2 Republican lawmakers urge on crowd gathered at Wisc. Capitol seeking to overturn the 2020 election

MADISON – Two Wisconsin lawmakers — one egged on by former President Donald Trump — stood before hundreds in the rotunda of the state Capitol on Tuesday to rally support for the legally impossible cause of overturning the 2020 presidential election.

"You're not crazy," Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen of Menomonee Falls told the gathering of supporters who have embraced the notion the 2020 election was flawed, despite recounts, audits and court rulings that determined Joe Biden won the state's presidential contest by more than 20,000 votes.

Rep. Timothy Ramthun, a Republican who announced a run for governor on Saturday, was the reason the crowd descended on the Capitol. For months, Ramthun has led an effort to get Republicans who control the Legislature to take up a resolution he wrote to pull back Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes.

His work has earned him praise from Trump and discipline from Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who was the target of criticism among rally-goers who held signs that said "Toss Vos."
