Memo: Vos asked if legislature can change presidential electors after election [View all]

MADISON (WKOW) -- According to records obtained by a liberal watchdog group, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos explored the possibility of changing the state's presidential electors two weeks after the 2020 general election.

Washington, D.C.-based American Oversight released a series of memos from top legislative Republicans in Wisconsin and Arizona looking into the legality of changing the their state's electors after an election.

A memo dated November 16, 2020 from the Legislative Reference Bureau tells Vos it is responding to his request seeking to know "whether the legislature, after a presidential election, may affect the selection or actions of the state's presidential electors."

The nonpartisan reference bureau told Vos while the legislature can change the process for choosing the state's electors, it could not change the "selection or actions" of electors after an election.
