Wisconsin voting probe chief urges Legislature to consider decertifying 2020 election

The former judge named to investigate Wisconsin's 2020 election declared Tuesday there is enough evidence of voting irregularities for the Legislature to consider decertifying the state's final results declaring Joe Biden the winner.

His conclusions followed two major court rulings that declared election rules changes enacted in 2020 - which allowed for ballot drop boxes to be used and voters to skip ID requirements by declaring themselves "Indefinitely confined" by COVID - were illegal.

The group said the suspicious outcome occurred because the Wisconsin Election Commission gave an "Illegal directive prohibiting municipal clerks from sending legally required special voting deputies into those homes." Gableman also called for the "Elimination and dismantling" of the Wisconsin Election Commission, an administrative office whose decisions were overturned by the courts after the election.

Gableman called the commission "Hopelessly incompetent." "We have to have an election system in Wisconsin that is not only honest in fact, but also in appearance," he told the lawmakers.

"Like the Legislative Audit Bureau, Special Counsel Gableman raises severe issues regarding the 2020 election in Wisconsin that need to be taken seriously," the senator said.

"I will continue to study the Special Counsel's findings and work to make sure no legitimate vote is cancelled by a fraudulent one." Democrats and the traditional media immediately derided Gableman's findings as "Fringe." "WOW - Gableman goes full in crazy conspiracy theory and demands that Wisconsin 'Decertify' the election," Wisconsin Elections Commission Chairwoman Ann Jacobs, a Democrat, wrote in a tweet.

As for corrective measures, Gableman recommended public and free-of-charge access to state voting rolls so residents can see "Who is eligible and who voted." His presentation included several videos of interviews with nursing home patients listed as having voted but who seemed challenged to answer questions about elections.
