Milwaukee residents' election complaint questions left's role in Wisconsin

The city of Milwaukee allowed liberal, third-party groups funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to set the rules and help administer November's presidential election, according to a complaint filed on behalf of five residents by an election watchdog.

Milwaukee, with the complaint filed by the Amistad Project, became the fourth of the so-called WI-5 cities to be accused of election law violations under state law and the U.S. Constitution as more details emerge about the five cities' partnerships with "Safe elections" groups.

Complaints focused on Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee are filed with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which has sought outside counsel because its administrator is accused of a conflict of interest.

Spitzer-Rubenstein and several other left-leaning activists in the Center for Tech and Civic Life's network played prominent roles in Milwaukee's election administration, according to emails obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight through an open records request.

Milwaukee city officials working with outside groups turned over responsibilities that solely belong to local elections officials and Wisconsin's election regulator, according to the complaint.

The Wisconsin Assembly's Campaigns and Elections Committee is investigating the involvement of third-party groups in the state's 2020 elections.

Reid Magney, spokesman for the Wisconsin Elections Commission, said the agency had received the Milwaukee complaint and posted it on its website.
