The commissioner, Bob Spindell, praised Jack Posobiec, a far-right agitator who is known for spreading conspiracies and disinformation on the Trump-friendly One America News Network. The six-member Wisconsin Election Commission, which includes Spindell, oversees the state's elections. Since the election, Posobiec has repeatedly promoted false claims about the election being stolen from Trump, citing the discredited conspiracies that Trump's legal team is pushing. Trump and his lawyers have pushed baseless accusations of massive voter fraud while he refuses to concede. In an interview with CNN, Spindell repeatedly raised the possibility of widespread fraud.
