MADISON, WI (WRN) — There’s going to be another investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election.
The state Senate’s election committee will investigate what Republican leaders call the “careless administration of election law” by the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
They’ll also look at the refusal by elections officials in the City of Madison to provide documents and ballots to the Legislative Audit Bureau, which released results if its audit last week.
Madison and Milwaukee County offered the auditors copies, and said they were following guidance by the U.S. Department of Justice to protect election materials.
Senate Republican Leaders say audit findings make it clear that further information, and changes at the Elections Commission, are needed.
The Senate probe is in addition to an ongoing election review ordered by Assembly Republicans, being overseen by former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.
