@repvos signals he won't back off on his subpoenas for his election review, even though attorney Michael Gableman has already scaled back some of them.

“In order to restore confidence in our election system, Justice Gableman will continue his investigation," Vos said.
@repvos .@repvos, con't: "The subpoenas have been issued correctly – a fact backed up by the nonpartisan Legislative Council in a memo requested by Assembly Democrats."
@repvos If @JoshKaulWI and Gableman don't see eye to eye within days, they could wind up in court.

Gableman has told Meagan Wolfe of @WI_Elections to appear before him on Friday. Kaul represents Wolfe.

AG @JoshKaulWI tells reporters there are several flaws with former Justice Michael Gableman's subpoenas to election officials.

He says lawmakers are purporting to act as prosecutors, which they are not allowed to do.
@JoshKaulWI Kaul says Gableman can't interview officials in private, as he has suggested he would. Kaul says Gableman has to conduct interviews in front of the Assembly Elections Committee.

Kaul calls the subpoenas "dramatically overbroad."
@JoshKaulWI Kaul says Gableman's investigation is not serious and consists of glaring flaws.

“If what comes to my desk is gerrymander 2.0, I’ll veto it,” @GovEvers tells @mattsmith_news.

Evers says he’s doubtful he and Republican lawmakers will reach a deal on redistricting but leaves open the possibility.
.@GovEvers calls the last wolf hunt “a disaster.”
Evers says he’s waiting to see how an appeal goes that seeks to remove Frederick Prehn from the DNR Board.

Prehn has declined to step down from the board even though his term has expired.

Turning his sights on Evers, Gableman in new video makes election allegations without offering evidence jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
Gableman is going after @GovEvers for comments the governor made nearly two weeks ago.

Gableman is putting attention on Evers after facing criticism from the left and right for subpoenaing election officials and then walking back those subpoenas.
Gableman: "If the governor believes that it has been proven the election was conducted flawlessly, then he is completely ignorant to the concerns of Wisconsin voters who have great concerns regarding the sanctity and security of their vote.”

Top Assembly Republican Robin Vos is leaving it to an investigator to decide on subpoenas for the election investigation jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
.@repvos says:
— won’t sign @RepJanel’s subpoenas; will let Gableman come up with his own
— will let Gableman choose investigators and “cyberforensic” team
— scope of investigation is being finalized
— will spend up to $680K in taxpayer funds; won’t allow use of private funds
Like other Republicans, Vos has not spelled out yet what a “cyberforensic” audit would consist of.

It’s a term advocates of an Arizona-style review have used. Vos says every state is different and Wisconsin’s probe could look different.

Wisconsin election investigator Vos hired has partisan past bit.ly/3wIXnGr
In 2008, then-Milwaukee Police Detective Mike Sandvick wrote a report on the 2004 election that prompted a partisan brawl.

His supporters used his findings to highlight the threat of voter fraud, while his detractors noted his report was disavowed by prosecutors.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman would not allow the report to be introduced as evidence in a 2013 case over Wisconsin's voter ID law.

"It's not trustworthy," said Adelman, a former Democratic state senator.

Republican lawmakers plan to earmark a new $500 million for schools but then set $350 million of it aside.

That means schools would be guaranteed of getting $150 million.
.@JonErpenbach said lawmakers were planning to put $350 million into a “Republican slush fund.”
GOP cochairs: “These investments are above and beyond the billions in federal funding our school districts are receiving and highlight our continued commitment to our students, teachers, and parents.”
