| Description | MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin elections panel voted 6 to nothing Tuesday to let six Republicans run as Democrats in the upcoming recall elections.
The Government Accountability Board rejected a complaint from Democrats who said the fake candidates broke the law, by falsely declaring that they represent the ideals of the party they’re running under.
But the state GOP said voters should be the ones to decide that. And Board staff members said the law does not permit the panel to “inquire into the motivations for an individual’s candidacy for office.” |
