Ex-Wisconsin justice poised to lose law license over 2020 election review
April 8 (Reuters) - A former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who led a Republican review of the state's 2020 election results has agreed to surrender his law license after he was accused of violating Wisconsin's professional rules for lawyers.
The former justice, Michael Gableman, filed a stipulation, opens new tab with the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) on Monday to suspend his license for three years. The agreement requires approval from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has final say on all disciplinary matters.
Gableman said in the filing that a November 2024 complaint OLR filed against him provides "an adequate factual basis in the record" and that he "cannot successfully defend against" the allegations.
A spokesperson for OLR declined to comment. An attorney for Gableman, who served on the state high court from 2008 to 2018, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos hired Gableman in June 2021 to investigate alleged voter fraud in Wisconsin's 2020 presidential election. Vos later fired Gableman in August 2022.
