Wisconsin’s election commission quietly certified Donald Trump’s victory on November 29, 2020, ending the chaos surrounding the 2020 election results in the state. Trump won with 1,697,626 votes compared to Kamala Harris’ 1,668,229 votes. After Trump’s refusal to accept Joe Biden’s win by about 21,000 votes, there were recounts and lawsuits in Democratic strongholds that ultimately did not change the outcome. Trump’s efforts to disqualify thousands of ballots were dismissed by the state Supreme Court and a federal judge. Despite pressure from Trump, investigations into election fraud allegations turned up nothing. The election commission’s administrator, Meagan Wolfe, faced false claims of election rigging and is now the target of Republican legislators trying to fire her. However, the commission has filed a lawsuit to keep her in her post. While conservative anger over the 2020 election has calmed, some Republicans remain skeptical of election processes. Several states, including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and New Mexico, have smoothly approved their election results in recent weeks.
