GOP attorney Michael Gableman says he will force officials to sit for interviews, a day after calling off his subpoenas


MADISON - Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman perplexed mayors and election clerks this week by serving them subpoenas, pulling back on them and then making a string of contradictory statements about what they must do for his partisan election review.

Gableman insisted Friday in a radio interview he was still subpoenaing officials from Wisconsin's five largest cities to testify a day after his aide told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he was putting off the interviews for now.

His comments came less than four hours before another aide made clear in an email to a Madison official that an interview was canceled and a Green Bay official said the city clerk was no longer being asked by Gableman to testify.

Gableman's subpoenas to mayors and election officials are seeking all election records they possess, which would constitute hundreds of thousands if not millions of pages and demanded testimony from the clerks and mayors on Oct. 15 and Oct. 22.
