Wisconsin Republicans Welcome Federal Scrutiny on Voter Rolls Amidst Governor Evers' Opposition
Governor Tony Evers has publicly dismissed a federal investigation into potential non-citizen voting in Wisconsin, instructing federal investigators to 'stay out' of the state. This response came after the administration of President Trump confirmed a review of states where non-citizens might be casting ballots. In contrast, Wisconsin Republicans, including Tony Wied and Derrick Van Orden, have welcomed the federal scrutiny. They have called for Democrat-run states to release their voter rolls for examination. This divergence in opinion highlights a significant partisan divide over election integrity and the role of federal intervention in state electoral processes. The MacIver Institute, a conservative think tank, has also been actively pushing for election integrity, with their oversight leading to actions by the Wisconsin Elections Commission regarding duplicate ballot mailings in Green Bay and central-count failures in Milwaukee.
