If the city clerk is not running the election, as the law requires, then it’s NOT a fair and transparent election.
The people of Wisconsin deserve better.
Wisconsin received millions of dollars in grants by billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg through CTCL.
These grants came with conditions.
When grants comes with conditions, they tend to align with the desires of the grantor, regardless of public interest.
The people of Wisconsin deserve to have an election run fairly with the interest of the public in mind, NOT the interest of private corporations.
The $400 million grant from CTCL contained conditions that opened the door to involvement by employees of the National Vote at Home Institute.
Emails have exposed that the dark monies, funneled through CTCL, was money given to Green Bay were not about COVID, as they originally claimed.
Election officials, just like all public officials, need to stay within the law. Even if they accomplish great things, if they do so by going outside the law, then they must be held accountable!
The state of Wisconsin should NOT allow private corporations to run its elections!
People cannot have faith in their institutions when there are private corporations running elections.
Wisconsin is ground zero for election integrity, because we have the evidence!
Initial recipients of CTCL grants were urban areas of key swing states, and they were the ones who got the conditions on election administration.
Once my team, the Amistad Project, began challenging CTCL in court, they opened the process up to other jurisdictions.

There are many election reform measures currently being considered by state legislatures with loopholes that allow local mayors and county officials to accept private funds to run the election.
We should not codify the corrupting influence of private money into our elections.
The Constitution, state, and federal law do not allow such private interference nor allow the creation of a two-tiered election system favoring one political party over the other.
Passing these half-measures, that are being currently considered by state legislatures, allow exceptions that swallow the rule by allowing local mayors and county officials to accept private funds to run the election.
I cannot “just forget” about the Constitution. Nor should you.
Our founders recognized the need for vigorous and aggressive debate as a method of seeking and discovering truth, forcing transparency, and enabling the electorate to hold public servants accountable.
Our founders recognized that each individual has the inherent right of expression. Give a fool a stump to stand on, for we value free speech to the point that we allow fools to reveal themselves.
Government officials should not be arrested for their rhetoric, even if they grossly misrepresent substantive issues.
Criminalizing speech and placing those who criticize the state in prison is the tactic of totalitarians and it is now the tactic of the left.
The AG of Michigan, Dana Nessel, threatened legislators who questioned the election with criminal investigation and prosecution.
Governor Whitmer of MI mobilized the state police to forcibly lock republicans out of the capitol building in Michigan to prevent them from raising concerns about the election while she ordered the police to allow democrats in.
The 2020 election witnessed an unprecedented and coordinated effort through public-private partnerships to improperly and unlawfully influence the election for Mr. Biden.
1. We witnessed a two-tiered election system in which state and local officials targeted Biden constituencies to turn out the vote while targeting Trump constituencies to depress the vote.
2. There was a use of private funds to pay election judges and officials who managed the way ballots were received, accepted, cured, and counted.
Fulton County officials illegally accepted more than $6 million in private grants that imposed
conditions on the conduct of elections without authority from the state legislature.
In addition, state election officials entered into a settlement agreement with the Democratic Party that created rules for processing absentee ballots that directly contradict the legislature’s intent.
Officials also failed to enforce state law residency requirements on voters who changed addresses before the November 3, 2020 election, leading to an estimated 20,000 unlawful ballots being improperly counted.
