“Assembly Republicans have hired someone named Carol to help answer their questions about the 2020 election. Just don’t ask Carol or her bosses what her last name is. ‘No comment,’ she said Wednesday before hanging up on a reporter. The hiring of Carol is the latest example of the opacity of a review of the 2020 election being overseen by former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman at a cost to taxpayers of $676,000. Wisconsinites picked Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a margin of nearly 21,000 votes. Recounts and court rulings upheld those results and a legislative audit released last week did not identify any widespread fraud.”
“Republicans who control the Assembly and Gableman want further investigation and they’ve brought on Carol to help them. The woman, who signs her emails ‘Carol M.’ has been contacting attorneys for election officials recently to discuss subpoenas Gableman has issued. She has not told them whether she is a lawyer, an administrative assistant or holds some other post, the attorneys said. The names of state employees and their contractors are ordinarily public. No one has offered any justification for not disclosing Carol’s last name” – Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
