Ron Johnson Calls on Republicans to Take Over Elections

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that that Wisconsin’s Republican legislators should seize power in running the state’s federal elections, without regard to Gov. Tony Evers (D) or the state’s election commission.

Said Johnson: “There’s no mention of the governor in the Constitution. It says state legislatures, and so if I were running the joint — and I’m not — I would come out and I would just say, ‘We’re reclaiming our authority. Don’t listen to the Wisconsin Elections Commission anymore. Their guidances are null and void.'”
