A Republican state lawmaker says the Wisconsin Elections Commission needs to be reigned in and forced to follow election laws.
Waukesha State Representative Scott Allen says it’s time for a criminal investigation into the commission.
Allen made that comment after the Legislature’s Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules killed a rule from the WEC.
It would have allowed election clerks to make changes to absentee ballots.
Allen says that is clearly against state law – as was the commission’s guidance two years ago about ballot drop boxes.
