Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling is recommending that five Wisconsin Elections Commissioners be criminally charged.
Schmaling says so-called “special voting deputies” should have been sent to eight nursing homes last year to help residents who didn’t have the mental capacity to vote.
The commission says no crimes were committed when poll workers were sent to oversee the voting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Republicans have already called for Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe to resign, but she refuses.
Attorney General Josh Kaul has echoed Governor Tony Evers’ response that county officials should file charges if they believe election laws were broken.
