The civil settlement in Wisconsin marks the first time pro-Trump electors have agreed to revoke their false filings and not repeat their actions in the next presidential election.
The big part here is they won’t work as electors in any future election where Donald Trump is a candidate on the ballot. Obviously any result they got in the train wouldn’t overturn the election but the ruling can help prevent it from happening again.
I can’t understand why they wouldn’t be disallowed from working as electors in any future election full stop. Limiting it like that seems like almost no consequence.
How is that a deterent? So other MAGA zealots look at that and say “oh, so I can deny democracy in a position of power, and have zero consequences. Hold my beer”

It’s like trying to slam a revolving door.
It’s still not fun for the rest of us watching them try it.
