Will wait to see who gets charged with a crime. Usually just crickets.

Too late. Stolen elections are permanent. In fact, if you protest too much you get the J6 punishment.

Rep. Brantjen is doing all the heavy lifting related to improving election integrity. Unfortunately Speaker Robin Vos, RPW Brian Schimming and all the legislative lemmings are not lifting a finger to help. Instead Vos, who is a nasty little bully, has stripped Rep. Brantjen of staff and has barred her from caucus meetings. ONLY 2 of the 61 Assembly Caucus objected publicly and Vos stripped committee assignments and staff.

Face it with this “leadership” Wisconsin is a lost cause and 2024 and unfortunately another 4 years of regime incompetence and abuse

No one will be charged with a crime. Believe me, the Socialist Democrats in Dane and Milwaukee Counties are EXPERTS at ‘getting out the vote’ whether it involves actual, legitimate voters...or not!

Leading up to the election, I got 4 texts every day from Socialist Democrat groups, urging me to vote. The morning of the election I received a CREEPY text with a picture of my voting place reminding me to vote and saying ‘we noticed you haven’t voted yet, today!’ Big Brother, Anyone? Yikes!

I have never voted Socialist Democrat in my entire life. Why I’m on these text lists is beyond me. Why ping me? You won’t like how I vote, anyway.

And how many texts did I get from the GOP? Absolutely zero. We are SO out of touch with this current crop of sculls-full-of-mush voters (Miss You, Rush!) it’s ridiculous.

According to Wisconsin statute 12.11(1m), someone has committed election bribery if that person “[o]ffers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector to:

Go to or refrain from going to the polls. Vote or refrain from voting. Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular person. Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular referendum; or on account of any elector having done any of the above.”

looks like bribery to me make criminal complaint..not ethic charges.

Diana- Laying this at the feet of Brian Schimming and Robin Vos- I know you worked all you could in Ozaukee and I would like to think I made a difference in Waukesha. As long as we have feckless, self centered leadership more interested in purging America First supporters from positions in PRW- lost cause I am afraid-

Same as the last Presidential election - the tactics used in Wisconsin to get Evers elected, migrated to the national election to get Biden elected.

Coming soon to all states in 2024 - legal vote bribery. There is no way the Dems can lose 2024, since all the millions of illegals, that will have crossed the southern boarder by then, will jump for the easy cash. Not to mention the ‘homeless’ and drug addled etc.

Aright so in 2024 the GOP does the exact same thing, along with the NRA, Right to Life, Americans for Prosperity, ect. And they collect and submit ballots where legal.

Yep. Something needs to give. I’ll keep the pressure on Schimming. ;)

Effective strategy, she won. Democrats are the road runner, we’re the coyote.

Paying someone to go vote is legal and ethical. Not paying them to vote for anyone in particular, just get their fat arshe into a polling station.

What is wrong is that 1-2 guys will do this, and 40-50 others will simply gather some pre-printed ballots and fill them out and turn those in. That is what happened when GNewsome beat his recall “election”. Blank ballots were found in the hands of convicted felons with drugs and guns in hand — and he walked.

Nice head shot of Robin Vos, who is and has always been a RINO prick.

The pay is the same if you’re in the minority, AND you aren’t expected to actually accomplish anything. You can author the occasional bill that your constituents want, but it’ll either not make it to a vote, or be voted down. Either of which is a victory! As you can say “See! I tried! I’ll try again when we get control of this body. Please send a donation to help me hold this office in the next election”.

So, they can sit on the sidelines and not care. (which is what I believe is the case).

I hate these stories. They just highlight how clueless the piubs. There are no real players in the whole lot.

Wisconsin statutes specifically clarify this as “election bribery”, seems like a good idea. In practice though no one is charged. If prosecutors decline to enforce what should people do?

Meanwhile in California it’s anything goes, and if Trump’s against it double down. I’ve talked to plenty of liberals and they are willfully blinded to the consequences. They refuse to recognize any reason that would invalidate the foundation of their consensual zeitgeist.
