Wisconsin's Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul declined to say whether he's investigating Wisconsinites who are accused of trying to subvert the 2020 election by casting fake electoral votes.

On Tuesday, Michigan's AG Dana Nessel put a spotlight on the issue when she announced felony charges against 16 Michiganders who signed certificates falsely attesting to former President Donald Trump's victory and sent them to the National Archives.......................
........................
That includes 10 Wisconsinites who are being sued in Dane County Circuit Court over their actions. The use of false electors is also part of a federal criminal investigation by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith into the Jan. 6 insurrection and other efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

But some have argued Wisconsin's AG should prosecute this state's false electors for potential violations of state law, as well. In a statement Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for Kaul didn't say whether the AG's office is currently pursuing such an investigation or whether it would consider one in the future.
.....................


"Attorney General Kaul strongly believes that those who committed crimes in an effort to unlawfully subvert the outcome of an election should be held accountable.”

Kaul’s hands are tied by our stupid GQP legislators.
