MADISON-Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate in response to the Republican plot to split Wisconsin’s electoral votes.
“The plot to split Wisconsin’s electoral votes, written by a Koch Brothers corporate front group, is another bald-faced power grab by Scott Walker’s Republican Party. They have sought to suppress votes and bring Jim Crow to the North, they have shut down hearings to the public, they have prevented elected representatives from making votes, they have disregarded the norms and traditions of our Legislature, they have run phony candidates, they have forged signatures, they have coordinated illegally with the corporations that fund them and now this.
Splitting Wisconsin’s electoral votes is part of a Tea Party fantasy that seeks power above all. This is offensive to Wisconsin’s traditions and it must be denounced.”
