There was a golden opportunity for election fraud in Wisconsin in 2020…
…and we’re only finding out about it now.
I’m actually surprised we’re finding out about it at all.
The more mail-in ballots you allow, the more opportunity for fraud. That seems to be a general rule, unless some very strong safeguards are baked in, and that does not ever seem to happen. One must assume that the left will take advantage of every opportunity they can, since they believe that the end justifies the means in their pursuit of power.
The Wisconsin House of Representatives on Wednesday held a hearing to review election irregularities after newly revealed documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight revealed that Democrat activists, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, were able to infiltrate the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin’s five largest cities.
In Green Bay, a Democrat activist was actually given keys to the room where absentee ballots were stored before the 2020 presidential election.
The city received a total of $1.6 million in grant funding from the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to Wisconsin Spotlight. A Democrat operative from New York named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein became a “grant mentor.”…
The Wisconsin Spotlight’s report has prompted several Wisconsin lawmakers to call for the resignation of Green Bay’s mayor, and for an investigation into the city’s handling of the November presidential election.
According to the report, the emails show that Green Bay’s “highly partisan” Democrat Mayor Eric Genrich and his staff usurped city Clerk Kris Teske’s authority and let the Zuckerberg-funded “grant team” take over in “a clear violation of Wisconsin election statutes.”
So, now they’re trying to close the wide open barn door – a bit late, to say the least.
(By the way, what’s up with American Greatness? It’s not just that site, either – I see the following often on conservative sites – they have ads for the left. For example, when I first went to the article I’m writing about in this post, right below the text was a large ad asking the reader to donate money to the effort to pass HR1. It featured an unattractive photo of McConnell on the left of the ad, making a pouty face, accompanied by an exhortation to make him “furious.” It’s especially ironic to have that ad for leftist “voting reform” attached to this particular article.)
More:
The Democrat mayor’s office then began to pressure and bully staffers in the Clerks Office, reducing them to tears and leading several of them to seek new jobs.
I wonder what the nature of those threats were – did the threats by any chance involve children? This would not surprise me. As I’ve said before, until recently people who signed up for such positions were probably neither mentally nor emotionally prepared for that sort of pressure, as a rule. But they had better be prepared in the future – although if HR1 does pass, there won’t be any state laws anymore to protect them or the integrity of the voting process.
The Green Bay City Clerk ended up resigning prior to the election, giving the leftist operatives pretty much free reign.
More:
The documents show a city official, after talking with someone from the National Vote at Home Institute, “brainstorming” about how the city could livestream the Central Count at city hall “so that (election observers) do not enter the building.”
While Spitzer-Rubenstein was given the keys to the room where the absentee ballots were stored, a Hyatt Regency checklist instructed staff “DO NOT UNLOCK GRAND BALLROOM UNTIL Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein IS WITH SECURITY WHEN UNLOCKING THE GRAND BALLROOM DOORS.”
According to former Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno, who retired from the post in early January, the contract stipulated that Spitzer-Rubenstein could have four of the five keys to the KI Center’s ballroom — “several days before the election.”
“The city of Green Bay literally gave the keys to the election to a Democratic Party operative from New York,” Wisconsin Spotlight noted.
The story focuses on Green Bay, but it also mentioned that four other cities in Wisconsin may have had vulnerabilities of a similar or related nature.
Never let a “golden opportunity” go to waste. 1st corollary to the Rahm Rule.
A rule elected congressional Republicans seem to break all the time because they’re afraid of hurting the Left’s ratchet.
Just wow. … a Hyatt Regency checklist …
Who generated that checklist I wonder? The Hyatt?
Totally secure election. Nothing wrong with it. Uhuh.
@neo:I see the following often on conservative sites – they have ads for the left.
Because Google, et al put a thumb on their ad serving algorithms… they’re willing to miss out on some clicks if it means pushing propaganda to where they think it needs to go. They’ve amply demonstrated this; big business and especially big tech seem to be totally okay not selling to the deplorables, probably because the deplorables keep buying even when vilified.
I’ve seen quite a large amount of that left-wing advertising on conservative sites. I always thought, if Google and the advertisers want to give money to the site, so what? It’s not like many people are going to click on it.
But on second thought, I think that “not clicking” is the point. I’d love to hear from an expert, but maybe the following is the strategy.
The site has a limited amount of display space and because Google is the God of advertising, the site can’t choose their ads.
The site makes money from 1) CPM or Cost Per Mille (Mille?) or a payment for just displaying the ad, and 2) CPC or Cost Per Click.
I think CPC is very much higher than CPM. So yes the site makes money from just displaying it, but only tiny amounts. Then, because no one clicks on them, the site loses out on the big CPC payments. That is, Google is starving the site of money.
If Google gave the site some Black Rifle Coffee ads, then both the site and the coffee company would make some significant money.
I note that Neo’s post speaks of five Wisconsin cities, essentially (indirectly via the closing sentence). Comment number five on this post from TommyJay is a gem.
Neo, if I can suggest a topic for a stand-alone post, this one about how to deal from a conservative/internal-exile POV with online advertising might be, shall we say, profitable (heh). Well, to be fair, you did touch on it glancingly the other day in a sense via your post about Amazon. But TommyJay’s note is very illuminating, I think.
Philip Sells,
I’m guessing, yet again. My very limited historical knowledge is that inadvertent clicks were or maybe still are a big problem or scam. Some sites trick you into accidentally clicking through to the ad. I think the really big money comes from being able to log the user all the way from display, to click, to purchasing the item.
Damn—-these Dems are giving a whole new meaning to “ruthless.”
Not just Wisconsin, alas…

…as they continue their policy of demoralizing the American people in the firm belief that there is nothing that can stop them from doing whatever they want.
But you are mistaken, the real, real threat is the GOPextinct. Not the 50 Senators (D) or 220 Representatives (D). Not the Democrats who are trying to retake a certified 2020 Republican house seat in Iowa. (sarc)

Barry Meislin: You say a foul sickness has taken over Pelosi’s soul, as if it is a recent occurrence. She just does not cover up her foul sickness with as much polite verbiage as she used to. Same person, less concerned about appearances. Especially with the new federal voting regulations that are coming soon.
Yes, you’re right. Absolutely.
Just seems to be getting more and more putrescent.
@F:
It’s not uncommon for older people to become more blunt as they progressively lose more frontal lobe restraint and oversight. A lot more Id makes it past the filters and this is rarely a net plus for those on the receiving end.
I’m not an unbiased observer, but it does seem more noticeable in women, too. Perhaps this is because they tend to live longer than men, perhaps it’s because men are nowadays more beaten down and Cowed (heh), perhaps it’s because society has been encouraging women to be aggressive and obnoxious for several generations now, or perhaps it’s just that Islam is Right About Women :P.
In the case of Pelosi and others amongst our Rulers of a certain age there has to be good deal of triumphalism on the surface combined with a not very well repressed terrible fear that they are riding multiple tigers and headed for a blowup.
Or we could just say she sold her soul to the Devil. More parsimonious explanation and the big thing is to be parsimonious in attributing motives and likewise in stacking faggots for her burning — nice and slowwww FTW.
“One must assume that the left will take advantage of every opportunity they can, since they believe that the end justifies the means in their pursuit of power.” neo
Demonstrated by, “newly revealed documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight revealed that Democrat activists, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, were able to infiltrate the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin’s five largest cities.”
That is a direct attack upon constitutional governance and thus a treasonous act. As the corruption within the federal government is too deep and widespread to attain redress of grievance, all that remains is “politics by ‘other’ means”. As they have made it impossible for us to peacefully resolve our differences.
Edmund Burke’s maxim was never more true than today; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Trying to work within what is now a rigged system promises to be an exercise in futility and essentially, a decision to do nothing.
