Wisconsin Voters Sue Democrat Cities Over Illegal Drop Boxes In 2020 Election
The Federalist ^ | MAY 27, 2022 | SHAWN FLEETWOOD

Posted on 05/27/2022 10:45:28 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Wisconsin voters took legal action against their state’s five largest cities on Wednesday over the illegal use of unmanned drop boxes during the 2020 election.

Filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of voters against Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine, the legal complaints allege that city officials ignored state law by implementing unmanned drop boxes over the course of the 2020 cycle.

“In 2020, the cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, and Green Bay made an agreement with the nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life [CTCL] to use the drop boxes to get these cities’ residents to vote,” said Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal in a press release. “This so-called ‘Wisconsin Safe Voting Plan,’ involved $8.8 million of private grants to these five cities, to target specific populations to vote. It had little, if anything at all to do with keeping voters safe from Covid-19, as it purported to do.”

During the 2020 election, CTCL received $400 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to finance “the infiltration of election offices at the city and county level by left-wing activists” and use them “as a platform to implement preferred administrative practices, voting methods, and data-sharing agreements, as well as to launch intensive outreach campaigns in areas heavy with Democratic voters,” in the words of William Doyle in The Federalist.

According to a report from the Capital Research Center, CTCL “distributed a total of 31 grants above the $5,000 minimum to Wisconsin cities and townships,” with 28 going “directly to specific cities” rather than counties.

“Out of those 28 grants just 8 of the recipient localities were won by Trump, while 20 were won by Biden,” the report reads. “Together, these 20 cities received $9 million or 90 percent of all CTCL funds in Wisconsin.”

Like the surveillance video we have from 2020 that no one will act on?

IDK but I certainly hope so. Light is the best disinfectant.

Surveillance videos are useful. But there is a heck of a lot more that can be done.
Like any elections, the controls have to be enforced and they will this year.
Kemp will win. Easily.

My liberal brother was hammering me about the elimination of drop boxes. I finally had to remind him the ballots were mail in ballots. No drop boxes are needed, at all.

Great, then he and Raffensperger will be in place to make sure Trump doesn’t win GA again.

Dream on.
2022 and 2024 will NOT be 2020.
You Dems can still have wet dreams about it if you want.
Just not going to happen.

The Wisconsin Legislature has 2x passed election reforms that would require any private money for election administration go to the Secretary of State for distribution to the counties on an equal (per capita) basis across the state. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has vetoed it each time. So, as far as Wisconsin is concerned, they are running on essentially the same rules as in 2020.

All goes back to the stolen Wi Governors race. Evers stole it and the GOP let him. Walker had a good lead until another middle of the night ballot dump as usual.

Zuckerberg is just paying back the debt he owes to the Deep State for picking him to start Facebook. Remember DARPA was running such a site and threw in with Zuck the Cluck. These contributions should be illegal and he should have all of his assets taken by virtue of several executive orders trump signed.

Not true in Georgia.

They substantially reduced the number of drop boxes,and the remaining ones are *inside the regional voting offices* under supervision.

So they can say, "We still have drop boxes," but the opportunities for ballot stuffing are reduced or eliminated.

“All goes back to the stolen Wi Governors race.”
People in Milw were bragging shortly after the Phony Tony steal that it was a practice run for 2020.

War in Ukraine can be traced back to Zuckerberg.

President Trump’s presence in Washington would have scuttled Putin’s plan for a “Greater Russia”.

Apparently it made it through the courts, if this is the same case:
