Milwaukee removes elections chief in unexpected battleground-state shakeup
nbcnews.com ^ | May 6, 2024 | Adam Edelman

The top elections official in Milwaukee County was removed from her post Monday in an unexpected shakeup in the most populous county in battleground Wisconsin six months before Election Day.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said Monday that Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall would be replaced by her deputy, Paulina Gutierrez, citing “internal” issues within the commission. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the news of Woodall’s ouster.

In a statement, Johnson spokesperson Jeff Fleming said that the move was not related to how Woodall or her office oversaw elections but that it was a result of “other issues internal to the election commission office and to city government that raised concern." Fleming did not elaborate on the nature of the issues when asked. Gutierrez’s appointment is subject to approval by the Milwaukee Common Council.

The unexpected move comes just under six months from a presidential election likely to be decided by a small handful of states, including Wisconsin. 

Wisconsin’s past two presidential elections were decided by fewer than 23,000 votes each. And Milwaukee — a Democratic stronghold where Trump allies falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 2020 — was at the center of the drama in both elections.

Wisconsin has already lagged behind other swing states in shoring up election policies after chaos in 2020. Election workers and watchdogs in the state have expressed concerns that the same loopholes Trump allies exploited to try to overturn the election results that year still exist in Wisconsin.

We don’t like her.

Trump allies falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 2020

If Democrats were to say that an election won by a Republican had fraud, the media would say, "Biden allies portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 20XX," or at the very least, "Biden allies alleged slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 20XX."

That would be stating the fact that fraud was accused. Having the uncontrollable urge to state anything alleged by Trump as false is Stalinism, not journalism.

Can the “journalist” provide one piece of evidence for this assertion: “a Democratic stronghold where Trump allies falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 2020.” One quote from someone. Something.

Need someone with less integrity or who can have plausible deniability as new to cover the cheating.

Not even. The control of Fed.gov is controlled by a few cities in those few states.

Its why fraud is so easy for Democrats, and less detectable - just have your woke/govt-union drones in ghetto Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Atlanta work their corruption out of sight, and the entire country is won.

Wait, do they mean the voting van that showed up at 1AM? When all votes must be in by 8PM?

“Woodall apparently agreed with Zapata’s claims though not with her method of addressing them. Before Zapata’s sentencing, Woodall wrote that “despite the harm [Zapata] has caused, her actions were rooted in a very real security vulnerability that state statute has created and that continues to persist.”

That is the reason she was replaced. She agreed that there are problems with the system that allows fraud.

10 bucks says her replacement will ensure the dems take Wisconsin.

Milwaukee was also the lynch pin for getting Scott Walker to lose as well. Last county to provide vote tallies which meant they knew exactly how many votes they needed. Dems know where to get / fabricate the large vote numbers which is clearly in Milwaukee.

What do you expect from a city that’s the only city in the country that has elected three socialist mayors?

Dems spend multiple millions to get the Republican Supreme Court nomineed they wished to run against. Then they spent multiple millions more to put their super-far left candidate on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. They now control the Wisconsin Supreme Court 4-3.

Now they are making sure they can cheat sufficiently to make sure Trump does not win Wisconsin.

There are reports circulating on X that this woman printed over 64,000 ballots in the 2020 election and inserted them at 3:00 AM. In fact, there are emails lauding her for her ‘work’.

If this is true, she needs to be hung, but only after a proper horse-whipping and tar and feathering.

Democratic stronghold where Trump allies falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots

Trump falsely claimed, rr Trump allies falsely claimed, is a favorite talking point by the democrats. They can't allow any kind of credibility get out, otherwise, they'd have to investigate where investigations might reveal the truth about stolen elections. ABC news and a 'democratic stronghold' go hand-in-hand towards protecting the fraud.

Someone please translate: They got rid of her because she cheated, or because she did not cheat enough? Will her replacement not cheat, or will she cheat more? I can never tell with this upside down world.
