Mr. Ramthun’s presentation claims the 2020 results were “a statistical impossibility.” As evidence it cites a document full of stuff like this: “Since 1892, no incumbent has gained votes and lost re-election.” But turnout was huge in 2020, while Mr. Trump also repelled many suburbanites. A hand audit of Wisconsin ballots by a conservative group found major ticket splitting in Mr. Biden’s favor. In some wards, 10.5% of Biden voters went for the GOP down ballot.
A President can be removed from office if he is impeached or incapacitated, but there is no undoing the Electoral College vote. Anyone who thinks that states can “reclaim” electors, so as to oust Mr. Biden in some kind of glorious revolution and effect a Trump restoration, has lost view of reality.
The 2022 elections should be the GOP’s oyster. A Democrat is in the White House, inflation is at 40-year highs, and labor-dominated cities have clung to Covid-19 rules long after the public moved on. Mainstream Republicans like former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who is also challenging Mr. Evers, should take a lesson from what Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin pulled off last year. Instead they’ll be getting hostile questions about Mr. Ramthun’s pet theories.
