MyPillow's Mike Lindell and to Arizona to observe Cyber Ninjas' 'audit'


Wisconsin Republicans who have been leading an effort to conduct a partisan "audit" of their state's 2020 election attended a conference this week hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, the Associated Press reported Thursday.

The delegation included former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, state Rep. Tim Ramthun, and Wisconsin Elections Commission member Bob Spindell, according to the AP.

Gableman said he was at the conference in South Dakota "out of an honest effort to find out if anyone has any information that will be helpful in carrying out my duties as special counsel."

In May, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced he was putting Gableman in charge of an investigation into the 2020 election. President Joe Biden won the state by more than 20,000 votes, a victory certified by state elections officials.

Amanda Chase just had all legislators at Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium stand up and introduce themselves. Some have left already, but this is a list of where the legislators that are currently there are from.

and just did a search as to what it was since he has faded in the background (probably doing dirty deeds)...

He penned a "get the vaccine" Op-Ed last week, which is probably what I might have seen a mention of but I recoil from anything to do with him, so dismissed it - https://madison.com/wsj/opinion/column/scott-walker-why-i-got-a-shot-and-hope-you-will-too/article_2ed17338-5b1d-5027-a7b3-acca1a887f59.html

Wisconsin freak show is not a functioning government, it is a bunch of dead-ender wingnuts seeing how far they push its citizens to please the Koch/Bradley/Mercer whims.
