Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told News Talk 1130 WISN's Dan O'Donnell on Thursday that he is hiring three former police officers to lead the legislative investigation.
"What I am most concerned about is making sure that when we have another election in 2022, we don't have the same problems," Vos said.
Reports point to outside, nonprofit groups like the Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life using grant money to gain access to election operations in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Racine and Kenosha.
"We want to make sure we have a continuing fact-basis," Vos explained.
"We have gotten great reports from people all around the state, and I want those to keep pouring in. We need more and more folks to sign affidavits, to work with these investigators, to say, 'I was in X-municipality, and this is what I personally witnessed.'" Vos said the investigators will have subpoena power, as well as the power to grant immunity.
Vos said he hopes to show clear and convincing evidence that these outside groups broke Wisconsin's election laws, so that lawmakers can change those laws.
"I want to work on building the idea that Gov. [Tony] Evers is going to sign these bills," Vos said.
