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.

She wasn’t getting the fake ballots printed fast enough.

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.

It seems she printed over 60,000 ballots and got workers to fill them out while observers were barred. Of course, she hasn't been charged with anything (just like the burst-pipe-suitcase cheaters in GA). Pure speculation on my part: the fact that she is being replaced means they don't want her actions being investigated right before the election. And no doubt, her deputy that is replacing her will be the same.

I helps to realize that the Left sees the truth as sort of a tumbleweed.

Did Marc Elias write the article?

Perhaps the person they just fired would like to tell about what happened in 2020 and 2022, and the real reason she was replaced now. She should reveal the 2024 cheating plan.

“..falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 2020”


But why is there ‘slow counting’ of mail ballots in the first place? And why does the slow counting always seem to occur in districts controlled by democrats?

We’ll never know, but is is possible that Woodall & Gutierrez were in a spat about how many extra preprinted filled out ballots to print. Gutierrez was for more than Woodall, so she won.

2020 election saw over 120% of eligible voters voting, expect 150% in Nov. Then there is Dane county were 110% of eligible voters voted ...

Its Milwaukee, a democrat stronghold for over a century, so its more.

"got workers to fill them out while observers were barred."

Barred, after the glass partition stationed 4 feet between observers & ballot forgers counters, was not not effective for large scale cheating.

Sorry, I don’t see all the doomerism on this page. This woman’s DEPUTY was removed for election fraud. Not for supporting Trump.

Sounds to me like this is an actual election integrity move, trying to be spun by the Hoax News media.

Perhaps Woodall will align with a voter integrity group. She can detail the illegal procedures in Milwaukee, name names and tell where all the bodies are buried.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said

In one of the biggest successes in the new mayor’s eyes, Milwaukee appears to be on the cusp of winning the 2024 Republican National Convention after local leaders, both elected and unelected, wooed party leaders to the deeply Democratic city.

If the full Republican National Committee approves the choice next month, Milwaukee will notch its second national political convention in as many presidential elections.

More likely she indicated she is not backing President Poopy Pants.
That alone will get you fired.
