NEW GLARUS – The 10 Wisconsinites who participated in a scheme to claim the state's 10 electoral votes for former President Donald Trump in 2020 should be charged and be held accountable, Gov. Tony Evers said Friday.
"Well, no," the Democratic governor said when asked by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel whether he would feel confident in the state's elections going forward if the 10 fraudulent electors don't ultimately face charges.
"There has to be accountability," Evers said after a bill signing ceremony in New Glarus. "What they did was wrong, and so I'm hoping somebody will pick up the banner here, because this has to happen."
Trump is accused by a federal grand jury of organizing a conspiracy to steal the 2020 election from President Joe Biden — with strategies that included organizing slates of fraudulent electors in seven states, including Wisconsin, to claim to be electors for Trump despite the outcome of the election. Wisconsin is among several states highlighted in a sweeping federal indictment handed down Tuesday.

Perhaps Evers is giving our AG a push to do something??
