Wisconsin Republicans Must End Their Sham Election Review

Oct 15, 2021

End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement after Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul demanded Republicans immediately stop their attempt to sabotage Wisconsin elections with their sham election review:

“Wisconsin Republicans’ fraudulent review of the free and fair 2020 presidential election has been an embarrassment. The Republican-led effort, which could cost taxpayers nearly $700,000, has been a disaster since its inception. There has been constant mismanagement, including sending letters to wrong officials and cities and inconsistencies with the plans for the sham review. The leader of the fake election review even admitted that he does not have ‘a comprehensive understanding or even any understanding of how elections work.’ 

“We join with Attorney General Josh Kaul in calling for Wisconsin Republicans to immediately stop their sham review. This fraudulent review only serves to intimidate voters, undermine voters’ faith in our democracy, and sabotage Wisconsin elections. Sham reviews like this one in Wisconsin underscore the need for the U.S. Senate to quickly pass the Freedom to Vote Act, a comprehensive anti-corruption and voting rights bill that would set clear standards for actual, fair, and necessary election audits and ensure that elections remain free from sabotage and that trusted local election officials are able to securely count every vote.”
