A Wisconsin county's chief elections clerk implied he won't comply with a subpoena issued by a Republican lawmaker demanding ballots and voting machines be turned over to a GOP-controlled legislative committee next week, the Associated Press reported.

Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson spoke with the AP Thursday, implying that he was refusing to comply as the subpoena required the signature of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to be valid. The Legislature's nonpartisan attorneys issued memos noting the required signature.

"It's common knowledge that the [Legislature's attorneys] have issued two memos indicating the subpoena is invalid," Christenson said. "Speaker Vos has indicted he's not signing them, so I believe one can guess our response. However, we wanted to do our due diligence."

State Representative Janel Brandtjen, chairwoman of the Assembly Elections Committee, issued subpoenas to election clerks in Milwaukee and Brown counties on August 6 ordering them to appear before her committee at noon on Tuesday with the requested material.

6. Well

I wonder if their wonder boy Paul Ryan will ever get a vote again after his “Trump Lost” statements?

7. Well, Ms. Brandtjen, if you happen to have a few million bucks...

...to replace the machines that will have to be decertified, then we'll talk. (I mean you, Ms. Brandtjen, not the taxpayers of WI.)

12. Brandtjen is the loon who a few years back, who was in

support of a bill cutting off all funding to Planned Parenthood, charging that it encourages “young women with promiscuous lifestyles.” She wants Wisconsin to have a fiasco like Arizona. She and Vos are going down on tfg big time. God I hate what Wisconsin is becoming. Wasting over $680,000.00 for an unnecessary audit - money that should be spent actually benefitting the people.

14. with gerrymandering so deep in WI, it is hard to get rid of the Red legislators. But we try. More

Dems vote in WI, and yet these Trumpy's are in control. Thank the angels for our Dem Gov at least.

[riversedge]

13. So, chickensh** Vos who wants the audit will not sign the papers. What are you afraid of? Maybe

getting sued?? Vos is not a leader, just an old trumpy supporter.
