According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says the retired police officers will spend three months on the taxpayer-funded investigation.
Vos maintained he is not trying to change the results of the election and said he recognizes President Joe Biden won Wisconsin.
He said he hopes the investigators can get to the bottom of issues Republicans have raised unsuccessfully in court.
"Is there a whole lot of smoke or is there actual fire? We just don't know yet," Vos said.

Palestinian child at destroyed house after the municipality workers demolish their house in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Tzur Baher, Tuesday, Oct. 27. 2009. This was not an image from the New York Times article North focuses on in this piece.
Reporters David Halbfinger and Adam Rasgon looked closely at the lives of 6 West Bank Palestinians, and photographers Dan Balilty and Samar Hazboun provided 9 humane photographs. The article opened by describing how Muhammad Sandouka, a 42-year-old construction worker, built his home in occupied East Jerusalem — and then had to demolish it himself after Israeli authorities ordered him to raze it to "improve views of the Old City for tourists." Israeli said it would charge him $10,000 for expenses if he didn't tear his home down himself. There's a painful photo of him standing amid its rubble.
This week, an Austin, Texas based juice company called Juiceland had to close five locations and limit the hours of multiple others due to their workers going on strike. Normally, something like this would pass over my radar, but I personally have fond and absurd memories of the establishment.
Juiceland is a caricature of the city of Austin — it's pretentious about not being pretentious. The storefronts are typically stripped down, un-air conditioned areas covered by social justice stickers and are run by a staff of vegan, unshaven, pronoun-announcing hipsters who sell $10 juice. I know this, because when I lived in Austin, I had a frequent buyer card — nothing makes you feel healthier than drinking a cup of something that tastes just a little better than dirt and paying an arm and a leg for it — and I say all of that to say this — it is no shock to me that this company is now hurting due to who they hire.
"So, it's interesting with Florida, the media at the beginning of this said Florida was bad. I think it's because they wanted to damage Trump and Florida — wanted to damage me. So they just kept saying it was bad even though the facts didn't say it. Like, literally, last April they were saying Florida is doing worse than New York. New York was like 10 times worse. So I think what it did is, the people that buy those phony narratives from these media, they probably aren't coming to Florida. But most people see through it. The people that see through it, they think like us."
Comment: The video is a refreshing discussion on survival and revival of America from states that bucked the system. Governors: Kristi Noem-South Dakota, Ron DeSantis-Florida, Chris Sununu-New Hampshire, Kim Reynolds-Iowa, Doug Ducey-Arizona, Bill Lee-Tennessee.
"He is either grossly incompetent or he has been lying to the American people the whole time," the Pennsylvania Republican maintained on Fox News' Fox and Friends. "Look, I'm a lawyer; I'm not a scientist. But just look at the evidence."
Reschenthaler said he was "skeptical" of Fauci, now President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, "from the very beginning of this," including in January 2020, when "he said America has nothing to worry about regarding this virus."
Fauci criticized then-President Donald Trump for ordering a travel ban from China, "and then he said that decision was why President Trump actually saved lives," said Reschenthaler.
"He blatantly lied to Congress about masks and the American people, saying they don't help, and then he said that, 'oh, no, I was lying so we could hoard PPE.' He has been wrong this entire time."
Comment: To simplify: Fauci is a disinformation disseminator and, as such, a useful idiot.

In this file photo taken on February 18, 2021 a healthcare worker holds a dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine against the COVID-19 coronavirus at the Klerksdorp Hospital.
The research, led by Professor Rolf Marschalek from Goethe University, in Frankfurt, was published on Wednesday. It suggests the problem lies with the adenovirus vector technology used in the vaccines. Viral vector vaccines use a modified version of a different virus to deliver important instructions to the nucleus of cells so as to produce a spike protein and trigger an immune response in the body.
Dr Marschalek and his team believe some parts of the spike protein split apart and create 'mutant' versions that trigger the blood clots, in what the paper termed the "Vaccine-Induced Covid-19 Mimicry" syndrome. The study suggests vaccine manufacturers could alter the sequence of the spike protein to prevent unintended splitting and "increase the safety of these pharmaceutical products."
It is the small kernel of truth that makes the lie succeed.
Consider the 'Rona. A small kernel of truth - some people were getting sick - used to propagate the lie that everyone was at risk of getting dead. Unless, of course, they accepted a one-size-fits-all regime of "lockdowns" and "practiced" patently silly (and incredibly dehumanizing) sickness kabuki, including the wearing of something over their faces - it didn't matter whether it served any medical purpose - so long as people turned themselves into NPC people by effacing their faces.
It succeeded.
America became a kind of sickness gulag. Millions of people have been turned into possibly permanently damaged weaponized hypochondriacs, obsessed with sickness and death - because of a concerted, deliberate campaign of mass hysteria intended to create the impression of mass death impending. All of it premised on the nugget of truth that some people were dying . . . almost all of them people already dying from other things, such as old age and cardiac/respiratory problems, possibly pushed over the edge by the 'Rona.
The truth is that very few people have died of the 'Rona, as opposed to with the 'Rona. It is an important distinction. If someone is killed in a car crash and they are found - at autopsy - to have clogged arteries, it does not mean they died because their arteries were clogged. To assign the death to "cardiovascular disease" rather than the car crash is inaccurate and misleading. To do it to inflate heart death numbers is deliberately misleading.
The big truth - actively suppressed - is that very few people are at significant risk of dying from the 'Rona. It is why almost all of us have not died over the past year, including the millions who refused to practice kabuki.
The state's acting premier James Merlino announced the new weeklong "circuit breaker" lockdown on Thursday, telling reporters that the fresh outbreak would become "increasingly uncontrollable" in the absence of "drastic" action.
"We're dealing with a highly infectious strain of the virus, a variant of concern, which is running faster than we have ever recorded," Merlino said during a press briefing in the state capital of Melbourne.
After Eastern Ghouta's liberation in 2018, the Western media predictably went silent on the return of internally displaced Syrians and the rebuilding that had occurred. Today, in towns in the region outside the capital Damascus, behind dusty, battered metal shop shutters, I saw glossy new windows and even more rebuilding than I had when I was here in 2018.
In Douma, I saw lovely, smiling children, excited to practice their English with me. Given that they were born during the war and lived under the horrifically savage rule of the rebel groups Jaysh al-Islam and Faylaq al-Rahman, and their co-terrorists, their exuberance was remarkable. The traumas they endured they have either deeply buried within or miraculously healed from.
Since both the media and leaders in the West made such a big deal over the Douma chemical hoax, it was particularly rewarding to see life in the streets again.
'Final Account' is a collection of interviews with elderly, ordinary Germans recounting their experiences of life under the collective madness of the Nazi regime and their connection to, or complicity with, the Holocaust.
The film opens with a quote from Primo Levi. "Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions."
Director Luke Holland, whose mother lost her family in the Holocaust and who himself died of cancer in 2020 after the film's completion, but before its premiere, goes on to prove Levi's thesis.
