A circuit judge on Thursday found the Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, in contempt of court for refusing to turn over documents relating to the state's recount of the 2020 presidential election.
"Robin Vos had delegated the search for contractors' records to an employee who did nothing more than send one vague email to one contractor," wrote Dane County Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn. "Putting aside for the moment the impropriety of making a contractor responsible for a records request … Robin Vos did not tell [sic] that contractor which records to produce, did not ask any of the other contractors to produce records, and did not even review the records ultimately received. Still worse, the Assembly did nothing at all."
Bailey-Rihn has ordered Vos to release the materials within fourteen days or pay a daily fine of $1,000 any time after that, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Bailey-Rihn established that, if the documents aren't provided, Vos must provide an explanation...
In October, nonpartisan watchdog American Oversight filed a lawsuit against Vos and the Wisconsin State Assembly demanding that the judge release records detailing the investigation – a request that Bailey-Rihn has now affirmed.
"Speaker Vos and the Assembly have had ample opportunity to comply with the court's order and produce records," Bailey-Rihn wrote.

Oh yes, I edited out the usual media propaganda about Trump’s well-founded claims of voter fraud.
He is hiding the fraud. He turns it over and it’s over. Or he stole the money perhaps.
Society disintegrates when people choose to ignore the law. Only thugs rule then.
Have you been paying attention for the last dozen or so years?🥴
That process is well advanced now. We are ruled by thieves. They enforce their orders with the assistance of thugs. They usually win and carry off what they want. Once in a while they lose. But they remain in power and get to try again. That "remaining" part seems to be the crux of the problem.
I do not know how we return to "Rule-of-Law" at this point. I do know that obeying "laws" written by criminals does not work.
The results, the evidence and records from which the results were drawn,the accounting, and the contracts should have all been in Vos’s office just as result of the work having been done. All she should have had to do was to ask “the employee” to photocopy the relevant files and send them to the court.
We are wasting so much money paying so many people who are not doing their jobs, it is pitiful.
Vos is male. Barely.
The hair dressers from CA pretend to know where WI is on the map.
“Isn’t it up in the wine country somewhere?”
Oh, no! I misgendered him!
“Society disintegrates when people choose to ignore the law.”
Or maybe we establish a new order called the United States of America in 1776.
Never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name. Especially a judge.
Is “Salon” really the best source for this story? Under most circumstances, I wouldn’t believe a word they write.
