One of the fake electors from WI is on the Elections Commission, won't recuse from complaint






Attorneys warn they will take case over fake electors to court if Wisconsin officials don't act soon

In Wisconsin, an arm of the Services Employees International Union filed a complaint in February 2021 with the Elections Commission. The union is represented by Mandell and Barnes, who are part of Law Forward, a liberal non-profit center based in Madison that focuses on voting issues.

The commission has been handling the case in secret and its deliberations have been complicated because one of its members, Bob Spindell, was one of the 10 Republicans who met as presidential electors. Spindell has refused to step down from the case as a commissioner and has claimed his colleagues have tried to force him off of it.

Bob Spindell, a Republican member of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Normally the commission meets privately to consider complaints and after weeks or months issues decisions. Those who lose can then take their cases to circuit court.

With their letter Wednesday, Mandell and Barnes essentially argued the commission's failure to act amounted to a dismissal of their complaint. They said they would have "no choice" but to bring a lawsuit if the commission doesn't act soon or provide information about how it is handling the case.
