FBI's Visit to Milwaukee County Election Director Raises Concerns Over Investigation Tactics
The FBI attempted to interview the director of elections in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, by visiting her private residence, according to a statement from the county clerk's office. George Christenson, the county clerk, expressed concern over the FBI's approach, stating that it was inappropriate to visit the director's home rather than contacting the Election Commission's office directly. This visit is part of a broader investigation into potential ballot irregularities and record-keeping failures in several states, including Georgia and Arizona. The investigation adds to the scrutiny faced by election officials in swing states that President Trump lost in the 2020 election. Milwaukee County, where Joe Biden secured nearly 70% of the votes, was previously targeted by the Trump campaign in an unsuccessful lawsuit seeking to disqualify over 200,000 ballots.
