Souls to the Polls Wisconsin ramps up calls for GOP official's resignation
A Milwaukee-based voting rights group is ramping up calls for the resignation of the Wisconsin Republican Party’s director over comments he made during the 2020 election.
Souls to the Polls, which provides Election Day transportation primarily to low-income people and people of color, called for Andrew Iverson to step down from his role in state politics because of suggestions he made over text message that Republicans use the group’s services in an attempt to “wreak havoc.”
At a press conference Monday, Rev. Greg Lewis, the group’s director, called on Iverson to “have some integrity, admit what you’ve done and remove yourself from leadership.”
The state party has maintained that Iverson’s comments were taken out of context and that they’ve been conflated with comments by Carlton Huffman, an embattled former GOP operative who was recently fired from a job at the North Carolina statehouse after white supremacist media appearances came to light.
