A southwest Wisconsin legislator is asking a state committee to verify the results of last week’s election. Representative Travis Tranel (R-Cuba City) has written a letter to fellow Representative Ron Tusler who chairs the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections. In his letter, Tranel says constituents have reached out to him asking the committee to conduct a full audit of the absentee ballots cast across the state.
“We certainly aren’t accusing anyone of anything, but auditing the absentee votes would go a long way toward restoring confidence in our election process and, I believe, may end up bringing people together,” said Tranel.
