Republicans, elections experts say Wisconsin probe is flawed
Associated PressMADISON, Wis. — Former Republican officeholders and elections experts said Wednesday that the GOP-ordered investigation into the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin lacks credibility, transparency and raises security risks and legal concerns. “It’s clear these are bad faith efforts, not fact-finding missions but rather political stunts to keep the lies of the 2020 election alive,” said Whitman, who served in former President George W. Bush’s Cabinet. Gableman in November told a crowd of Trump supporters in Milwaukee that, “Our elected leaders — your elected leaders — have allowed unelected bureaucrats at the Wisconsin Elections Commission to steal our vote.” Gableman also traveled to Arizona to talk with officials about the investigation there, and he attended a symposium in South Dakota organized by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell that included presentations by advocates of election conspiracy theories. Republican efforts questioning the outcome of the 2020 presidential race have led to voting system breaches that election security experts say pose a heightened risk to future elections.
