Wisconsin is still several days away (at least) from certifying its election results, despite numerous erroneous reports in the mainstream press to the contrary.
Wisconsin law allows for a 5-day period in which a “determination of certification” – a preliminary step to state certification – can be appealed.
Only upon resolution of any appeals can Wisconsin Election Commissioners meet to certify an election. A process detailed by Wisconsin state legislator Bob Spindell yesterday:
To clarify, today the Wis Elec Com Chair will “make determination” of elect & recount – NOT A “CERTIFICATION” allowing party 5 days to file appeal of this Determination. After resolution of appeal only then can WEC Commissioners meet to certify election. Will keep you informed!

WIS Elec Com Chair @AnnJacobsMKE & @WI_Elections staff violated law & trust of WI voters by sending unauthorized Certification to Gov when had agreed to Ratification only. This cheap Dem publicity stunt changes nothing in Trump’s under statute right to appealw/i 5 days #bobsled
