The former chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party said Sunday he was “tricked” into signing documents alleging former President Trump won the 2020 election as part of the state’s “fake elector” scheme.

Andrew Hitt told Anderson Cooper in a “60 Minutes” interview that he was advised by the state GOP’s legal counsel to sign the documents as a contingency, in case the Trump campaign’s legal case against Wisconsin’s election integrity succeeded.

Hitt said he “wasn’t comfortable with” Trump campaign attempts to toss out votes in Wisconsin, and that he didn’t believe the legal claims of widespread fraud.

    Soooo either he’s corrupt or he’s incompetent. Either way, he shouldn’t have had his position. A “fuck up” of this magnitude in any company would lead to either a straight up firing, or a rather rapid drumming out.

    This is notable because even if he’s out, he is certainly not the only one.
