Fact checking Tom Tiffany’s election claims in Wisconsin


🤔 Would you continue to say things that had been proven to be untrue? US Representative and Republican candidate for governor Tom Tiffany continues to promote conspiracy theories and cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election—six years after multiple independent and bipartisan investigations found the election to be legitimate. Tiffany refuses to say that former President Joe Biden won, vaguely claiming “improprieties” despite many statewide reviews, recounts, and lawsuits affirming the accuracy of the original results. He also supported President Donald Trump’s attempt to throw out all absentee ballots in Dane and Milwaukee counties. And Tiffany was the only Wisconsin Republican to sign on in support of a Texas lawsuit that would have overturned the 2020 election. Tiffany has also said he doesn’t believe “we should be doing mail-in voting” in Wisconsin, despite having voted absentee himself in 12 elections over the past 10 years. ✏️: Salina Heller
