The FBI tried to interview one of the top elections officials in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, according to the county clerks office. An FBI agent visited the home of county Elections Director Michelle Hawley and left her business card, County Clerk George Christenson said in a statement Wednesday.
It is unfortunate that the FBI chose to visit the private residence of Milwaukee Countys Elections Director rather than contact the Election Commissions office directly, Christenson said. No dedicated public servant should be subjected to that type of intrusion simply for carrying out her responsibilities with integrity and professionalism.
Christenson said the county will follow up to determine the nature of the visit but added that the 2020 Presidential Election was fair and transparent, and its results are accurate.
This has been proven repeatedly over the last six years by the post-election canvass, the Presidential Election Recount, State court-based challenge, Federal court-based challenge, the forensic audit by the Wisconsins Legislative Audit Bureau, and two additional independent audits, he said. Continuing to relitigate settled questions does not strengthen public confidence in elections but it undermines it.
