## Resource

This hour tackles a mix of transportation, politics, and local issues shaping Wisconsin. We begin with the 5 O'Clock Focus on a proposed Milwaukee County ordinance that would impose speed limits on e-bikes and crack down on high-speed motorized bicycles along popular trails like the Oak Leaf. Then, TMJ4 Chief Political Reporter Charles Benson joins the show to discuss a new federal investigation into alleged voter fraud, what Homeland Security is saying about Wisconsin's role, and what election officials and prosecutors are watching as the 2026 campaign season heats up. Plus, a look at the questions, concerns, and political implications surrounding election integrity in one of the nation's most closely watched battleground states.
