MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul warns that efforts akin to the Republican false elector scheme of 2020 would be subject to Department of Justice scrutiny.
In an interview with WisPolitics, Kaul said anyone behind such efforts would be held accountable.
“We also are clear that if there are efforts to intimidate voters or to illegally threaten election officials, people need to be expect to be held accountable,” Kaul said. “And if there are efforts to overturn the results, we are prepared to defend them, as my administration did in 2020 and if people commit crimes in trying to do that, they need to expect to be held accountable as well.”
Kaul’s DOJ filed criminal charges against three people, Kenneth Chesebro, James Troupis and Michael Roman, who are alleged to have been involved in the false elector scheme.
