Private money to fund elections will be banned in Wisconsin after voters approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday put forward by Republicans in reaction to grants received in 2020 that were funded by donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Voters also approved a second question put on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Legislature that amends the constitution to say that only election officials can administer elections. That’s already state law, but putting it in the constitution makes it more difficult to repeal or change. Democrats opposed both measures, which they argued would make it more difficult to conduct elections in the...

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday approved a pair of Republican-backed constitutional amendments that will change how elections are run in the critical battleground state, according to projections from The Associated Press. The first measure, labeled on the ballot as Question 1, will ban the use of private funds in election administration — often referred derisively to by conservatives as “Zuckerbucks.” The second measure, Question 2, narrows the role and definition of an election worker. Specifically, the measure asked voters to decide whether “only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums.” Opponents had...

Conservatives are angry that Gallagher’s poorly timed resignation will leave the district without representation for the better part of a year.U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher’s decision to leave Congress — and leave his fellow Republicans and his Wisconsin constituents in the lurch — isn’t sitting well in conservative corners.... Extremely Bad Timing Gallagher announced last month that he would not seek reelection to the seat he first won in the Trump-led red wave of 2016. Last week, he stunned Republicans in announcing that his last day would be April 19. His departure alone would effectively leave already razor-thin Republican control of...

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – A new poll measuring who may replace Republican Mike Gallagher in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional district shows one candidate currently holds a large lead over the field. According to the latest Cygnal poll, Alex Bruesewitz, CEO of X Strategies, leads with 36 percent, followed by state senator Andrew Jacque with 15 percent, and former state senator Roger Roth with 12 percent. In addition, the poll revealed that 64% of respondents preferred an outsider in politics over a professional politician, which would help Bruesewitz, who has never held public office.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A jury found former Milwaukee election official Kimberly Zapata guilty on all four counts Wednesday after a three-day trial involving election fraud. She faced three misdemeanors for election fraud and a felony misconduct charge in public office. The 47-year-old woman admitted to illegally requesting absentee ballots for non-existent military voters in October of 2022 when she served as deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission. During closing arguments on Wednesday morning, the state told the jury not to focus on Zapata's intentions, arguing that breaking the law is still a crime. Prosecutor Matthew Westphal said Zapata...

The answer for those who hate the invasion of Zuckbucks is ‘Yes’ times two on the April 2 referendum questions.Hey, Wisconsin: The future of “Zuckbucks” is coming to a ballot near you. Badger State voters have the opportunity on Tuesday, April 2 to kill the snake of private funding in election administration, which consumed the 2020 elections under cover of Covid thanks in large part to the “generous” donations of Facebook founder and conservative speech silencer Mark Zuckerberg. Coupled with a meaningless presidential primary and a spate of local elections, two critical questions on the spring election ballot ask voters...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday to push for Rep. Mike Gallagher’s (R-Wis.) expulsion from Congress ahead of his scheduled departure next month to allow his district time to select a new representative. Gallagher, the chair of the House Select Committee on China, announced last month that he would not seek reelection. On Friday, however, he said his last day would be April 19. His scheduled departure date would leave the House GOP conference with a decidedly slim majority, perhaps for the remainder of the year; Wisconsin election law requires a special election...

War on food is spreading in U.S. through land-use restrictions, geoengineering and waves of propaganda Remember, it really is all about depopulation The World Economic Forum warned us several years ago that its ultimate goal was to destroy the middle class. How else would you explain their slogan: “You will own nothing and learn to like it“? This mantra is playing out in real time in the state of Oregon, and other states, in various forms which we will get into in this article. Small farmers are under attack in the Beaver State, which has begun shutting down family farms...

Leftist election fraud happens every 2 year cycle – it just happens a little differently each time. In 2024, the unique new fraud scheme – demonstrated in the data – at scale, in multiple states – now – is registering illegal aliens, flown in via the Biden Express, delivered to newly formed homeless addresses – then sending the migrants on their way – and collecting their ballots – and voting them. This is not a maybe. It was discovered by the Wisconsin team – using INNOVATION. This is happening at super scale – think hundreds of thousands already – it...

A Wisconsin election official tried to say she was a whistleblower pointing out flaws in our voting systems, but the jury felt otherwise. Kimberly Zapata, a former deputy director for the Milwaukee Election Commission, was found guilty on March 20 of misconduct in office and election fraud after ordering fake military ballots. However, she says it was never her intention for them to be processed. She was indicted last November. The trial lasted three days, where Zapata didn’t testify. The election cycle where Zapata pursued this fake military ballot scheme was during the 2022 midterms (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):🚨🚨And here...

WASHINGTON — Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who announced last month he would not run for re-election, will resign from Congress early, he confirmed in a statement Friday. Gallagher’s departure before the end of his term in January is another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans, who have been struggling to govern and demonstrate stability this Congress. Two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News of Gallagher's plan to resign early on Friday. The Wisconsin Republican then released a statement announcing that he will depart on April 19. The speaker's office confirmed that Gallagher informed Johnson of...

In November 2022, Rep. Janel Brandtjen, then Chair of the Assembly on Campaigns and Elections, sent out an election fraud alert. Rep. Brandtjen received three authentic military ballots to her home addressed to “Holly,” a woman who has never lived there. Brantjen believed this was part of a scheme to steal votes in Wisconsin. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states where military ballots shockingly went almost entirely to Joe Biden. We posted evidence that this occurred in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia. Later that week Wisconsin radio host Dan O’Donnell broke...

Organizers of an effort to oust Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced on March 10 that their petition had collected enough signatures to trigger a recall election. Mr. Vos’s response to certain election integrity efforts in the wake of the 2020 election drew the ire of supporters of former President Donald Trump who maintain that the election was stolen. Campaign organizer Matt Snorek of Racine County now says the petition has collected more than the necessary 6,850 signatures from voters in Mr. Vos’s southeast Wisconsin district. “With more than 10,000 signatures on our recall petition, they’ve said it loud...

Republicans are gearing up for what could be an epic showdown for majority control of the Senate with several contentious elections around the country later this year. Democrats control the U.S. Senate with a 51-49 majority, but Republicans are looking at a favorable Senate map in 2024, with Democrats defending 23 of the 34 seats up for grabs.

Riley's murder has sparked a national outcry and fresh debate over the Biden border crisis, with his critics pointing to her case as just one of all too many examples where illegal immigrants take advantage of Biden's lax policies as well as those in Democrat-run sanctuary cities, and end up victimizing people in the process. ...
