>> Reporter: The complaint, filed by the liberal group, Law Forward, was about the 2020 slate of fake Wisconsin GOP electoral ballots cast for Donald Trump.
In a closed meeting last year, the WEC unanimously rejected the complaint.
That was after the Wisconsin Department of Justice decided with the Republican electors' argument that their actions were a precaution while Trump's challenges to the election were still moving through the courts.
The WEC must take up the complaint again, except without Commissioner Bob Spindell, who acted as one of the false electors, but refused to recuse himself from the Commission's vote on the complaint.
