(Terry Bell, WRN) An attamept to try to recall the state’s electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election has been flatly rejected.

An Assembly committee Thursday unanimously rejected the call from state Representative Tim Ramthun to award Wisconsin’s ten electoral votes to Donald Trump. Lawyers for the Legislature say Ramthun’s plan violates state election laws, and the U-S Constitution.

Ramthun is running for governor, campaigning on the idea that Wisconsin somehow can change its electoral votes. Some Republicans are angry that lawmakers won’t even vote on it.
