Letter to the Editor: Investigation of November Election a Wild-Goose Chase

The Wisconsin Republican legislature is planning an “investigation” of the November election, using taxpayer funds for attorney fees, travel, communications and “data analysis” of voting machines in Wisconsin.

The investigation will cost $676,000 in tax dollars for what? A wild-goose chase, given that the election has been investigated numerous times, all challenges showing no evidence of fraud. This project of the Republican “leadership” promotes and prolongs the hysteria and extreme divisiveness that plagues our society.

It is actually a terrible insult to all the election officials, poll workers and volunteers who worked so hard to enable the right to vote during the pandemic to suggest that for the first time in America, our election was not fairly conducted and fairly won.

Please join me in urging our Republican Rep. Joel Kitchens to use his elected voice, his citizen’s voice and his ethical voice to stand against those of his colleagues who continue to enable the false argument that the election was stolen. We need to hear from him directly, to say what he believes!
