WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Congressman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson requesting answers regarding how the Central Count was conducted on November 5th in the City of Milwaukee.
Reports from the count on Election Day this year raised numerous questions and concerns. Among these were potentially unsecure voting machines, retabulated ballots, and an Election Observer at the facility being prohibited from certain areas.
In response to these reports, Senator Johnson and Congressman Steil wrote to Mayor Johnson requesting greater transparency.
“Wisconsinites deserve to know our elections are conducted with the highest integrity, full transparency, and free from political bias. As a perennial battleground state, Wisconsin elections are always in the national spotlight, which further increases the need for transparency and integrity,” the lawmakers wrote.
