Assembly Speaker Robin Vos signed contracts in June with two retired police detectives and a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice to handle the investigation. The move comes amid growing calls from former President Donald Trump and other Wisconsin Republicans for a broader audit. Wisconsin Democratic Party executive director Nellie Sires called it a “sham investigation.”“The fact will remain that the 2020 election was free, fair and conclusive,” she said in a statement. Trump last month called out Vos and two other Republican legislative leaders, saying they were “working hard to cover up election corruption.” Vos and the other Wisconsin Republicans said Trump was misinformed. There are almost no documented cases of election fraud in Wisconsin.
