MADISON, Wis. — Recent reporting from USA Today details Congressman Tom Tiffany’s election denial record and the dangers of having an extreme-MAGA, election denying governor overseeing pivotal Wisconsin elections in 2027 and 2028. Tom Tiffany has made strong efforts to overturn the 2020 election including voting to overturn the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania, and continues to spread election conspiracies and support the ongoing FBI probe into Wisconsin’s free and fair 2020 election.

USA Today: The Republicans who rejected 2020 election result running for governor

  • …U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin voted against certifying Joe Biden‘s Electoral College victories in Arizona and Pennsylvania after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack, when Trump had urged his supporters to fight his election loss. Tiffany later said he would have objected to his own state’s electoral votes, too, if he had the opportunity.
  • “We know who won the 2020 election. It is the most scrutinized election probably in world history,” said David Becker, founder and executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, a nonpartisan nonprofit that since 2016 has worked with election officials to bolster election security and integrity. “So it should be troubling to anyone who’s an American voter who’s going to be governed in any of these states when there is a candidate who seemingly is disconnected from reality.”
  • Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have been decided by relatively narrow margins in recent races, and they’ve been at the center of disputes over voting rules, ballot counting, certification of results and overall election administration.
  • Governors don’t run elections day-to-day, but they can shape voting laws and appoint key officials like secretaries of state and election board members. In some states, they also can influence how election disputes are handled.
  • Tiffany, also endorsed by Trump for his gubernatorial race, has continued to push claims of potentially rigged elections since voting against certifying Biden’s Electoral College victories in Arizona and Pennsylvania after the Jan. 6 riot.
  • Biden won Wisconsin by 20,695 votes in 2020, an outcome that was confirmed after Trump sought a recount in the two most populated counties.
  • Tiffany claimed election laws were improperly changed before the 2020 election and has supported tighter election security measures.
  • Tiffany said he supported the FBI’s effort to interview high-ranking Wisconsin state election officials at their homes about the 2020 presidential election.
  • “So clearly they have found something that is worth investigating, and so I just believe they should be allowed to complete the investigation,” Tiffany told a Channel 3000/News 3 Now reporter. “If there’s nothing there, then that’ll go away. If they do find something, then they can investigate that even further to make sure that there’s been no problems.”
  • Tiffany also said there were still “a couple things that were concerning” about 2020 even after multiple audits, lawsuits and other lookbacks found no evidence of problems.
  • “Tom Tiffany and Stacy Garrity have two things in common − election denialism and a Trump endorsement,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Emily Stuckey in a statement in March. “What could Tiffany have promised Trump that he hasn’t already done for him? What could a potential Trump lackey future governor be promising a president who thinks democracy is optional?”
  • The Tiffany campaign did not respond to several requests for comment.
