Scott Fitzgerald has not publicly weighed in on Reconciling His 2020 Election Objection with His 2023 Claim That Congress Shouldn't Certify Elections

Scott Fitzgerald has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "Reconciling His 2020 Election Objection with His 2023 Claim That Congress Shouldn't Certify Elections" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: After voting to object to certifying Arizona's and Pennsylvania's 2020 electoral votes on January 6, 2021, Fitzgerald would be expected to clearly explain — or walk back — his position rather than holding two contradictory positions simultaneously. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: In a December 2023 interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Fitzgerald said he 'absolutely' stands behind his 2021 objections while simultaneously calling it 'ridiculous' that Congress votes on certifying other states' elections — saying 'there's no reason for members of Congress to be certifying an election in another state.' A UW-Madison political science professor noted Fitzgerald 'has it exactly backwards': Congress votes on certification only because members object; by voting to overturn, Fitzgerald was doing exactly what he said people shouldn't do. Fitzgerald has never resolved this contradiction. PoliScore notes he 'still refuses to say he regrets that choice, which raises real concerns about how he treats election rules.'
