Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) said on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump called him last week to discuss overturning the state's 2020 presidential election results.
Vos told WISN's Upfront he and Trump spoke after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that most absentee ballot drop boxes in the state are illegal. Trump, he said, "is very consistent. He makes his case, which I respect. He would like us to do something different in Wisconsin. I explained it's not allowed under the Constitution. He has a different opinion, and then he put out the tweet. So that's it."
