GOP attorney appointed to elections commission, again
Associated PressMADISON, Wis. — A Republican attorney appointed to the Wisconsin Elections Commission to fill a key vacancy Wednesday won praise both from a Democratic member of the panel and the GOP-hired investigator looking into the 2020 election. Spindell is unlikely to get the needed Democratic vote because he has taken many positions on the commission that have angered Democrats He was also one of 10 Republicans who cast Electoral College votes for Donald Trump in Wisconsin, even though Trump lost. Millis made the motion to approve elections commission guidance in 2016 to local election clerks saying they can fill in missing information on the witness certificate that also serves as the envelope for absentee ballots. That guidance became the focus of intense criticism from Trump and Republicans after the 2020 election, who contend that the commission broke the law by telling clerks they could fill in missing information.
