Wisconsin election officials pushed back Friday against a Republican-hired investigator's review of the 2020 election, branding his findings as inaccurate and insisting the contest was conducted fairly and accurately.
Republicans have refused to accept that President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in Wisconsin by almost 21,000 votes, despite recounts, a state audit and court challenges that have upheld the results. Under pressure from Trump, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos hired former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman last summer to investigate the election at a cost of $676,000 in taxpayer money.
