the map was brought up and has been the topic of conservative criticism nationwide.

"Democrats fought to elect Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz this spring so she could help them retake control of the state Legislature through a rewrite of the state’s political maps. Now the court’s liberal majority is going through contortions to deliver on that anti-democratic judicial promissory note," the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote in a piece titled "A Looming Judicial Coup in Wisconsin."

Trump shared this editorial on his social media site, Truth Social, where he condemned the Wisconsin Supreme Court for taking up the case.

"Tremendous cheating going on in a State that I love, Wisconsin. Republicans must do something to stop it!" he said in the post.

Trump won Wisconsin in the 2016 presidential election and lost it in 2020. The state appears poised to have a major effect on the 2024 election.

#4 Janet was pretty explicit about intending to overturn the map; it's why she was elected.

#3 First thing you do is fire the board at the RNC. Till you start there, nothing is going to change. The RNC's current mission is to make money for the RNC and protect what it has.

Is there actually a spike in "Islamophobia"?
