MILWAUKEE — FBI agents questioned former Milwaukee poll worker David Bolter regarding his observations during the 2020 election. Agents also questioned another former Milwaukee poll worker named Christine concerning a 2020 election affidavit she submitted.

Donald Trump cited Bolter's claims in a 2020 lawsuit that sought to invalidate over 220,000 votes in Wisconsin. Invalidating these votes would have transferred Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes from Joe Biden to Donald Trump. Courts, election reviews, and audits rejected the fraud claims related to the 2020 Wisconsin election.

Bolter alleged in a 2020 affidavit that an announcement occurred around midnight on Election Day. This announcement concerned a large delivery of ballots to a Milwaukee absentee ballot counting facility. Christine stated in her 2020 affidavit that she observed workers continuing to count ballots past midnight, despite being informed that all votes were already counted.

During an interview, FBI agents showed Christine a photograph of former Milwaukee election chief Claire Woodall. Christine identified Woodall by name after viewing the photograph. No arrests related to the 2020 election investigation have been announced, according to public records.

David Becker, an elections researcher and executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said, "This isn’t about the 2020 election, this is about the 2026 and 2028 elections. This is about intimidating election officials. This is about creating a stream of disinformation designed to delegitimize an election the president may believe he’s going to lose." The five-year statute of limitations for most potential federal charges related to the 2020 election has expired.
