We’ve been investigating Wisconsin’s partisan election review since May 2021.

Last week, we published several new documents and had significant developments in our ongoing litigation for related records. Here’s what you should know.

On Friday, Jan. 21, a judge ordered Michael Gableman, the attorney running Wisconsin’s partisan investigation of the 2020 election, to turn over to the court within 10 days sealed copies of records related to the inquiry.

The court also ordered Gableman to appear in person this Thursday to allow the court to assess whether he was properly served after we filed our lawsuit; Gableman’s lawyer maintains, contrary to record evidence, that he was not.

The hearing also brought up uncertainty about whether Gableman has a proper contract with the Assembly to conduct the investigation. The court ordered the Assembly to submit a copy of Gableman’s contract by today, Jan. 25.

Last week, we obtained and published records showing that the office spent more than $63,000 on staff salaries in December — including $11,000 for Gableman himself — up from a total staff budget of $28,250 in September.

We also obtained new documents that shine a light on Wisconsin officials’ ongoing efforts to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election, including attacks on the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.
