Rick Hasen at the Election Law Blog notes one specific email, where “a Republican operative” suggests “messaging ‘widespread reports of election fraud’ so we are positively set up for the recount regardless of the final number.”
Longtime readers, if any, of this blog may remember that this early push on election fraud claims definitely happened in a very specific way:
Here is
Scott Walker claiming that he needs over 53% of the vote because voter fraud is going to claim 1-2% of the vote.
Here’s future state
House Speaker Robin Vos claiming that the Republican’s loss in a Wisconsin Senate recall race was partly due to fraud.
