The chairwoman of the Republican-led Wisconsin State Assembly’s elections committee announced the issuance of subpoenas to two counties requesting materials in pursuit of a “top-to-bottom” investigation into the 2020 election.

State Rep. Janel Brandtjen said Friday that Milwaukee and Brown counties were the subpoena recipients, an announcement that followed her commitment on July 26 to “helping facilitate” a “comprehensive, forensic examination” of the election in search of fraud and other improprieties.
