Joe Sanfelippo (born February 26,1964) is an American businessman and politician. He was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly,representing Wisconsin's 15th Assembly district from 2013 to 2023.
From West Allis,Wisconsin,Sanfelippo went to Marquette University and then opened a landscape company. Sanfelippo served on the Milwaukee County,Wisconsin Board of Supervisors. In November 2012,Sanfelippo was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly as a Republican. [1] [2]
On February 13,2020,speaking on the radio for the Wisconsin Republican Party,and in support of a crime bill,Sanfelippo stated,"FBI data shows violent crime rates increased in all but two Wisconsin cities between 2008 and 2017." [3] The national media fact-checking organization,PolitiFact evaluated his claim and found it to be "Pants On Fire" in error. His conclusions were based on flawed data,and almost entirely false. Crime in fact had increased slightly in Milwaukee,but essentially nowhere else,according to state and FBI numbers. Some of those organizations and municipalities generating the numbers had also somewhat changed reporting systems,so it was not possible to establish Sanfelippo's claims as facts. [4]
After Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election,Sanfelippo made unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and suggested that Wisconsin should ignore the results of the election and that the state's electors should choose either Trump or Biden. [5] [6] Sanfelipp also suggested nullifying the election results and holding a new election. [6]

After the results of the 2020 United States presidential election determined U.S. president Donald Trump had lost,a scheme was devised by him,his associates and Republican Party officials in seven states to subvert the election by creating and submitting fraudulent certificates of ascertainment to falsely claim Trump had won the electoral college vote in those states. The intent of the scheme was to pass the fraudulent certificates to then-vice president Mike Pence in the hope he would count them,rather than the authentic certificates,and thus overturn Joe Biden's victory. This scheme was defended by a fringe legal theory developed by Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and John Eastman,detailed in the Eastman memos,which claimed a vice president has the constitutional discretion to swap official electors with an alternate slate during the certification process,thus changing the outcome of the electoral college vote and the overall winner of the presidential race. The scheme came to be known as the Pence Card. By June 2024,dozens of Republican state officials and Trump associates had been indicted in five states for their alleged involvement. The federal Smith special counsel investigation is investigating Trump's role in the events. Testimony has revealed that Trump was fully aware of the fake electors scheme,and knew that Eastman's plan for Pence to obstruct the certification of electoral votes was a violation of the Electoral Count Act.
