Republicans searching for problems with Wisconsin election

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Republicans are grasping for ways to reverse Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin over President Donald Trump, despite there being no evidence of widespread fraud or voting irregularities in the state. “There was a brief technical error in AP’s collection of the vote count in Rock County, Wisconsin, that was quickly corrected,” said AP spokesman Patrick Maks. We are confident in what we have delivered to customers.” Final results posted on Rock County’s website, which the AP reported on Election Day, show Biden received 46,649 votes in Rock County while Trump received 37,133. One of the lawmakers on the committee that will conduct the probe, Republican Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, said Monday that “If an investigation shows these actions affected the outcome of the election, we need to either declare this past election null and void and hold a new election or require our Electoral College Delegates to correct the injustice with their votes.” Wisconsin state law gives each political party with a presidential candidate on the ballot the power to pick their electors, and Republicans and Democrats did so last month. Also on Monday, Claire Woodall-Vogg, the director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, told the state elections commission about an issue that arose on election night when she delivered 12 flash drives containing the tallies for absentee votes to the county clerk’s office.
