WI: Sheriff seeks criminal charges against election commission

RACINE COUNTY — Sheriff Christopher Schmaling is recommending five members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, three appointed by Democrats and two by Republicans, be criminally charged for having waived the law requiring the use of Special Voting Deputies during elections in 2020, he announced in a Wednesday afternoon news release.

Schmaling, a Republican, criticized Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, in the news release for not having launched a statewide investigation following the Racine County Sheriff's Office Oct. 28 disclosure of allegations of election fraud having occurred at Mount Pleasant's Ridgewood Care Center after SVDs were not sent in.

Ridgewood staff collected the residents' votes, which typically isn't allowed, but the WEC voted to make a statewide exception due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

"Based upon the failure of Attorney General Josh Kaul to initiate a statewide investigation, I have forwarded charging recommendations to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office for their review," states a release signed by Schmaling and Sgt. Michael Luell, who led the investigation into Ridgewood and also is the RCSO's public information officer. "The recommended charges are for Commissioners Margaret Bostelmann, Julie Glancey, Ann Jacobs, Dean Knudson and Mark Thomsen."

 

 

Charges were not recommended against Commissioner Bob Spindell, a Republican appointee who voted against waiving the SVD law.

Meagan Wolfe, the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, said Monday that she does have concerns with how absentee voting was handled at Mount Pleasant’s Ridgewood Care Center following allegations of potential criminal activity made by the Racine County Sheriff’s Office.

She said that law enforcement and Racine County District Attorney Tricia Hanson should look into the possibilities of election fraud that the Racine County Sheriff’s Office alleged last week. Particularly noted were:

The allegation that a woman who voted early then died still had her vote counted

That people in the nursing home who may not have wanted to vote were explicitly encouraged to by nursing home staff under allegedly dubious reasoning

That 42 Ridgewood residents voted in the 2020 election compared to the typical 20 or so.

“There may be some procedures that were not followed … by the care facility or by the jurisdiction,” Wolfe said during a Zoom call with reporters from around the state Monday. If that were to be true, “then,” Wolfe said, “they (the complaints) need to be referred to district attorneys, they need to be investigated by law enforcement. The Commission is not a law enforcement agency and cannot prosecute crimes.”

While the Sheriff’s Office alleges that illegalities did occur, Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said his office has not made any arrests and has not yet forwarded reports to Hanson for potential criminal charges.

Wolfe noted that both the number of absentee ballots cast and total votes in the 2020 election shot up around the state compared to four years before. In 2016, there were 2.976 million total votes in the presidential election in Wisconsin, of which 819,316 were absentee (combined mail or in-person early absentee); in 2020, Wisconsin had 3.298 million total votes and approximately 1.958 million absentee votes. Thus it wasn’t an obvious sign of potential fraud that absentee voting doubled in popularity at Ridgewood, too, Wolfe said. She said the situation was something to “analyze.”

Wolfe also repeated that, even if a citizen’s mental state is greatly diminished by age or disease, they still have the right to vote unless it is explicitly taken away by a court.

No one from Ridgewood has publicly commented on the situation.

Long known, this sheriff uncovered a grannie harvest fraud scam that could effect 200K votes.  By the ones in charge of the election, what would any BS audit expect to uncover?

Looks like they just updated the state, and retweeted the same story that ran back in Sept?

"An erroneous tweet circulating on Twitter claims that 23,000 people used the same phone number to register to vote in North Dakota. The tweet originally claimed that the voter registration occurred in North Carolina but was updated in the replies to say North Dakota. “Since North Dakota does not have voter registration, that would be false,” Secretary of State Al Jaeger told The Associated Press. In a separate tweet, the same user claimed that 23,000 people used the same phone number and the address of a prison when voting in North Dakota."

Or addressing this specifically

https://elections.wi.gov/faq/2020

• This issue is almost exclusive to voters in the city of Racine, and almost exclusive to inactive voters. A default phone number appears in some Inactive Voter Records in the city of Racine because of data conversion more than 15 years ago from the city’s own legacy voter registration system into the current WisVote system. 
• The city of Racine’s legacy voter registration system likely required a phone number for all registered voters, and if one was not provided at the time a default phone number, which is a city of Racine number, was entered.  

 

But, carry on.

Good find, If that is true, then it should get worked out by the authorities.  No need for any resistance.

I have a question, on the first part of your post it claims that it's wrong because it's North Dakota instead of North Carolina, the second states that it's almost exclusively to voters in the city of Racine, this is what's been seen in several cities that have actually been looked into, the Dems response is usually there was a recount but that what doesn't show this. I'm all for voter integrity and really don't understand why that's an issue.

Maybe it isn't coincidence that it is 23,000.  Maybe it's a number they used in many places.

No issue, sounds like they got it figured out. I just find these 'sensational headlines' by pundit websites rather annoying and for purely base-rallying purposes rather than actually asking a few questions before posting to Twitter. Same goes for the people that blindly retweet/post it without a simple google search.

I forgot, "there is no truth" always wins. 

Well, back at it. There's 23,000 registered voters in Racine with the same phone number. We'll never be able to trust why, so come to your own conclusions.

Sounds like they have a good bead on things, eh?

Do you also believe everything you read in addition to everything you hear?  Or, just the parts you want to believe?

So let them figure it out.  Should be easy to check the phone number.  And then that should warrant a forensic audit.
