Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin judge on Wednesday allowed an immigrants rights group to join a pending lawsuit challenging subpoenas issued by a Republican-hired attorney investigating President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win in the battleground state. Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos ordered the investigation last summer after former President Donald Trump complained that Wisconsin Republicans weren’t doing enough to show Biden stole the state from him.

Dane County Circuit Judge Rhonda Lanford on Wednesday granted the Voces de la Frontera request, saying the issues at play were sufficiently similar and that the group’s interests were distinct enough to warrant it.
