2021 - 2022 LEGISLATURE 2021 ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION 3 January 4, 2021 - Introduced by Representative Allen.
Relating to: addressing election law violations.
Whereas, in the United States, the power to govern is given by the people through the process of democratic elections. It is by this process that our government obtains legitimacy; and
Whereas, we have three branches of government, and the legislative branch, consisting of duly elected representatives of the people, is the branch charged with the power to write the laws. It is through this process that our government maintains legitimacy; and
Whereas, when the executive branch or administrative agencies charged with enforcing the laws instead choose to step outside of the law, or go beyond the law, or stretch the law to something other than what is written, the legitimacy of the government begins to erode; and
Whereas, the 2020 election and the recount of the results of the presidential election have brought to light a number of areas in which the letter of the law is not being followed. Those circumstances of departure from the letter of the law include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Clerks provided absentee ballots to electors without applications, as required by Wis. Stat. § 6.86.
2. Clerks and deputy clerks authorized by the municipal clerk failed to write on the official ballot, in the space for official endorsement, the clerk's initials and official title, as required by Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (1).
3. Clerks issued absentee ballots to electors who were required to enclose a copy of proof of identification or an authorized substitute document, but who failed to do so under Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (1).
4. Clerks failed to enter initials on ballot envelopes indicating whether the elector is exempt from providing proof of identification, as required by Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (2).
5. Clerks in Milwaukee and Dane Counties declared electors in their counties to be “indefinitely confined” under Wis. Stat. § 6.86 (2), causing chaos and confusion, and failed to keep current the mailing list established under that subsection; more than 215,000 electors thus avoided identification requirements and safeguards that the legislature has established.
6. Clerks and the boards of canvassers permitted absentee ballots returned without the required witness address under Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (2) to be counted in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (6d).
7. Clerks who received absentee ballots with improperly completed certificates or no certificates filled in missing information in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (9).
8. The Wisconsin Elections Commission, in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.875, barred special voting deputies from entering qualified nursing homes and assisted living facilities, instead mailing ballots to residents directly, thereby avoiding safeguards the legislature put in place to protect our most vulnerable citizens and loved ones.
9. The clerk of the City of Madison ignored Wis. Stat. § 6.855 and created an event named “Democracy in the Park” and, of her own accord, designated alternate sites where absentee ballots could be collected; these ballots were counted in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (6); and
Whereas, without legitimacy, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not stand. Instead, our government will devolve into a system of coercion and bribery that seeks to use the guise of elections to hold a degree of credibility; and
Whereas, the people of Wisconsin are demanding that the legislature address questions of legitimacy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, That: the Wisconsin State Assembly recognizes that the most important function for a government is to conduct fair and honest elections that follow the duly enacted law; and, be it further
Resolved, That when there are significant portions of the population that question the integrity of the elections due to the failure of election officials to follow the letter of the law, it is incumbent upon the legislature to address the issues that are in question; and, be it further
Resolved, That the members of the Wisconsin State Assembly place the redress to these and other election law violations and failed administrative procedures as its highest priority and shall take up legislation crafted to ensure civil officers follow the laws as written.
It's good news but a majority of legislators will need to vote to decertify and I think they will stall, maybe not. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANYHING FROM THE GOVERNOR.
My sense is the fraud now PROVEN and ongoing in GA by the team of Jovan Hutton Pulitzer will be heard of in WI and they will ask the Pulitzer team to come to WI which will cause the entire WI Legislature to decertify.
Pressure is mounting but the time window is short.
The only date hardwired into the Constitution is January 20, 2021.
On January 6, VP Pence as Senate President of the Joint Session can hear Senator Cruz's motion and move to postpone by 10 days the counting of Electors until legislatures have a chance to complete their investigations and persuade their members.
I've been harsh on Pence thinking he doesn't have the courage to do anything out of the ordinary, but twitter chatter has him moving towards fighting the fraud. If he does this, I will apologize to him.
The good news is the Pulitzer team has methods and technology to find fraudulent ballots in hours up to a day for a whole state. And their findings are irrefutable because of the methods they use.
I see synergy between Pulitzer and state legislatures to cause a dam break.
It takes only 3 of the states decertifying to move the election into the House where the election of President is decided by a majority vote of 50 state delegations under the 12th Amendment. 30 state delegations in the House are controlled by Republicans.
Decert is not in the Assembly resolution above but chatter is amendments will be made to decertify.
This is for teal? Great news if so.
Bttt
I don’t know Wisconsin’s legislative rules but they do not have much time to act.
If I remember Ohio’s rules correctly a bill has to be read on the floor twice before it can be voted on.
I’m not seeing where in there they decertify the electors. It seems to be a ‘we really have to do something about this sometime soon’ kind of resolution.
‘Tis merely a start and will also need Senate action I’d presume, but that last clause about making this the highest priority and getting this far on first day is encouraging. When do the other contested states resume normal legislative sessions, thus ending their dubious “We’ve fallen out of session and can’t get ourselves back up” excuses?
I missed it. Or did it just evaporate?
There is no such thing as decertification. They either vote a set of electors and send them to DC or they don’t. sounds good for next time tho.
