(Bob Hague, WRN) State lawmakers are reacting to a the release of a non-partisan audit of Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election.

The report from the Legislative Audit Bureau found voting machines to be accurate, and no widespread fraud. But it also makes multiple recommendations regarding state elections laws and procedures.

Green Bay Republican state Senator Rob Cowles said in a tweet, “despite concerns with statewide elections procedures, this audit showed us that the election was largely safe and secure.”

Cowles, who co-chairs the committee which oversees the Audit Bureau, added that the audit clearly shows the need to make changes to those laws and procedures.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said the audit, “proves why further investigation is necessary.” A partisan, taxpayer funded election probe ordered by Vos is being overseen by former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.
