The special counsel report into the November 2020 election in Wisconsin was released Tuesday, and it claims election grants provided by Center for Tech and Civic Life violate Wisconsin election bribery law.
Special Counsel Michael Gableman released his findings in a 136-page document Tuesday.
While Gableman says the goal of the report is not to overturn the election, he believes the legislature could decertify it. That claim has been met with pushback from both parties. Gableman himself says decertification would not unseat President Joe Biden.
Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steinke called such discussion a “fools errand.”
“I have ten months remaining in my last term. In my remaining time, I can guarantee that I will not be part of any effort, and will do everything possible to stop any effort, to put politicians in charge of deciding who wins or loses elections,” Steineke says.
The investigation came at the request of Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and was funded by taxpayers. Gableman had a $686,000 budget.
