Gableman Delivers Interim Investigation Report

Frederica Freyberg:

Also at the Capitol, former Supreme Court justice Michael Gableman this week delivered an interim report on his investigation into the 2020 election. In an hours long hearing, he laid out more than 20 legislative recommendations, including that lawmakers ought to, “take a very hard look at decertifying the election.” This prompted Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke to tweet, saying, “handing authority to partisan politicians to determine if election fraud exists would be the end of our republican as we know it.” Decertifying the election has been deemed legally impossible. Gableman also described the private grants made to run the election in the midst of a pandemic as, “election bribery” and called on lawmakers to eliminate the Wisconsin Elections Commission and remove its administrator, a non-partisan position.

Michael Gableman:

Ms. Wolfe should be removed from WEC for cause. She has not been serving the way that she should be serving. She has not been cooperative. She has not been administering these elections in a fair, transparent, and accountable way.
