Wisconsin AG (D) stays mum on whether state is looking at Wisconsin fake electors
A day after Michigan filed charges against 16 people involved in a scheme to substitute fake electoral votes and shift that state’s 2020 presidential electoral votes from Joe Biden to Donald Trump, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said he could not discuss whether a similar case might be underway in the Badger State.
At a news conference Wednesday morning, Kaul was asked about the conspiracy and forgery charges filed Tuesday by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel against 16 Republicans in that state. The 16 were accused of conspiring to substitute false electoral vote certificates for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election in place of Michigan’s real electoral votes cast for Joe Biden.
Kaul declined to say Wednesday whether a corresponding investigation is underway in Wisconsin, where a similar attempt was made to substitute the state’s 10 genuine Democratic electoral votes for Biden with 10 false Republican electoral vote certificates for Trump.
“I’m not going to comment directly on issues in Wisconsin,” Kaul told reporters. “We generally don’t confirm or deny the existence of investigations at the Department of Justice except in unique public safety circumstances.”
Kaul said Wednesday that after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, “I talked about how we need to ensure that anybody who was involved in a seditious conspiracy to overturn the results of our elections needs to be held accountable. That absolutely remains my view.”
