Wisconsin sheriff seeks investigation of nursing home voting

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin sheriff who supports former President Donald Trump accused the bipartisan state Elections Commission of breaking the law during last year’s election, taking the unusual step Thursday of detailing the allegations publicly even though no charges have been filed. Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling called on the Wisconsin Department of Justice to investigate the commission’s decision last year to tell local elections officials not to send poll workers into nursing homes to assist residents with voting during the pandemic. “I didn’t ask because it doesn’t matter.” The elections commission, controlled by an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, in March 2020 voted 5-1 that poll workers could not be sent into nursing homes to help with voting due to a safer-at-home order issued by Gov. State law requires local election clerks to send so-called special voting deputies to nursing homes to give residents an opportunity to vote.
