There is a person in the state of Wisconsin. The former state Supreme Court justice's contract is nearing an end, and a judge ordered an investigator in Wisconsin to stop deletion of records.

The GOP-controlled Legislature should look into the legally impossible move of decertifying the victory of President Joe Biden, suggested Michael Gableman, who has released two interim reports on the election. Republican leaders, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos who hired Gableman, have repeatedly said they have no intention of trying to decertify the win.

Gableman did not include evidence to back up the false claims that Donald Trump won Wisconsin in 2020.

Biden's win over Trump has withstood many audits and lawsuits. Vos ordered the review by Gableman last summer under pressure from Trump and others who claimed the election was stolen.

Gableman's work is being sued by several groups, including three brought by American Oversight. It requested documents from Vos and Gableman. Vos was found in contempt for failing to turn over records.

The judge told Gableman not to destroy any records that may be responsive to the group's open records requests.

After Gableman's attorney told American Oversight that it routinely deleted documents and text messages that were not used in the investigation, Remington made the order.

The Legislative Council, attorneys who advise the Legislature, said in October that the deletion of records by a state contractor is a violation of Wisconsin law.

James Bopp has argued in court that the record retention law does not apply to contractors. Bopp didn't return a message Thursday.

All responsive records have been turned over and Bopp told American Oversight that all materials will be made public once the investigation is complete. Bopp said that Gableman's office evaluates documents, including text messages and emails, to determine if they are relevant to the investigation. Bopp said that those determined to be relevant are retained and deleted.

The records were deleted by Gableman's office.

The Office of Special Counsel would have kept and released records of its work if it was above board. The inquiry is an attempt to undermine free and fair elections.

Gableman's current contract runs through the end of April, but he has indicated in recent interviews that he does not expect it to be extended.

The records the judge said did not support the conclusions made in Gableman's latest report were released in March.
