Republicans, nonpartisan election experts, third party candidates speak out against Hovde’s lies

MADISON, Wis. — After Eric Hovde and his band of fellow election denying losers spread their election lies yesterday, everyone from GOP election experts like Joe Handrick to nonpartisan election experts like Craig Gilbert, to the third party candidates in the race, called out Hovde’s ridiculous nonsense. 

Everyone knows Eric Hovde lost, including Eric Hovde himself. It’s time for him to stop being the whiny Californian **** that Wisconsinites rejected last week and concede the election.

Republicans calling out Eric Hovde:

Republican & Former Tommy Thompson Campaign Manager, Bill McCoshen: 

Our side has to stop saying stupid **** about the turnout last Tuesday. There were MORE votes for president than there were for US Senate. Thats not uncommon. Look it up before you post! 

Pres: 3,403,973

USS: 3,344,444

Republican Wisconsin Election Expert and Former State Rep, Joe Handrick:

Reposting this (AGAIN) as the internet is awash with the mathematically challenged claiming fraud because a late-night dump in MKE stole the election from Hovde. 

It was predicted. 

The actual Harris gain from the Milwaukee absentees was 68,154.  The Baldwin gain was 70,530.

Republican Wisconsin operative Jim Villa:

We’ve been through this before. Stop calling them ballot dumps. They come late because that’s when they are legally allowed to count them. They tend to be dramatically more for Democrats because Milwaukee is predominantly a Dem city. 

Stop trying to erode trust in our elections (and I say that as someone who supported Hovde). That grift needs to stop!
