Voters fired Kelly Ruh (photo, left), a Republican alderwoman in Wisconsin who participated in the Trump campaign’s attempt to replace legitimate Biden electors with fake electors, from the DePere city council on Tuesday, April 5, 2022 (read story here and watch video below).
Ruh was beaten, 570 votes to 452 votes, by Pamela Gantz, a local real estate agent and volunteer pollworker.
Ruh, who “put her name on a slate of fake presidential electors for Trump,” has been subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
So far, none of the 84 fake electors from 7 states involved in the scheme are facing criminal charges, but Democrats in Wisconsin are pressing for prosecutions against the 10 fake Trump electors from that state (see stories here).
Ruh is too dishonest and untrustworthy for public office. But she’s guilty of more than fraud, forgery, and false swearing. She violated the civil rights of the 81 million Americans who elected Biden, and tried to take away their freedom.
