Republican @TomTiffanyWI, who supported President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 loss in the battleground state of Wisconsin, said Wednesday he did it because of concerns with election funding from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Tiffany's statement he released in January 2021 explaining his opposition to certifying Wisconsin's election results did not mention the Zuckerberg money:

Tiffany repeated his concerns, first voiced in 2021, about clerks in Milwaukee and Dane counties advising voters they could claim to be “indefinitely confined” due to the COVID-19 pandemic and receive absentee ballots without showing a photo ID.
Tiffany's Democratic challenger @DavidCCrowley wasn't buying it.
"He didn’t say anything nefarious was going on with our elections,” Crowley said. “He didn’t say anything happened throughout the process. He just didn’t like the fact of how money was being spent.”
.@SenSanders will be campaigning with Democrat @RebeccaforWI in Eau Claire on Sunday.

55,659 people voted in-person in Wisconsin on Tuesday, the first day it was available for the Nov. 3 election.
That is up from the 33,644 people who voted in-person absentee on the first day it was offered in 2022.
That is a 65% increase.
The one and only debate in Wisconsin's governor's race between Democrat @DavidCCrowley and Republican @TomTiffanyWI is tonight at 7 p.m. CT.
This will be Tiffany's first-ever debate for statewide office. Crowley did many forums and one debate during the Democratic primary.

.@derrickvanorden said in a debate today that the Iran war, which he supports, is “making it exponentially harder for Republicans to keep the House and Senate.”
Van Orden is a retired Navy SEAL who spent 26 years on active duty before being elected to Congress in 2022.
“I know about war,” Van Orden said.
He says his Democratic challenger @RebeccaforWI is unwilling to ever go to war, even when it's necessary.
