This is a big fat finger in the face of democracy and law and order. And nobody is doing anything about it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well, there's certainly some rallies. I've attended a couple, but we're certainly getting low on polite options.
Everyone knows what's left to do after nobody does anything. Yet nobody is doing that either.
This certainly seems like he could be arrested and face state chargers for election interference here. Wisconsin, get your shit together.
Definitely not if he's successful, and probably not if he's unsuccessful, if we're being honest.
Yeah, he already did this in the general, no one gave a shit.
Wisconsin, get armed and angry.
Lock him up.
How this is legal? In the past when a private citizen would go up to a politician and hand him a bag of money for some favor, we called that bribery/corruption and both would go to jail. Now a billionaire gives a personal contribution of 300 million to a politician in exchange for a high government position, and no one lifts a finger.
Boehner was handing out checks on the house floor two decades ago.

we called that lobbying I think
Looks like a job for: a well regulated Militia necessary to the security of a free state.
Wisconsin, do the right thing and arrest this guy.
Well guys, we know where he will be…………….
Haha wow this would probably be super dangerous if he did it in a country with one of the most lax firearms laws in the world and where the ratio of firearms:population is notably greater than 1
For reference, here is the pertinent section of the Wisconsin Bribery statute (taken from this PoliticsUSA.com post)
So 2 Wisconsinites have the chance to do the funniest thing of all time?
I'm still outraged by 2,000 mules here /s - but this is just straight election interference.
Is this a surprise?
Not the most efficient way to rally two (2) votes.
