Bryan Steil Teams Up With Top Election Denier Jim Jordan

MADISON, Wis. — Today, Bryan Steil appeared alongside Donald Trump ally and top election denier Jim Jordan to support Wisconsin Republicans’ bad-faith effort to meddle in election administration and starve local governments of the resources they need to run elections. “Bryan Steil’s decision to team up with one of the top election deniers in Congress proves that his priorities are entirely out of line,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Joe Oslund. “Jim Jordan voted to overturn the 2020 election and was Donald Trump’s right-hand man in his fight to overturn his election loss. The lies Jim Jordan told about Donald Trump’s 2020 loss don’t belong in our state’s constitution—but that’s exactly what Questions 1 and 2 would do, all with Bryan Steil’s eager support.”

Here’s some background on Bryan Steil’s election-denying ally Jim Jordan:

• Jim Jordan Voted To Overturn The 2020 Election. Jim Jordan was one of the 147 Republicans in Congress who attempted to overturn Donald Trump’s election loss in 2020 by voting against certifying President Biden’s electoral votes from Arizona.
   
• Jim Jordan Repeatedly Suggested That Donald Trump Won The 2020 Election. Jim Jordan appeared at a “Stop the Steal” rally in the days after the 2020 election and later said, “I don’t know how you can ever convince me that Trump didn’t actually win.” Before the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol on January 6th, Jordan suggested that Donald Trump couldn’t have lost the election because he got more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.
   
• Jim Jordan Spread Debunked Conspiracy Theories About Voter Fraud. In the wake of Donald Trump’s election loss, Jim Jordan joined right-wing media to spread false conspiracy theories about election workers committing voter fraud in Georgia to anyone who would listen. Jordan even falsely claimed dead people were registering to vote.
