Elections commission chair urges attorney general to intervene to destroy Milwaukee absentee ballots
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson says he is unaware of any city election officials, current or former, who have sat for an interview with the FBI despite attempts by agents looking to discuss the 2020 election.
"I know there's been outside counsel that has been engaged on this as well, which I'm grateful for, the partnership we're having with some of the outside counsel there," Johnson said on WISN 12's "UPFRONT" which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. "But my understanding as of this moment is no."
Agents are said to be specifically asking questions related to Milwaukee's nearly 180,000 absentee ballots and the processing of those ballots at the city's central count location.
The ballots have yet to be destroyed. The county's corporation counsel has cited an ongoing lawsuit as the reason for preserving the ballots.
