Voting machine company won't comply with Wisconsin subpoena

[Ellipsis]

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Nebraska-based voting machine company told the Republican-hired attorney leading an investigation into the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin that it will not comply with subpoenas issued seeking a broad array of information.

Attorneys for Election Systems & Software told former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman in a letter dated Jan. 21 that it would not comply, calling the subpoenas issued last month a “quintessential fishing expedition.” The letter was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press after it was first reported on by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Gableman has subpoenaed the mayors of Wisconsin's five largest cities, the state's top elections official, an immigrant rights group, ES&S and Dominion Voting Systems as part of his ongoing probe ordered after President Joe Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in the battleground state.

Subpoenas to the elections commission, Voces de la Frontera and mayors of Green Bay and Madison are being fought in court.

ES&S made clear it will not comply, telling Gableman in the letter that the company “is under no obligation to respond to any of the subpoenas.” The letter was signed by attorneys Michael Cox, Daniel Fischer and Michael Maistelman.

1. We'll, I'm glad to see this. It's too bad the rethugs are trying to use the courts in their sedition

Their crap is clogging the wheels, and while they try to use it for their own purposes, they ignore subpoenas to themselves. The hypocrisy knows no limits.

2. Mmm Hmmmm... something smells fishy....

One wonders if Kathy Nicklaus is currently loading a bunch of phony tRump votes onto her private laptop that will magically be 'found'???

4. Subpoena means "under penalty."

Do words have no meaning anymore? Anyone can just ignore a subpoena?

This may be a fishing expedition, and ES&S might be dirty; both can be true if they're looking for the wrong things. But to just say “We won't comply with the law” is a dangerous precedent.
