Role: Former Chairman, Republican Party of Wisconsin (2019-2021); attorney; leader of the Wisconsin “fake electors” slate that convened December 14, 2020; central figure in Wisconsin-specific 2020 election-overturning coordination; subsequent settlement with Wisconsin civil plaintiffs and cooperation with prosecutors.

Status: As of 2026, Hitt was not criminally charged in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin criminal charges filed June 2024 in Dane County Circuit Court targeted the three attorneys who organized the scheme — Jim Troupis (State v. Troupis, No. 2024CF001295), Mike Roman (State v. Roman, No. 2024CF001294), and Kenneth Chesebro (State v. Chesebro, No. 2024CF001293) — not the electors themselves. Hitt settled the civil litigation brought by Wisconsin electors (Mary Buestrin et al.) in December 2023. Federal: subject of investigation; not individually charged.

For Trump Supporters: Questions Worth Considering

Andrew Hitt was the Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party. He signed a certificate falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of Wisconsin’s electoral votes — a state Trump lost by approximately 20,000 votes certified by Republican and Democratic election officials. That false certificate was transmitted to Congress to be counted alongside the real results. He settled civil litigation with Wisconsin plaintiffs in December 2023. Wisconsin’s criminal charges (filed June 2024) targeted the three attorneys who organized the scheme — Chesebro, Roman, and Troupis — not the electors. Hitt has reportedly cooperated with prosecutors.

Here’s a question worth sitting with: If a Democratic state party chairman had signed a false electoral certificate to make a losing Democratic candidate appear to have won — what would you call that? Would you call it protecting democracy? Or would you call it fraud?

A second question about Hitt’s cooperation: He has reportedly cooperated with prosecutors and already settled civil litigation. People generally cooperate and settle when they acknowledge their conduct was legally problematic. If the conduct were legitimate — if signing an alternate electoral certificate were a lawful political action — why cooperate and settle rather than defend it?
