Gableman heads to court over Madison and Green Bay subpoenas
Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is taking the mayors of the state's second and third largest cities to court over subpoenas issued as part of his probe of the 2020 presidential election.

Hired by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester in June 2021, Gableman alleged that Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich failed to appear when he issued subpoenas for them to testify in private at his offices in Brookfield. In response, Gableman is seeking relief in Waukesha County Circuit Court to compel their testimony.

Gableman's investigation targets, in-part, the state's five largest cities over funds they received from the Center for Tech and Civic Life — a nonprofit associated with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Gableman issued subpoenas in October for documents and testimony from local officials in those cities, which also include Milwaukee, Kenosha and Racine, along with Madison and Green Bay.
:snippity:
The court set a hearing date of Dec. 22 to hear arguments over Gableman's petition.

Gableman will be in court the following day in a separate lawsuit filed by the state Department of Justice on behalf of the Wisconsin Elections Commission that seeks to quash subpoenas issued to the latter's staff. Haas said the result of the Dec. 23 hearing may impact whether Gableman’s subpoenas of the five cities' mayors can go forward.

A conservative group in Wisconsin debunked Trump's baseless voter fraud claims after a 10-month investigation
After a 10-month investigation, a conservative group in Wisconsin has released a new report concluding it found no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

In its report, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) said it found "no evidence of fraudulent ballots or widespread voter fraud."

WILL describes itself as a state-based litigation center that represents conservatives and libertarians in Wisconsin. The institute said it conducted a review of the election by going through nearly 20,000 ballots, 29,000 absentee ballot envelopes, surveys, polls, and "tens of thousands" of documents that were obtained through 460 open records requests.

"A close review, including a hand count of roughly 20,000 ballots from 20 wards, uncovered no evidence of fraudulent ballots or widespread voter fraud," the group wrote in its report, published December 7. "Our hand review found that the counts closely matched those reported by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC). The review found no evidence of fraudulent ballots."
:snippity:
A $676,000, GOP-backed review of the election is ongoing in Wisconsin. It is expected to cover similar issues to those WILL addressed in its report, per the Journal Sentinel.

'It's the same story': Wisconsin Republicans' secretive review of 2020 election takes lessons from Arizona's conspiracy-laden process
Wisconsin's partisan review of the 2020 election results has turned into an Arizona-style circus, with the Republicans behind it targeting local officials and casting doubt on the election's outcome -- without offering any evidence of wrongdoing.

Those leading the Republican review in Wisconsin have consulted with many of the same figures that advised Arizona's partisan ballot review. Wisconsin taxpayers paid to send Michael Gableman, who is leading the review, to South Dakota for a forum hosted by MyPillow CEO and election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, and to Arizona to observe the review taking place there this summer, records obtained by American Oversight show.

But in Arizona, though, ballots were reviewed and recounted for weeks in a Phoenix coliseum, with video cameras and journalists present. In Wisconsin, the review by Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice appointed to lead the review by Republican state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Republican lawmakers, is more secretive, largely taking place behind the tinted doors of a nondescript office that Gableman and his staff are using.

"Even as un-transparent as the Arizona audit was, this is even less transparent," said David Becker, the executive director of the non-partisan Center for Election Innovation & Research in Washington, DC.

Rogue ‘Canvassers’ Are Still Going Door-To-Door In Search Of 2020 Fodder

By Matt Shuham
December 8, 2021 3:29 p.m.

As state legislators across the country continue to push for so-called “audits” and other investigations into the 2020 election, some independent groups are taking it upon themselves to hit the pavement — going door-to-door and asking people about their vote in the last presidential election.

The Salt Lake Tribune has the latest out of Utah, where a group calling itself the “Utah Voter Verification Project” (UVVP) is knocking on doors in search of non-existent evidence of widespread election irregularities. Complaints lodged with the state noted that the canvassers did not wear name tags and refused to identify themselves.

And a handbook for the group published by the paper instructs volunteers not to wear any specifically political clothing — “please look and act as ‘Team America’” — and tells volunteers, correctly, that Utah law allows them to record their conversations without the consent of any other party.

One of the funniest things about that-- have you noticed at the P&E and other RWNJ sites, now they don't mind President Obama anymore? Recently, my pal Joseph DeMaio opened one of his fabulous columns with this:
(Nov. 28, 2021) — As we approach the one-year anniversary of unquestionably the worst president and worst presidential administration in the history of the Republic – and with the likes of Presidents Harding, Buchanan, Nixon, Carter and Clinton behind us, that is saying a lot
Hmmm. Notice anybody missing there? After they screamed for eight years that President Obama was the anti-Christ that would destroy America... crickets.

‘A real conflagration’: Wisconsin emerges as front line in war over the 2020 vote
One of the investigators reexamining the 2020 election results in Wisconsin on behalf of the GOP-led state legislature is the president of a group that unsuccessfully sued to overturn the vote.

Another worked as a deputy in the White House Presidential Personnel Office, which was known for weeding out people perceived as disloyal to President Donald Trump.

A third is an Arkansas lawyer who represented Trump’s campaign during last year’s Wisconsin recount, a process that confirmed President Biden won the key swing state by roughly 20,700 votes.

All are being paid with Wisconsin taxpayer money as part of a legislative-backed investigation into the 2020 results headed by a former state Supreme Court justice that has picked up steam in recent weeks. The inquiry, the latest gambit by Republicans to reexamine the 2020 election nationally, makes little pretense of neutrality and is being led by figures who have shown allegiance to Trump or embraced false claims of fraud.

Judge says she doesn't understand how Vos could have so few records regarding Wisconsin's election review

A judge expressed bafflement Thursday that Assembly Speaker Robin Vos had turned over so few documents about a Republican review of the 2020 election.

The liberal group American Oversight is asking Dane County Circuit Court Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn to hold Vos in contempt of court for not producing all documents in response to requests it has filed under the state's open records law.

Wisconsin's GOP-backed election investigation expanded over the holidays
More government employees and election officials, including information technology workers in Madison and Green Bay and the Green Bay city clerk, have been served with subpoenas in an ongoing Republican-backed investigation of the 2020 election in Wisconsin.

The taxpayer-funded investigation, led by former conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Michael Gableman and spearheaded by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, was initially expected to wrap up late last year, but is instead expanding its scope. Vos has said he doesn’t know when the probe, which has an initial budget of roughly $700,000, will end. He has also acknowledged it may require additional taxpayer funding.

The new subpoenas, all dated Dec. 28, seek a wide range of documents from state election officials and government employees in Madison and Green Bay. The requests include documents related to private grant funding received by municipalities to help support election administration, municipal election budgets and details about computers and software used for election administration.

The subpoenas also request in-person testimony from some officials and government workers, including a new request for testimony from the chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, the elections commission’s IT manager, the Green Bay IT department and Madison’s chief information officer.

Judge orders Vos to be questioned about election probe
A Wisconsin judge on Tuesday ordered that Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos sit for a deposition with attorneys for a liberal watchdog group seeking records related to the GOP-ordered investigation into the 2020 election.

Dane County Circuit Court Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn denied an attempt by Vos and his staff attorney, Steve Fawcett, to block the Jan. 12 depositions.

It’s the latest defeat for Vos in the battle between him and American Oversight over records the group is seeking. Vos has turned over some documents, but the group argues he should be found in contempt for not complying quickly enough with court orders to produce more information.
:snippity:
Vos last year hired former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who claimed without evidence that the presidential election was stolen, to lead the investigation. His initial contract was for $676,000 in taxpayer money, but that expired last month. Vos has said the probe will last longer and likely cost more money, but he hasn’t said how much more or released a new contract.

Another decent Republican says "fuck this, I'm out."

Kathy Bernier, GOP state senator critical of Republican-backed election investigation, will not seek reelection
An outspoken Republican state senator who has publicly criticized a GOP-backed probe into the 2020 election in Wisconsin will not seek reelection this year.

Sen. Kathy Bernier, R-Chippewa Falls, announced Friday she will not seek another four-year term in the state Senate. The announcement comes after Bernier, the chair of the Senate’s elections committee, has made several high-profile comments criticizing an investigation of the 2020 election spearheaded by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and led by former state Supreme Court justice Michael Gableman.

A former local election official, Bernier has called the investigation "politically motivated" and "a charade." Gableman called on Bernier to resign late last month, in the wake of the comments, but the senator said Friday her decision to leave the Legislature is not a response to that pressure.

"I want to make it perfectly clear that no one has forced me out and politics has not played a role in my decision," she said in a prepared statement.

Ex-justice’s Wisconsin election probe drags as critics scoff
Election experts and members of both parties have dismissed Gableman as a partisan hack for claiming, even before he was appointed to lead the probe, that the election had been stolen from Trump.


https://www.courthousenews.com/ex-justi ... ics-scoff/
The leader of a sprawling, taxpayer-funded probe of Joe Biden's victory in battleground Wisconsin ignited his political career in 2008 by unseating the first Black justice on the state Supreme Court, capitalizing on an ad that sparked ethics complaints and allegations of racism.

Michael Gableman's commercial against then-Justice Louis Butler drew comparisons with the infamous Willie Horton ad from the 1988 presidential race and an official complaint from the state judicial commission. But the ad paid off as Gableman, then a little-known circuit judge in rural Wisconsin, became the first challenger to defeat a sitting justice in 40 years, tilting the court's balance in favor of conservatives.

Gableman, 55, who left the high court after one 10-year term, is now bringing the same bruising — and, to his critics, fact-challenged — approach to the election probe. Biden's narrow 2020 victory in Wisconsin has withstood recounts, lawsuits and multiple reviews. There is no evidence of widespread fraud.

In his seven-month inquiry, Gableman has been sued over his response to open records requests and subpoenas and countersued. He's been criticized for scant expense records, ridiculed for sending confusing emails and making rudimentary errors in his filings and called out for meeting with conspiracy theorists.

ABC: Trump backer, 4 others charged with voter fraud in Wisconsin:
A supporter of former President Donald Trump who said authorities should root out voter fraud is among five people charged with election fraud by a Republican district attorney who is running for Wisconsin attorney general

A supporter of former President Donald Trump who said authorities should root out voter fraud is among five people who were charged Thursday with election fraud by a Republican district attorney who's running for Wisconsin attorney general.

All five voters, including a homeless person, improperly listed a post office box number at a UPS store as their address, rather than a residential address as is required under Wisconsin law, said Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney.

That brings the number of people charged with election fraud during the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin to 10, including seven in Fond du Lac County. Three of the five people charged cast ballots in the 2020 election.

* * *

In fact, one of the people charged indicated she had voted for Trump and told investigators to look into cheating because “they took it away from Trump,” according to the complaint.

* * *

One of the people charged was homeless but should have listed any kind of address, like the location of a park bench, rather than a post office box number, Toney said. A married couple who were charged were traveling around the state in an RV and could have listed the address of a campground where they stay, he said.

So, if needed, officials could look the person in the eye when inquiring whether they actually registered and voted. Which is why it is acceptable to list your address as, for example, the green bench in the Main Street park. Because, in theory, someone could track you down there.

Unlike mailboxes; only Klayman lives in mailboxes.

Bigger picture: To deter voter fraud; so thousands of people don't claim to live in the same mailbox, with no means of verifying who they actually are.

Things must be bad in Mar-a-Lago, tfg is calling "for RINOs to step forward and save our Country!" :lol:
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
02/11/22

Even more Voter Fraud was just discovered in Wisconsin. It shows the Election was Rigged and Stolen. A hearing this week revealed at least 50,000 illegal phantom votes were cast in the 2020 Presidential Election, which is more than twice the “victory” margin. Incredible problems were also uncovered within Wisconsin’s voter rolls, including an apartment building with 102 percent turnout rate (not possible), 113 ballots cast from an address where no one lives, 3,713 “voters” registered to U.S. Post Offices, and 625,000 dead people on Wisconsin’s voter rolls. In addition, 46,000 votes were cast on Nov. 3rd based on voter information that was never verified by the state. This is on top of massive ballot harvesting, rigged “indefinitely confined” votes, the Wisconsin Election Commission instructing election officials to break the law, Zuckerberg drop boxes, etc. So who in Wisconsin is leading the charge to decertify this fraudulent Election? It’s time for RINOs to step forward and save our Country!

Wisconsin Republican pushes “illegal” scheme to jail election officials, causes rift in GOP
Michael Gableman, who is leading a review of the 2020 election ordered by state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, on Friday filed a petition asking a court to jail the head of the state's Elections Commission, several election officials, and the mayors of Green Bay, Madison, and Racine, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Gableman asked a judge to jail Ann Jacobs, the Democratic chairwoman of the bipartisan Elections Commission, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich, Racine Mayor Cory Mason, the city clerks of Madison and Green Bay, and others targeted in his probe unless they agree to closed-door depositions.

The officials have said that the facts should not be hidden behind closed doors and that they would be willing to speak with Gableman publicly before a legislative committee. Gableman has sought to interview the officials for months about grants cities received from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit that donated millions to help local election officials administer elections amid the pandemic. The group has become a focal point of pro-Trump election conspiracy theorists because it received a large donation from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.
:snippity:
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, last year filed a lawsuit seeking to block Gableman's subpoenas, arguing that the review had no legislative purpose, were too broad, were unenforceable under the state constitution, and improperly sought to depose officials in private. A judge last month refused to immediately block the subpoenas but said she may do so if Gableman seeks to jail election officials.
