Former justice Mike Gableman on Friday issued subpoenas to Dane, Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, and Brown counties along with the state’s Elections Commission. He is looking for communications between election managers and outside groups, most notably the Mark Zuckerburg-funded Center For Tech and Civic Life.
