..."so much that has been found that a Republican attorney general could later prosecute,"




Assembly Speaker Robin Vos suggests pulling back Gableman's election review subpoenas

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said this week he is considering pulling back subpoenas issued to mayors and election officials as part of the GOP-ordered review of the 2020 election he launched last year.

/snip/

Vos said his concern is that state law provides immunity from prosecution to anyone subpoenaed by the state Legislature.

“I am seriously considering pulling back the subpoenas because it makes no sense to give people immunity now that we see that there is so much that has been found that a Republican attorney general could later prosecute," Vos said.

Vos didn't provide specifics on what criminal charges could be pursued and his office did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday. A recount, court decisions and multiple reviews have affirmed that President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin by almost 21,000 votes. Only 24 people out of nearly 3.3 million who cast ballots have been charged with election fraud in Wisconsin.

asshole. How does such a terrible person get reelected? Rhetorical, gerrymandering is the answer.

I'm from Wisconsin (live in Iowa now) and am so sad that my home state is not really the place I grew up in anymore.

That said, it is better than Iowa these days.

I am glad WI Dems continue to fight. But have to admit that with all the years of gerrymandered elections, we are forced to put up with the creepy Repugs in office.

It wasn't the right wing hellscape it is now. Well, it was moving in that direction, but there were still union workers and plenty of good people.

The scary thing is that Tommy Thompson seems like a moderate now. He isn't, but he sure seems slightly less evil than the current crop.
