Keys to the election of your congressman

Ben Adams, Town of Watertown
The first key is a door key in the hand of incumbent Scott Fitzgerald. It is December 2020. The true electors were to meet that day with Governor Evers to certify that Joe Biden had won Wisconsin and the 10 electors met to formally sign papers and finalize the state’s result.
