Federal agents have returned to Milwaukee to interview police who worked Central Count on Election Night 2020, probing what officers saw and who moved where amid the chaos of absentee-ballot tabulation.

The FBI has asked to speak with as many as 30 Milwaukee police officers about events at the Baird Center on November 3, 2020, officials say. Those interviews are framed as witness interviews, not accusations, but they dig into actions that night around absentee ballot handling and transport.

Reports indicate agents want to know whether officers were kept out of rooms or asked to stand aside while election staff moved ballots or equipment. The focus appears to be on whether standard procedures were followed when canvassing and transporting critical data and media from tabulators.

The officers are not the targets of the investigation but rather possible witnesses to potential criminal behavior by election officials. Multiple sources said FBI agents want to know whether police officers assigned to Milwaukee’s Central Count facility at the Baird Center were told to leave rooms or not enter areas where suspicious activity was taking place.

Those sources Heartland Post that many of the interviews are centered on an incident in which former Milwaukee Election Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg had a police escort to deliver a flash drive containing the city’s tabulation of absentee ballots to be entered at the Milwaukee County Election Commission late on Election Night but then realized she had forgotten the drive at Central Count.

Woodall-Vogg said at the time that she called a Milwaukee Election Commission employee, who found the flash drive in a tabulator and handed it to a police officer to be transported to the Milwaukee County Election Commission. That officer is believed to have been contacted for an FBI interview, as have others in Woodall-Vogg’s police escort.

Milwaukee County Election Commission employee David J. Bolter said in a sworn affidavit that on November 4, 2020, it was “announced that a huge truckload of ballots were going to be delivered shortly.” Bolter added that the timing and scale “seemed odd” and that he was unsure whether such a delivery fit standard protocols. That affidavit has been cited as part of the reason agents are trying to recreate the timeline that night.

The FBI also visited the home of Milwaukee County Election Commission Director Michelle Hawley to discuss an interview, according to reporting from the time. Those visits are consistent with a broader federal effort to collect testimony and records from local election officials and staff. Agents appear to be cataloging who handled what and when, and whether any chain-of-custody gaps exist.

Local Democrats denounced the inquiries as harassment, with Milwaukee County Executive and gubernatorial candidate David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson calling the federal interviews an ‘act of intimidation.’ Those reactions are predictable when any investigation touches an election process, and they raise questions about political spin versus factual scrutiny.

This Milwaukee activity is part of a wider federal review of alleged irregularities tied to the 2020 cycle, with investigators tracing reports from several states. FBI leadership has signaled that the bureau has accumulated information it believes merits further action, and officials have not ruled out criminal referrals.

Embattled FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau has gathered “information” supporting President Donald Trump’s longstanding and debunked claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him – and that arrests are coming soon.

“I would say stay tuned this week. You might see a thing or two,” Patel said April 19 on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo” on Fox News.

Trump for years has repeated his claims that American elections are rigged and that the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden was essentially stolen from him due to voter fraud and other election problems.

Wisconsin skeptics point to a late vote surge in several counties that flipped the state for Joe Biden and to episodes where ballots and memory drives moved between locations under rushed conditions. That late swing and the logistics surrounding it remain central to many questions about how tabulation was handled in Milwaukee and elsewhere.

President Trump and others have raised doubts about parts of the 2020 count for years, while many Democrats label those concerns as election denialism. The new round of interviews means federal agents are treating some of those allegations as evidence worth testing through sworn testimony and records.
