Republicans Launching "Election Integrity" Tour in Wisconsin

Thursday, June 16th, 2022 -- 9:00 AM

(AP) The Republican Party is launching a nine-city “election integrity” tour hitting battleground Wisconsin’s most liberal cities, events that feature a conservative former state Supreme Court justice and that come less than two months before the state’s August primary.

The events, which kick off Wednesday in La Crosse where there is an open U.S. House seat and the state's famously liberal capital city of Madison, are drawing blowback from those who say the round tables are intended to spread lies about what happened during the 2020 election won by President Joe Biden and to mislead voters ahead of November's midterm election.

Republican organizers say the events are part of the GOP's effort in battleground states to connect staff and volunteers, and to recruit poll workers, observers and voting deputies.

The effort in Wisconsin is a continuation of the Republican election integrity operation that’s focused on 16 states, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia, said RNC spokeswoman Emma Vaughn.
