Two Wisconsin Republican state lawmakers said that Wisconsin should authorize an audit of the 2020 election that’s similar to the one that’s being conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona, after they traveled to the county to observe the process.

State Rep. Janel Brandtjen, a Republican who chairs the Campaigns and Elections Committee, said that a review of the election is needed due to the significant amount of private funding that was used in several major cities in Wisconsin, according to WisPolitics. However, the lawmaker said she isn’t sure if the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau has that authority.
