Vos: Wisconsin GOP election probe to go longer, cost more

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Tuesday said the investigation he ordered into the 2020 presidential election will spill into next year and cost more money, factors he blamed on Democrats who are fighting subpoenas.

The current contract Vos signed this summer with former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman to lead the investigation runs through the end of this month at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $680,000. As part of his investigation, Gableman sought subpoenas of the mayors of the state’s five largest cities and the state’s top elections official.

Gableman said the mayors of Madison and Green Bay should be jailed if they don’t sit for a deposition. A court hearing in that case is set for Jan. 21. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul is trying to block the subpoena of Meagan Wolfe, the state election administrator, and a court hearing on that is set for next week.

They are using these fraudits to get rid of honest election officials and replace them with Qanon officials.

proves it daily) so why is the democrats' fault in 'delaying' their investigation? Such a one-sided investigation almost never is fair and also, why is more time really needed, if there was so much fraud, shouldn't it have been found already with the investigation already done thus far?
