Democrats’ Operative Got Secret Internet Connection at Wisconsin Election Center where the Ballots were Counted, Emails Show

A former Democratic operative intricately involved in Green Bay's November election was given access to "Hidden" identifiers for the internet network at the hotel convention center where ballots were counted, according to new emails obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight.

Green Bay city officials insist the presidential election was "Administered exclusively by City staff." But the emails show Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, Wisconsin State lead for the National Vote at Home Institute, had a troubling amount of contact with election administration.

"I'll have my team create two separate SSID's for you," Trent Jameson, director of Event Technology at Green Bay's Hyatt Regency and KI Convention Center, where the city Central Count was located on Election Day, wrote to Spitzer-Rubenstein.

As Wisconsin Spotlight first reported, Spitzer-Rubenstein and his National Vote at Home Institute were heavily involved in Green Bay's election process.

Spitzer-Rubenstein, with an impressive political resume working for Democratic politicians and campaigns, had significant influence over the administration of the presidential election in Green Bay and, it appears, in Milwaukee.

Despite the city's assertions that Spitzer-Rubenstein did not have the keys to the KI Center where the absentee ballots were, a hotel contract obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight shows the keys were to be delivered to Spitzer-Rubenstein.

Sandy Juno, former Brown County clerk who has accused the city of Green Bay of going "Rogue" in its handling of the election, said she found the use of the secretive internet access points "Unusual." Spitzer-Rubenstein is shown in photos working on a laptop by a printer at central count on election night.
