“Top Republican says an investigation of Wisconsin’s election is unlikely to take away Biden’s win in the state”

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

Wisconsin lawmakers plan to issue their first subpoenas in decades as part of an investigation into the Nov. 3 election, even as the top Republican in the Assembly acknowledges the probe is unlikely to change the outcome.   

The move comes as supporters of President Donald Trump grapple with a narrow loss in a state they won four years ago by a sliver.  

As in other states, Wisconsin Republicans are alleging voter fraud but so far are not providing evidence of widespread problems that would take away President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

The state Senate and Assembly’s committees on elections plan to hold a joint hearing next week on how the election was conducted, said Rep. Ron Tusler, a Harrison Republican and the chairman of the Assembly committee.

He said he would call Meagan Wolfe, the director of the state Elections Commission, to testify and plans to subpoena municipal clerks or others to force them to come before the committees.

It has likely been more than 50 years since Wisconsin lawmakers have issued subpoenas, according to nonpartisan researchers for the Legislature.
