A county clerk in Wisconsin claims {that a} Federal Bureau of Investigation agent tried to interview a county election director at his residence and launched an announcement defending the state’s dealing with of the 2020 presidential election.
“I can confirm that a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited the home of my Elections Director and left her business card,” Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson stated in an announcement on Thursday morning.
“We will be following up to determine the nature of this visit. It is unfortunate that the FBI chose to visit the private residence of Milwaukee County’s Elections Director rather than contact the Election Commission’s office directly. No dedicated public servant should be subjected to that type of intrusion simply for carrying out their responsibilities with integrity and professionalism.”
Christenson went on to defend the state’s dealing with of the 2020 presidential election as “fair and transparent” and stated “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 Wisconsin’s Legislative Audit Bureau, and two additional independent audits. Continuing to relitigate settled questions does not strengthen public confidence in elections but it undermines it.”

“While we cooperate with all legitimate law enforcement actions, we will defend against any attack on our democracy and will defend the rights of voters of Milwaukee County,” Christenson wrote. “Our responsibility as election officials is to safeguard the integrity of the process through facts, transparency, and adherence to the law, and the record clearly demonstrates that those standards were met in 2020.”
Christenson went on to recommend the FBI’s actions are an “attack on democracy.”
