Lawyer named to investigate Nickolaus (Waukesha County clerk) complaint

Waukesha - A former Dane County deputy district attorney who is now a criminal defense attorney has notified the JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign that he is investigating the campaign's April 20 complaint accusing Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus of misconduct in carrying out her election duties.

Verhoff served in the Dane County district attorney's office beginning in 2000 as an assistant, then as deputy district attorney, before leaving in January to join attorney Corey Chirafisi in a new Madison law firm.

Nickolaus became the focus of complaints after she failed to include city of Brookfield votes in her unofficial election night results in the April 5 Supreme Court race. Nickolaus waited until two days later to explain her mistake in a news conference, but the foul-up prompted a torrent of criticism and cynicism over her alleged motives and partisanship.
