The invite-only public hearing is meant to give anecdotal evidence behind false claims of voter fraud that stem from President Trump and his supporters. Senator-Elect Agard (D-Madison) issued this statement regarding the hearing:
“The fact that we are having this sham hearing while the President is in court today trying to throw out 221,000 legally cast votes in Wisconsin shows us a Republican playbook aimed at destroying people’s faith in our democratic systems. Millions of Wisconsinites cast their ballots almost 40 days ago - those votes were counted, then recounted in two counties. It is past time that Legislative Republicans join the rest of us in the present and stop creating unnecessary chaos.” ### Melissa served on the Dane County Board and the Wisconsin State Assembly prior to being elected to represent the 16th Senate District. Concern for the greater community and a vision for a better Wisconsin brought her to public service and community activism. She is a proud mother of 4 boys, and lives on Madison’s northside. |
