华盛顿——密尔沃基县书记员办公室周四上午发表声明称，联邦调查局试图约谈该县选举主管。
县书记员乔治·克里斯坦森表示，一名联邦调查局特工到访了该县选举主管的私人住宅，并留下了一张名片。
“令人遗憾的是，联邦调查局选择到访密尔沃基县选举主管的私人住宅，而非直接联系选举委员会办公室。任何尽职尽责的公职人员都不应仅仅因为以诚信和专业精神履行职责，就遭受此类侵扰，”克里斯坦森说道，并补充该县将“跟进调查此次到访的性质”。
密尔沃基县是威斯康星州人口最多的县，同名城市也坐落于此。2020年大选期间，乔·拜登在该县459723张选票中获得了近70%的支持率，并以仅两万多张的票数优势拿下该州。2020年12月，特朗普团队提起诉讼，试图取消密尔沃基县和戴恩县超过20万张选票的资格，但最终未获成功。
克里斯坦森在声明中为该县的选举程序进行了辩护。
“2020年总统大选公平透明，选举结果准确无误。过去六年来，事后点票、总统选举重新计票、州法院挑战、联邦法院挑战、威斯康星州立法审计局的法医审计以及另外两项独立审计已多次证明了这一点。反复对已定论的问题提起诉讼，并不会增强公众对选举的信心，反而会削弱这种信心，”他说道。
这位书记员补充称，该县将配合“所有合法的”执法行动，但会“捍卫针对我们民主的任何攻击，并捍卫密尔沃基县选民的权利”。
联邦调查局未立即回应置评请求。
此次在密尔沃基县已获证实的调查，进一步加剧了特朗普政府对2020年大选失利的摇摆州及其选举官员发起的施压运动。联邦官员还在审查佐治亚州富尔顿县和密歇根州韦恩县的选举材料。

FBI sought to interview top election official in Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County

Washington— The FBI attempted to interview the director of elections in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, the county clerk’s office said in a statement Thursday morning.
George Christenson, the county clerk, said an FBI agent visited the home of the county’s elections director and left a business card.
“It is unfortunate that the FBI chose to visit the private residence of Milwaukee County’s Elections Director rather than contact the Election Commission’s office directly. No dedicated public servant should be subjected to that type of intrusion simply for carrying out her responsibilities with integrity and professionalism,” Christenson said, adding the county would be “following up to determine the nature of this visit.”
Milwaukee County is Wisconsin’s most populous county and home to the city of the same name. Joe Biden captured nearly 70% of the 459,723 votes cast there in the 2020 election, and won the state overall by just over 20,000 votes. In December 2020, the Trump campaign unsuccessfully sued, seeking to disqualify over 200,000 ballots in Milwaukee and Dane Counties.

Christenson defended the county’s election processes in his statement.
“The 2020 Presidential Election was fair and transparent, and its results are accurate. This has been proven repeatedly over the last six years by the post-election canvass, the Presidential Election Recount, State court-based challenge, Federal court-based challenge, the forensic audit by the Wisconsin’s Legislative Audit Bureau, and two additional independent audits. Continuing to relitigate settled questions does not strengthen public confidence in elections but it undermines it,” he said.
The clerk added that the county would cooperate with “all legitimate” law enforcement activity, but will “defend against any attack on our democracy and will defend the rights of voters of Milwaukee County.”
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The now-confirmed investigation in Milwaukee adds to the pressure campaign the Trump administration launched against swing states and officials who ran elections in localities that President Trump lost in 2020. Federal officials are also examining election material from Fulton County, Georgia, and Wayne County, Michigan.
