While Wisconsin Slept Republicans Rejected Will of Voters and Worked Against Orderly Transition of Power

‘The Republicans’ actions are shameful and not worthy of anyone who calls themselves a public servant.’

MADISON, Wis. — The following are the statements of One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross on the actions of Wisconsin Republicans rejecting the results of the November 2018 elections, which they lost:

“While Wisconsin slept last night, Republicans worked behind closed doors on schemes to reject the results of the November 2018 midterm elections, in which they lost every statewide office on the ballot.

“Instead of respecting the will of the voters and the laws and traditions of our nation, Wisconsin Republicans have once again sought to rig the rules for their own benefit and in doing so undermined the orderly transition of power from one administration to the next.

“They have even gone so far as to thumb their noses at the voters and a federal court order by re-imposing limits on early voting.

“Over 2.6 million voters of this state cast their ballots, and they spoke up clearly for a change from eight years of complete Republican control of state government.

“The Republicans’ actions are shameful and not worthy of anyone who calls themselves a public servant.”
