Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is directing a legislative committee to investigate the presidential election vote tally process.

In a statement on the matter Vos did not express any opinion backing up President Trump’s claims of “voter irregularities” but did say the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections would look into voter concerns.

“I am directing the committee to use its investigatory powers under Wisconsin SS 13.31 to immediately review how the election was administered,” Vos said in a statement. “With concerns surfacing about mail-In ballot dumps and voter fraud, Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their vote counted. There should be no question as to wether the vote was fair and legitimate, and there must be absolute certainty that the impending recount find any and all irregularities.”

Vos praised those working the elections, noting he was not being critical of their work.

“I encourage all citizens to volunteer to participate in the recount in their respective communities and take an active role in ensuring fair elections,” he said.

“Wisconsin’s elections system is one of the best run the county’ We have well-trained staff that finished counting the ballots well before most other states. However, we can always look for ways to improve it even more. I hope the committee investigates the inefficiency of Milwaukee’s central counting of absentee ballots, as well as the removal of voters from the rolls who no longer live here.”

Vos just won re-election to the 63rd Assembly District.
