First a little background on WI 7th District. Of course it’s been jerrymandered beyond recognition when Dave Obey (D) held this seat from 1969-2011.
This year was an interesting election because Sean Duffy (R), former Reality TV show contestant, quit in September 2019. Duffy stated he left Washington because his wife was having their 9th baby, a child diagnosed with a heart condition. I am too nice to wonder about his child’s health vs. Mr. Duffy’s votes with the insurance industry denying pre-existing conditions….

His sudden departure required a special election in the Spring of 2020 where Tricia Zunker (D) failed to take the seat. In November Zunker and Tiffany faced off again and Mr. Tiffany won in what is considered a “safe Republican District”.
Mr. Tiffany is the ONLY WI representative of the 126 who signed on to Trumps Last Stand. Here, then, is my letter to him.
Oh, and by the way, I do not expect anything—not even a response— from Mr. Tiffany. He is beyond shaming. I only hope that my efforts over the next couple of years will turn this district around.
Mr. Tiffany
As of December 8th there were 50 post election lawsuits filed on behalf of Trump that were struck down. Only one suit, in PA, found sympathy with the court and the outcome of that lawsuit did not affect the outcome of that States’ Election. President Elect Bidon won PA.
Many of the justices who heard these lawsuits were Republican appointees and several were Trump appointees. Yet none of them found merit in Trump’s allegations of fraud.
On November 26th Fredric Eshelman of Eshelman Ventures LLC file suit against “True the Vote” stating he donated 2.5 million dollars to the organization to support investigations of “illegal and fraudulent conduct” in the 2020 presidential election. No such “illegal and fraudulent conduct” occurred and Mr. Eshelman wanted his money back.
On November 10th Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick offered a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to an arrest and conviction of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. No one has been able to claim that award because, Mr. Tiffany, there was no such fraud.
Yet despite all this evidence—or lack of—you decided that one of the very first actions after winning the 2020 seat for the 7th District as an elected Representative from Wisconsin was to join Mr. Patrick in Texas and his unprecedented and nonsensical push to overturn the 2020 presidential election, specifically the results from WI.
I live in Burnett County, WI in the 7th Congressional District. I am an election inspector for Webb Lake Township, WI.
It has been particularly painful for me to watch Mr. Trump disparage me personally and also my colleagues by falsely claiming that we election workers in Wisconsin were involved in illegal and fraudulent conduct.
It isn’t about Republican or Democrat anymore. It’s about integrity and the Constitution. It’s about Democracy and Free Elections.
You have failed spectacularly to understand this. You may or may not appreciate the small towns and communities that you represent or how we feel about politicians who go to Washington for their own personal gain.
I promise to spend the next two years reminding my friends, family and neighbors about your decision to question the integrity of the election and the electors who, ironically, voted you into office.
Funny how you aren’t demanding a recount of the November 2020 WI 7th District election results, isn’t it?
Sincerely
