The FBI recently attempted to interview the director of elections in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, by visiting her home, which the county clerk, George Christenson, criticized as an unnecessary intrusion. Milwaukee County, a key area in the 2020 election where Joe Biden won a significant majority, has been under scrutiny since the Trump campaign’s unsuccessful attempt to disqualify ballots there. Christenson defended the integrity of the county’s election process, citing multiple audits and recounts that confirmed the election’s fairness and accuracy. He emphasized the importance of moving past settled election disputes to maintain public confidence in the democratic process. The FBI’s visit is part of a broader investigation into election activities in swing states that Trump lost in 2020, including ongoing examinations in Georgia and Michigan. The FBI has not commented on the situation.
