Gableman Releases Election Probe Update

Frederica Freyberg:

At the state Capitol this week, former justice Michael Gableman provided an initial report to legislators on his investigation into the 2020 election. His report did not present any conclusions, but laid out some issues he sees with the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Michael Gableman:

In short, a majority of our fellow citizens have expressed a variety of thoughtful and meaningful concerns about the fairness, honesty and transparency of our elections and furthermore seek understanding and truth as well as accountability from those entrusted with the administration of those elections. The interim report I delivered to Speaker Vos earlier today is an important first step along that journey.

Mark Spreitzer:

I think you, quite frankly, are one of the people that is undermining voter credibility in our elections and doing damage to our democracy.

Frederica Freyberg:

Republicans initially said Gableman’s investigation would wrap up by the end of the year but he did not provide any update on the time line when asked.
