MADISON, WI (WTAQ) — Former State Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, the Special Counsel leading the partisan investigation into the 2020 Presidential election in Wisconsin, is critical of the way the 2020 election was handled in the state.
Gableman spoke in front of the Assembly Elections Committee.
“At this point I believe the legislature needs to take a very hard look at the decertification of the 2020 Presidential Election,” said Gableman.
Gableman says that city clerks across the state are doing everything they can to avoid speaking to him, including filing a number of lawsuits. Gableman has shown video of senior citizens at nursing homes who voted in the 2020 election, despite some being unable to speak.
One claims she was compelled to vote by nursing home staff.
Much of Gableman’s presentation also focused on the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a left-leaning foundation financed by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, that funded elections in five Wisconsin cities, including Green Bay. It focused on the links CTCL officials have with the Democratic party, including several high ranking officials that worked in the Obama administration.
Gableman’s report makes a series of recommendations:
- Eliminate the Wisconsin Elections Commission
- Eliminate or reduce fees for voter registration data
- Maintain a single, statewide voter registration database, and make it publicly available and secure
- Set up an office to engage in auditing and oversight of elections
- Standardize a process for post-election contestings
- Prohibit certain contractual terms in government contracts
- Minimize pre-voting
- Encourage in-house technical support
- Exit the Electronic Registration Information Center
- Provide a method in the law for private challenges to the voter rolls
- Locate certification of Presidential elections in a politically-accountable body
- Provide a method for pre- and post- certification challenges to Presidential elections
- Prohibit outside funding and staff in elections administration
- Several recommendations for the Wisconsin Elections Commission, as currently constituted
- Several recommendations for clerks
Governor Tony Evers reacted to the report Tuesday afternoon.
“This circus has long surpassed being a mere embarrassment for our state. From the beginning, it has never been a serious or functioning effort, it has lacked public accountability and transparency, and it has been a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars,” Evers said in a statement.
Attorney General Josh Kaul also spoke out against the report.
““This report is a full-throated attack on our democracy and a truly shocking example of the authoritarian mindset at work,” Kaul said.
