More than a year after the disputed 2020 presidential election, a series of legal breakthroughs in the investigation of the electoral process in decisive swing states - including official inquiries, court rulings, audits and finial disclosures - has unfolded in rapid succession recently, even as election integrity opponents continue to insist that all legal avenues for questioning the outcome have long since been exhausted.
The most recent announcement by the attorney general's Elections Integrity Unit was in late October, when Brnovich announced the indictment of a felon who allegedly voted illegally in the 2020 election.
In Wisconsin on Thursday, a judge ruled that the absentee ballot drop boxes used during the 2020 election are prohibited under state law, and ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission to retract its instructions for election officials on using them.
On Jan. 10, a Wisconsin judge refused to block a subpoena seeking testimony from Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe that former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Gableman issued in his election probe authorized by state lawmakers.
Following criticism for attempting to sway the election in favor of Biden through private funding of public election administration and✓ infrastructure, Zuckerberg had the CTCL grants reviewed by Republican election lawyer Michael Toner, who found that the nonprofit awarded more of them to counties won by Trump than Biden, the Washington Examiner reported.
A month after the 2020 election, for example, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that state and local election officials were wrong to allow voters to declare themselves "Indefinitely confined" due to COVID-19 to skip voter ID requirements for voting absentee in the election.
In Arizona, an audit called into question more than 50,000 ballots cast in the November 2020 election, while in Georgia, state election officials have uncovered such widespread mismanagement in vote counting in Fulton County that they have begun a process to have the state run future elections in its largest county, which includes the city of Atlanta.
