Wisconsin False Electors Settle Lawsuit, Admit Attempt to Overturn 2020 Election
A lawsuit against Wisconsin Republicans who cast fraudulent electoral college votes for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election has been partly settled, with the false electors admitting their actions were part of an attempt to "improperly overturn" the election results. They also agreed not to serve as presidential electors in future elections featuring Trump and pledged to cooperate with investigations into the January 6th Capitol riots. The settlement addresses the electors, while legal action against the attorneys involved is pending. Wisconsin served as a testing ground for the GOP false electors strategy, which was later seen in other swing states.
