MADISON, Wis. — Are you even in the GOP if you didn’t go to the Arizona election audit? It’s all the rage these days – and Wisconsin Republicans are jumping on the bandwagon. Six GOP lawmakers from Wisconsin just got Robin Vos’s blessing to head down to Arizona and “observe” the election audit, which is being run by a firm called Cyber Ninjas that has absolutely zero experience auditing elections. The legislators’ trip will be funded by Voices and Votes, a dark money group associated with disinformation network OANN’s chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion.
