In Wisconsin, there are 119,283 "active voters" who have been registered for over 100 years!
The number is over 500K when you add in inactive voters
Milwaukee election officials assisted non profit by providing private voter data to democrat group to add voters directly to the WI voter roll and bypass the state.
WI voter database padded voter registration numbers with precursor â0000sâ which allows for manipulating voter registration.
The margin of victory is a mere 20,000 votes.
WI has 4.5 million residents over the age of 18. The Wisconsin Election Commission has more than 7 million voters on the roll.

WISCONSIN HEARING SHOWS 500,000 VOTERS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR OVER 100 YEARS AND OTHER âRED FLAGSâ
A public hearing on Wisconsinâs voter rolls on Wednesday revealed widespread opportunity for election fraud through old voter rolls.
According to the stateâs Committee on Campaign and Elections, there are 119,283 âactive votersâ and hundreds of thousands more âinactiveâ voters who have been registered for over a century.
This number, which totals over 500,000, leaves the door wide open for bad actors to cast invalid votes on behalf of those names who have since passed away sometime in the past 100 years.
Also sounding the alarm is 42,000 voters listed as âinactiveâ as of August 2021, but somehow voted in the November 2020 election.
Liz Harrington, President Donald Trumpâs official spokeswoman, emphasized this âMajor RED FLAG for phantom voters, which is double the margin in the 2020 Election Scam!â

â Liz Harrington (@realLizUSA) December 8, 2021
This hearing comes amid increasing attention on Wisconsinâs 2020 election results, being that it was a swing state Trump heavily focused on during the campaign and was poised to win. After winning Wisconsin in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, Trump allegedly lost it to Joe Biden by a slim margin of just 20,682 votes.
Because of the speculation regarding the legitimacy of the results, GOP lawmakers recently succeeded in pressing the state to conduct a 2020 election audit, which yielded shocking levels of irregularities and evidences of fraud.
Since then, a sheriff in Racine County filed criminal referrals against Wisconsin election officials due to what they believe is election tampering.
One Wisconsin lawmaker, after having seen the mountainous proof of an insecure presidential election, has called to decertify the 2020 presidential election.

CHINA FIRST: Biden-Linked CCP Oil Firm Hits Record Production Amidst Keystone Pipeline Cancellation.
Increasing evidence suggests Joe Biden is running the American government for the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party.
AChinese state-run oil and gas company linked to the son of the President of the United States, Hunter Biden, hit record levels of production amidst President Bidenâs decision to halt the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Sinopec, also known as China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, is a Chinese Communist regime-controlled oil and gas enterprise. Its âfully-owned subsidiaryâ Sinopec Marketing Company enjoyed nearly $1 billion in investment from Hunter Bidenâs private equity firm BHR Partners.
Finalized in March 2015, the investments from the controversial investment fund led to BHR Partners amassing a nearly 30 percent stake in Sinopec.
Hunter reportedly still owns a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners.
China First.
Under the Biden government, Sinopecâs Fuling Shale Gas Field hit a country-wide record for production quantity.
A company press release notes:
Fuling Shale Gas Field â the first commercially developed and operated large-scale shale gas field in China â announced on October 8 that it has produced 40 billion cubic meters of shale gas, setting a new record for the cumulative production of shale gas in the country.
BHR Partnerâs LinkedIn profile highlights its Sinopec investment, revealing it was involved âin the pilot state-owned enterprise reform deal involving the segregation and capitalization of Sinopec Groupâs non-oil business into Sinopec Marketing Corporation.â
Sinopecâs record-breaking success follows the Biden regimeâs assault on American energy independence, including the cancellation of the critical Keystone XL Pipeline and shutting down oil and gas lease sales from federal land in his first days in office.
The bitch has time to post fake telegram accounts but can't post a complete statement from Trump.

John Durham says evidence shows Michael Sussmann lied when pushing Trump-Russia claims
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter | | December 08, 2021 12:02 PM
John Durham pushed back on Michael Sussmannâs claims that former FBI General Counsel James Baker undermined the special counselâs false statements indictment against the Democratic lawyer, contending evidence from five government employees, including Baker, supports the charge.
The indictment against Sussmann centers on a Sept. 19, 2016, meeting between him and Baker in which Sussmann pushed debunked allegations of a secret back channel between Russiaâs Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization. Durham contends that while Sussmann told Baker he was not working for any particular client, Sussmann was secretly doing the bidding of Hillary Clintonâs campaign and billing his services to her, as well as working on behalf of technology executive Rodney Joffe.
Sussmann denies misleading the FBI and pleaded not guilty .
As part of its effort to push for an early May 2022 trial date instead of the late July 2022 trial date preferred by prosecutors, Sussmannâs team claimed on Monday that last week, Durhamâs team handed over documents about Bakerâs statements about the 2016 meeting that it said âdirectly contradict the Special Counselâs allegation that Mr. Sussmann affirmatively told Mr. Baker that he was not meeting with him on behalf of any clients.â The team pointed to excerpts of interviews Baker gave to DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitzâs investigators in 2019 and to Durhamâs team in 2020.
Durhamâs team quickly pushed back in a Tuesday court filing.
âAs the defendant is aware from discovery, both of those interviews occurred years after the events in question, and Mr. Baker made these statements before he had the opportunity to refresh his recollection with contemporaneous or near-contemporaneous notes that have been provided to the defense in discovery,â Durhamâs team said. âIndeed, the defendantâs motion entirely ignores law enforcement reports of Mr. Bakerâs subsequent three interviews with the Special Counselâs Office in which he affirmed and then re-affirmed his now-clear recollection of the defendantâs false statement.â
Durhamâs team made it clear in October that it plans to call Baker to testify to prove its case.
Sussmannâs team noted to the court that Baker said in an excerpt of an interview from 2019 that Sussmann talked about âhis clients, who were, he described as I recall it, sort of cyber-security experts.â Durhamâs team also wrote in an excerpted summary in 2020 that âBaker said that Sussmann did not specify that he was representing a client regarding the matter, nor did Baker ask him if he was representing a client. Baker said it did not seem like Sussmann was representing a client.â
Sussmannâs lawyers said the existence of what they see as exculpatory information âonly underscores the baseless and unprecedented nature of this indictment.â
But Durhamâs team said that the discovery handed over to Sussmannâs team so far actually âreflects that the recollections and/or contemporaneous records of five separate government employees support the Indictmentâs allegations.â
In the indictment , Durham said Baker spoke with Bill Priestap, then the assistant director of the FBIâs counterintelligence division, after meeting with Sussmann, that Priestap âtook contemporaneous notes,â and that Sussmann had said he was not doing his work "for any client.â
The prosecutors noted that Sussmann failed to mention that another high-ranking official in the FBI Office of General Counsel also took notes that reflect that Sussmann told Baker he had âno specific client.â Durhamâs team also said that Sussmannâs motion ignored a memorandum by two âAgency-2â employees after their Feb. 9, 2017, meeting with Sussmann that also reflected that Sussmann said he was not representing âa particular client.â
Durhamâs team argued that it was âmeritlessâ for Sussmann to claim that a May 2022 trial date is needed because the prosecution had allegedly only belatedly disclosed Brady evidence, with the prosecutors contending that âthe defendantâs motion provides a skewed portrayal of the purported Brady evidence at issue by cherry-picking excerpts from the substantial discovery the Government has already provided to the defense.â
âBrady evidenceâ refers to the Supreme Court decision in Brady v. Maryland that requires prosecutors to hand over all potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense.
Baker, who left the FBI in 2018, previously defended the flawed Trump-Russia investigation and the FBIâs handling of Christopher Steeleâs dossier. Steeleâs main source, Igor Danchenko, was also indicted by Durham for allegedly lying to the FBI.
Durhamâs team argued that it âshares the defendantâs desire to conduct as speedy a trial as possible in this caseâ but emphasized it âinvolves complex discovery and occurs in the midst of an international pandemic.â The prosecutors argued that âa trial date in late July 2022 is reasonable and necessary for the Government to fully declassify and produce discoveryâ and contended that Sussmannâs request for a May 2022 trial date âwould rush and unnecessarily truncateâ what needs to happen before the trial.
The prosecutors noted they had handed over more than 91,000 pages in unclassified discovery and more than 5,000 pages in classified discovery to the defense team and insisted that the team was still âworking expeditiously to satisfy its discovery obligations."

Wisconsin Voter Roll Anomalies Presented at the WI Campaigns & Election Committee Hearing Today
(https://wiseye.org/?p=25751)
Veteran software and database engineer Jeff OâDonnell shared his analysis of Wisconsinâs August 2021 voter file at the Wisconsin Campaigns & Election Committee hearing today. He found âsignificant red flagsâ and âhighly suspicious issues,â including:
⢠Although Wisconsinâs population is 5.8M with approximately 4.5M eligible to vote, there are more than 7M separate voter records, suggesting that voters are placed on inactive status rather than being removed.
⢠Approximately 3.3M Wisconsinites voted in the 2020 election, representing 93.7% of the stateâs 3.5M active voters.
⢠121,251 active WI voters have been registered for 110 - 119 years (https://t.me/LibertyOverwatchChannel/6114); in total, more than 500K active and inactive voters have a January 1, 1918 registration date. OâDonnell points out that while that date may have been used as a placeholder when information was missing, 500K is an alarmingly high number.
⢠According to the WI LAB audit report (https://t.me/LibertyOverwatchChannel/5796), 957,977 voters registered as new voters in 2020; 45,665 of these new voters registered with a driverâs license that did not match DMV records.
⢠205,355 active voters have a registration application date of November 3, 2020.
⢠10% of voters in the WI voter file (22% of all active voters) registered between May 3, 2020 and November 3, 2020.
⢠31,872 of the voters who registered during the 6 months leading up to the 2020 election are now listed as inactive.
⢠In total, 42K voters (https://t.me/LizHarrington76/2290) who voted in the 2020 election are now listed inactive; OâDonnell points out that, even factoring in changes of address, 42K is an âexcessiveâ number of deactivations for recently active voters.
â˘The WI registration database API allows users to âswitch voters to active at any time as needed.â
âIn conclusion, the irregularities and red flags found by both this report and the Valentine report indicate a huge potential for nefarious actors to access the WI registration system and⌠manipulate any voterâs status. There needs to be an investigation by competent outside database experts to explain the causes of the specific anomalies⌠and examine the system log files for evidence of external intrusion. The investigation also needs to determine if third party voter organizations have been granted access to the system to create, manipulate, or improperly utilize voter records.â

Meadows sues Pelosi, Jan. 6 panel and its members
Donald Trump's former chief of staff has claimed he canât discuss matters that could be covered by executive privilege.
Mark Meadows, facing the looming prospect of criminal contempt of Congress charges, is suing to block a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee, arguing that it unconstitutionally intrudes on former President Donald Trump's powers to invoke executive privilege.
The former White House chief of staff filed the suit Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Washington against Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the members of the Capitol riot panel and the committee itself. His attorney says heâs been put in an âuntenable positionâ of choosing to defy the committee â and risk criminal prosecution â or defy his former boss Donald Trumpâs attempt to assert executive privilege to block his testimony.
âThe Select Committee acts absent any valid legislative power and threatens to violate longstanding principles of executive privilege and immunity that are of constitutional origin and dimension,â the suit filed by Meadowsâ attorney George Terwilliger contends.
The Jan. 6 select panel has signaled that it is preparing to hold Meadows in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate, a move that would send the matter to the Justice Department for potential criminal charges. The panel has rejected Meadowâs claim, noting that current President Joe Biden has not asserted privilege to block Meadowsâ testimony. Trump, a former president, has no role in asserting privilege anymore, they say â a position recently supported by another federal judge in Trumpâs own lawsuit against the committee.
Asked about the new lawsuit, select panel chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said the panel still planned to move forward with holding Meadows in contempt of Congress next week.
âWe will fight it out in court, and we will move with as much expeditious format as we can,â he said.
Asked about Meadowsâ claim the committee didn't have âlawful authorityâ to seek information, Thompson said âin this town, every lawyer has at least one opinion.â
Another panel member, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said of the lawsuit: âSounds like he's trying to delay.â
Last week, Meadows agreed to sit for a deposition before the Jan. 6 committee, but on Tuesday his lawyers said he would no longer appear, citing efforts by the committee to go through third-party vendors, such as telephone companies, to obtain records that might be covered by executive privilege.
Over the course of negotiations, Meadows repeatedly offered to answer written questions or discuss topics he deemed ânon-privilegedâ â including details of his contacts with the Justice Department, which Trump sought to deploy in service of overturning the election. But even within those topics, Meadows described limitations on what he would share.
And he also suggested deferring testimony to the committee about his involvement with a call from Trump to Georgia election officials that has been the subject of a grand jury investigation in Fulton County. But the panel never accepted his offer, reserving the right to ask him about topics he deemed privileged.
In his lawsuit, Meadows also levels a procedural complaint against the committee, noting that Pelosi rejected the appointment of two GOP members selected by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to serve on the panel. After Pelosiâs decision, McCarthy pulled his remaining appointees from the committee, leaving Pelosiâs picks as the only remaining members. Pelosi then appointed two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Kinzinger, to the panel.
Meadows contends that McCarthyâs decision to withdraw his remaining picks left the panel without a ranking Republican appointee. Yet the committeeâs subpoena authority requires that the ranking members be consulted on subpoena decisions.
"The ordering of Mr. Meadowsâ deposition runs afoul of the Select Committeeâs authorizing resolution, making it invalid and unenforceable,â Meadows contends.
Meadows also mirrors one of Trumpâs central arguments: that the Jan. 6 committee serves no âvalid legislative purpose.â
In addition to seeking to block the subpoena to Meadows, the suit filed Wednesday seeks to quash a subpoena the House panel issued to Verizon Wireless for records about the former White House chief of staffâs cell phone use.
Meadows' suit appears similar to one filed in 2019 by former Trump Deputy National Security Adviser Charles Kupperman over a House Intelligence Committee subpoena seeking Kupperman's testimony for use in an impeachment investigation focused on Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
In response to that suit, lawyers for the House argued that the courts cannot entertain suits from subpoenaed witnesses seeking to resolve such privilege claims.
Kuppermanâs suit was framed as a request for guidance from the court, and, at times, Meadowsâ suit takes a similar tack.
âMr. Meadows, a witness, has been put in the untenable position of choosing between conflicting privilege claims that are of constitutional origin and dimension and having to either risk enforcement of the subpoena issued to him, not merely by the House of Representatives, but through actions by the Executive and Judicial Branches, or, alternatively, unilaterally abandoning the former presidentâs claims of privileges and immunities,â the suit says. âThus, Mr. Meadows turns to the courts to say what the law is.â
However, the bulk of Meadowsâ court complaint takes a more hostile stance towards the committee. Although just days ago he was pledging cooperation with the panel, Meadowsâ attorneys are now arguing that the committee was not properly constituted under House rules.
âThis information has no bearing on any contemplated constitutional legislation. It is relevant only to serve the Select Committeeâs stated purpose of engaging in ad-hoc law enforcement and its unstated purpose of antagonizing its political adversary,â the complaint says.
The House Intelligence Committee dropped its subpoena to Kupperman before the judge assigned to that case, George W. Bush appointee Richard Leon, ruled on whether a witness can take such a fight to court. Leon later dismissed the case.
Another witness subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee, former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, is facing criminal contempt of Congress charges for his refusal to appear before the committee. He is set to face trial in July.
