Special counsel Michael Gableman now tells Republicans the Legislature can’t decertify its electoral votes.
Gableman says he isn’t reversing himself with the statement.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says Gableman made the comments to the party’s entire leadership team last week.
The former justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court was hired last summer to review the 2020 presidential election.
He gained national attention when he presented a report to the Assembly Elections Committee saying he believed the Legislature “ought to take a very hard look at the option of decertification.”
Most experts on the left and right politically said that was legally impossible.
Now, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke says Gableman’s position is you could do it but it wouldn’t have any practical effect.
