Wisconsin’s attorney general is asking a judge to stop part of the investigation into last year’s election.
Attorney General Josh Kaul yesterday asked a Dane County judge to declare the subpoenas from former Supreme Court Justice Mike Gableman unenforceable. Gableman subpoenaed the mayors of Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Racine, and Kenosha along with the head of the state’s Elections Commission as part of his investigation into the lead-up to Election Day.
Kaul says the subpoenas are invalid because Gableman wants to interview the mayors and election officials in private, instead of before a legislative committee. Gableman’s investigation is one of two in the legislature that’s looking into last year’s vote.
