Republican @WI_Elections commission member Dean Knudson calls for Democratic Chairw Ann Jacobs to resign after she followed state law and signed canvass report showing @JoeBiden won

Jacobs says she won't resign:

“You can shake your head. You got to spout off, now it’s my turn.”

@WI_Elections @JoeBiden Knudson complained that Jacobs had not responded to his emails yesterday asking her not to proceed with completing the election:

“Arguing with you via email is not a fruitful use of time and effort," Jacobs responded.

@WI_Elections @JoeBiden Knudson says the commission should not certify election results for any office, but his motion fails on a 3-3 deadlock

“If you wanted to create mistrust from one side...you’ve done it," he told board chair Jacobs.

@WI_Elections @JoeBiden Republican commission member @BobSpindell agrees with Knudson, says of Jacobs finalizing the election:

“Obviously this is long range Democratic planning solely to mess up the Trump campaign."

Discussion comes just after Trump sued to overturn election results

@WI_Elections @JoeBiden @BobSpindell Democratic commission member Mark Thomsen says same process followed this year as in 2016 when he was chair, notes Trump has filed a lawsuit:

“Now it is a legal question. There isn’t anything that this commission did or the chair did that was unlawful.”

@WI_Elections @JoeBiden @BobSpindell Here's an updated story on the Trump lawsuit filed today:
