The RINO head of the party should file on behalf of the RNC a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the Wisconsin DNC.
Force them into court and force them to spend money.
do any illegal crap to win an election- finance fraud, lie about your opponent, massive vote fraud, then after elected get slapped on the wrist and off you go to serve your elected term. people need to be removed from offices they obtain by cheating.
exactly
Now, every person involved should be thrown in jail. That includes the jackboots who did the raid. And while they sit in prison, they can thank God that none of the people whose homes they raided shot back.
Diana in Wisconsin, have you seen this?
Oops! Trying to ping you. Wondered if you had seen this.
