Assembly Dave Murphy
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Greenville Republican Assemblyman Dave Murphy was one of the four Wisconsin lawmakers who toured the site of a en election recount and audit effort in Maricopa County, Arizona over the weekend.
Murphy spoke Monday on WTAQ’s ‘The Regular Joe Show’ and said that the audit was thorough.
“Two words I would take away from this are precision and security,” Murphy said. “This was a very buttoned down operation.”
Murphy went on to describe what he actually saw taking place.
“The counters would count 50 ballots,” Murphy said. “If there was any discrepancy between what they saw of more than one ballot, than all 50 were recounted. ”
The visit comes shortly after Wisconsin Republicans hired three investigators to look into how the election was held in this state. Murphy on Monday approached the subject of doing a similar audit in Wisconsin.
“The issue is right here in our area, Green Bay is it,” Murphy told host Joe Giganti. “I think if we would do something similar to what Arizona is doing, you would have to include Green Bay.”
Green Bay’s handling of the November election has been under scrutiny, with some crying foul over the city’s hiring of a former Democratic operative to help oversee the election process.
The Maricopa County recount has been controversial with those opposed saying it’s fraudulent and unnecessary.
Democratic President Joe Biden won both Arizona and Wisconsin in the November 2020 election, flipping both states, which were previously won by former Republican President Donald Trump.
