FBI visits to Wisconsin election officials’ homes raise pressure around 2020 review

The FBI’s 2020 election review has reportedly reached front doors in Wisconsin. Agents have been contacting current and former election officials around Milwaukee, including a visit to the private home of Milwaukee County’s elections director, according to local officials and new national reporting. That is the part that makes this feel less like paperwork and more like pressure: election administration is supposed to happen in offices, under rules, with records and lawyers — not by surprise business card on the porch. In a swing state, even the doorbell now sounds political.
