Months before he was hired, Gableman appeared at a November 7, 2020, rally and said he believed the Wisconsin election had been stolen.

Gableman's blunders and extreme legal steps taken during the investigation prompted calls for the review to be shut down.

During the course of the probe, he threatened to jail local officials who refused to answer his questions in private interviews.

And a memo uncovered by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel earlier this year appeared to show Gableman's team probing the backgrounds of public employees.

One case -- part of a document entitled "Cross Pollinators" and posted on the special counsel's website -- concluded that a Milwaukee city employee was likely a Democrat because she "has a weird nose ring," plays video games, "loves nature and snakes" and lives with her boyfriend although they are not married.

Gableman's inquiry also faced several lawsuits, related to open records requests.

State Sen.

Melissa Agard, a Democrat who is a member of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, said a formal audit should be conducted into the investigation, which she said was authorized to spend over $1.3 million.

"After many other analyses of Wisconsin's 2020 election, there have been no demonstrations of widespread or significant fraud that affected the outcome of our election," Agard said in a written statement.
