MADISON – Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said Friday he prays a top Republican does not appoint attorney Michael Gableman to the state Elections Commission because he can’t think of anyone less equipped to do the job.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos of Rochester will get to name Knudson’s replacement. He has said he hasn’t ruled anyone out, leaving open the possibility he could appoint Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice who has been conducting a taxpayer-funded review of the 2020 election at the behest of Vos.
“We all know Gableman has spent the last year — and a lot of our money, frankly — on things that have been obviously found to be incorrect time after time after time, and I can’t think of anybody less capable and less prepared to sit on the Wisconsin Elections Commission than him,” Evers told reporters Friday.
