Milwaukee Officials Blocked Windows, Preventing Observers From Seeing Them Process Ballots
The Federalist ^ | 04/08/2025 | Logan Washburn

While votes streamed in during last week’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race, workers in Milwaukee handled ballots in secret back rooms forbidden to observers, according to multiple sources. One of these rooms also allegedly stored vast numbers of blank ballots.

Wisconsin state Rep. Dave Maxey, a Republican, told The Federalist that Milwaukee elections director Paulina Gutierrez blocked observers from seeing multiple rooms in the city’s Central Count, where workers were processing ballots on Election Day. According to Maxey, one of these was the “secure ballot room,” which housed pre-printed blank ballots.

“The reason I wanted to get into those rooms is, ‘Why are you covering the windows? Why did you have mail bins stacked in front of the glass and obscuring people’s view?’” Maxey said. “If there’s nothing to see, let’s be as transparent as a window.”

In Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race on April 1, Republican-backed Brad Schimmel lost to Democrat-backed Susan Crawford 55 percent to 45 percent. The race gave leftists control over the state’s highest court for years. Gutierrez had allegedly been allowing workers to handle ballots in rooms inaccessible to observers for weeks before the election, as The Federalist previously reported, and planned to continue using these secret rooms on Election Day.

Blocking Observers

A wall of mail bins obscured the secure ballot room’s main window, multiple sources who wished to remain anonymous told The Federalist. They also said officials had altered the windows to several rooms where observers were not allowed, giving them a “frosted” texture so others could not see in. The windows to some of the rooms had previously been papered over. Sources provided images of the secret rooms and obscured windows.

Because they had to stack the fake ballots somewhere before they were counted. Like Duh!

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the official slogan of the American newspaper The Washington Post, adopted in 2017.

I would point out that “Our Democracy” absolutely requires darkness. Or, at least covered windows.

You cannot steal an election if people are watching.

Since the Conservative lost by 10%, I am a little skeptical about cheating.

Also, I did not realize that Abortion was a major state wide issue in this election.

Had I known that, I would have expected the Conservative to lose.

Actually there were probably several reasons for this strategy, but Trump Derangement Syndrome and Musk Derangement Syndrome were the underlying causes of this rash display of arrogance and disobedience. After all, you can’t have these multibillionaires coming in and screwing up what Milwaukee County has found to be a most satisfactory means of assuring their duty to the people, the triumph of the Democrat Socialists.

All with the aid of that benevolent philanthropist, George Soros.

Biden had 20 million mysterious Vote period

More than 20%

And you think that they couldn’t do 10%?

Can the Federal Department of Justice intervene in this case? What the article does not make clear is if there were Republicans present during the ballot counting. The actions of the Milwaukee election officials resemble what we saw in Atlanta and Detroit in 2020.

Sounds familiar. I’m surprised they didn’t claim a water leak, and sent everyone home except the fraudsters.

1. Was that illegal?
2. If illegal, sue.

IBTZ.

Abortion wasn’t on the ballot.

But every tume a lib gets in trouble, they claim “a woman’s right to choose” is suddenly at risk.

Hey give them a break because the only way Democrats can win elections these days is by fraud.

None that I’ve heard of so far. Been sending stuff to Robin Vos (House Speaker, R) and Brian Schimming, new WI RNC Chair.

Nothing hitting the local news, either. :(
