AP FACT CHECK: Wisconsin Election Probe Ignores Some Facts

You have already posted the usnews link. It's by Scott Bauer, who wrote one of the other links in your earlier post.
The Gableman report :
"In Wisconsin, election officials’ unprecedented use of absentee ballot drop boxes
facially violated Wisconsin law."
"WEC Commissioners sent a
memo to municipal clerks dated August 19, 2020, (the “August 2020 WEC
Memo”) stating that absentee ballots do not need to be mailed by the voter
or delivered by the voter, in person, to the municipal clerk but instead could
be dropped into a drop box and that the ballot drop boxes could be unstaffed,
temporary, or permanent. (A true and correct copy of the August 2020 WEC
Memo is attached hereto as Exhibit B.)"
Gableman uses the term "unprecedented". Bauer uses the term "widespread". "Widespread" is not an issue unless the location of the drop boxes favors a political party. "Unprecedented" is an issue when the WEC memo allows for the boxes to be unstaffed.
Wisconsin statute 8.855 (cited in the Gableman report) includes "(3) An alternate site under sub. (1) shall be staffed by the municipal clerk or the executive director of the board of election commissioners, or employees of the clerk or the board of election commissioners."
Nice try Mr. Bauer, but widespread is but one issue in the use of drop boxes.
On the nursing home issue, Bauer says "State election commissioners have defended their move....."
The non-partisan legislative audit bureau "determined that the commission broke the law "
These two lines are in Bauer's article. lol.
I'm not sure what Bauer is fact-checking other than presenting his opinion on how he thinks should be done.
