Ex-cop hired to probe Wisconsin election has partisan ties

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — One of the retired police officers hired by a top Wisconsin Republican to investigate the presidential election in the battleground state has ties to the GOP and previously led a probe into voter fraud in Milwaukee, work that prosecutors disavowed and that a federal judge said was not trustworthy. “He’s been active in the Republican Party.” A 2008 report Sandvick wrote about the 2004 presidential election recommended that Wisconsin election laws be changed in light of what he said was voter fraud. Sandvick later did work on an “election integrity” committee established by the Wisconsin Republican Party and was briefly state director for True the Vote, a Texas group focused on voter fraud that is aligned with the tea party movement. Vos said one of them is a retired investigator from Brown County Sheriff’s Department who investigated former Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt over election law violations.
