For a second time Assembly leaders have rejected a proposal from a Republican lawmaker to pull back Wisconsin’s electoral votes cast in the 2020 presidential election. Republican state representative Timothy Ramthun from Campbellsport introduced a resolution during a floor session Tuesday to retract the state’s 10 electoral votes cast for President Joe Biden in 2021. Assembly leaders referred the resolution to the Assembly Rules committee, and the committee chairman quickly said Ramthun’s resolution won’t be taken up. Comittee chair and Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke said there was “Zero chance he would advance this illegal resolution.” Republican state senator Dan Feyen of Fond du Lac told WFDL news Ramthun’s proposal has “No validity.”
