Wisconsin Elections Commission ‘Shattered’ Laws By Telling Nursing Home Staffers To Illegally Cast Ballots For Residents

An "Election statute was in fact not just broken, but shattered by members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission," Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said during a Thursday press conference in which he and Sgt. Michael Luell detailed the findings of an investigation into Ridgewood Care Facility.

What Happened in Racine County? The investigation came about when a woman named Judy signed a sworn affidavit with the Wisconsin Elections Commission after she discovered that her mother, who had died on Oct. 9, 2020 after a period of severe cognitive decline, had voted in the 2020 presidential election.

Nobody can help the voter other than a relative or "Special voting deputies," which are people appointed by municipal clerks or elections boards to conduct absentee voting at care facilities.

As Wisconsin radio host and lawyer Dan O'Donnell put it, the commission "Was downright derelict in its duty to fairly and impartially oversee an election." As O'Donnell documented, the commission unlawfully allowed clerks to "Cure" ballots, illegally permitted clerks to go home on election night and return to finish counting in the morning, and illegally told clerks they could relocate polling locations in the weeks before the election.

The commission failed to issue relevant laws and rules for training municipal election workers, special voting deputies, and election inspections.

As The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway outlines in her new book "Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections," the Wisconsin Elections Commission also wrongly kept third-party candidates off the ballot, including Kanye West and the Green Party's Howie Hawkins.

"Following the report, what Sheriff Schmaling has uncovered disclosed might only be tip of the iceberg of fraud in the 2020 election. The Legislature must be given the time, resources, and cooperation of election officials to conduct a complete investigation of allegations," tweeted Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin following the Racine press conference.
