Wisconsin GOP Candidate Hovde Questions Senate Race Results, Considers Recount

Eric Hovde, a Wisconsin Republican, acknowledged his defeat to Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin but questioned the election's legitimacy, considering a recount. Despite losing by less than a percentage point, Hovde cited "improbable" results and "inconsistencies," particularly in Milwaukee's late-night ballot reporting. Election officials and experts dismissed his claims, attributing the results to normal voting patterns and same-day registrations. Hovde also accused Democrats of manipulating third-party candidates to siphon votes. Under Wisconsin law, he can request a recount, but experts doubt it will change the outcome.

The Growing Threat of Election Certification Refusal by Local Officials

In Washoe County, Nevada, local officials initially refused to certify primary election results, raising concerns about election integrity and potential chaos in future elections. The Nevada Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the commissioners who voted against certification, leading to a reversal of their decision under legal pressure. This case is seen as a model for how state officials can ensure election certification, with experts suggesting it demonstrates the readiness of swing states to counteract attempts to deny certification in the 2024 elections.

"Federal Judge to Rule on Constitutionality of Georgia's Election System Amid Security Trial"

Allies of former President Donald Trump, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, are attempting to use a federal case in Georgia concerning election security to support the baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen. The case, Curling v. Raffensperger, involves plaintiffs arguing that Georgia's voting machines are vulnerable to security risks, a claim backed by cybersecurity experts. While the plaintiffs do not allege that these vulnerabilities were exploited in past elections, Trump allies are poised to use any ruling affirming these vulnerabilities to cast doubt on election integrity. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defends the machines' security, and the trial is expected to last several weeks, with potential implications for the 2024 election cycle.
