Tending the Garden of Fair Elections


Listen Later

There’s an adage, “making the billy goat the gardener” that may apply to a member of the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), the organization entrusted with making sure the State’s elections are fairly run.  Bob Spindell, a Republican-Party appointment to the Commission, and one of the fake electors who attempted to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, remains a member of the Commission even after his involvement in throwing out the popular vote of the people of Wisconsin.  Nicholas Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign joins the Thursday edition of the 8 O’Clock Buzz, to talk about a rally at the State Capitol in conjunction with the first in-person meeting of the WEC.    Nicholas would like to see Bob removed from the commission and the rally will focus on saving democracy for the voters of Wisconsin.  Seems like the billy goat wants to stick around for the next harvest.
