January 25, 2022 - Introduced by Representative Ramthun. Referred to Committee

on Rules.

AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

1 Relating to: Wisconsin election reform and reclaiming the electoral ballots for

2 President and Vice President that were certified under fraudulent intent and

3 purpose.

4 Whereas, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) enabled the illegal use of

5 over 500 voter drop boxes in Wisconsin, infringing Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (6), in all 72

6 counties under Elections Commission guidance issued on August 19, 2020, and the

7 use of drop boxes was organized by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security

8 Agency (CISA), which worked in conjunction with other national organizations like

9 the CTCL, Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), and National

10 Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which, on October 2, 2020, promoted

11 CISA's campaign of illegal drop boxes; and

12 Whereas, the Wisconsin Supreme Court stated in Trump v. Biden, 2020 WI 91,

13 “On March 25, 2020, the Dane and Milwaukee County Clerks issued guidance on

14 Facebook suggesting all voters could declare themselves indefinitely confined

15 because of the pandemic and the governor's then-existing Safer-at-Home Order.

1 This court unanimously deemed that advice incorrect on March 31, 2020, and we

2 noted that the WEC guidance . . . provides the clarification on the purpose and proper

3 use of the indefinitely confined status that is required at this time,” which verifies

4 that the Elections Commission gave improper guidance in the 2020 election, and in

5 her dissent in Trump v. Biden, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Grassl

6 Bradley revealed that the Elections Commission infringed Wis. Stat. §§ 5.05 (1), 6.84

7 (1) and (2), 6.86, 6.87 (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), and (9), and 227.112 (3); and

8 Whereas, on December 7, 2020, Elections Commissioner Dean Knudson filed

9 a complaint against Meagan Wolfe under Wis. Stat. § 7.70 (5) for the rushed

10 ascertainment of certification of the 2020 election before time for filing an appeal of

11 the recount had passed, and revealed the planned haste to circumvent any further

12 discussion or objection; and

13 Whereas, the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections has collected

14 nearly 3,000 documents and e-mails with connection to election manipulations by

15 the CTCL in five of Wisconsin's largest cities, and there are five lawsuits in those

16 cities against the Elections Commission; and

17 Whereas, data experts have studied the historical voter trends based on

18 population growth for both the entirety of the State of Wisconsin and its counties

19 individually, and those studies reveal the normal inverse relationship of data was not

20 present in the 2020 election results, which is a statistical impossibility; and

21 Whereas, the WisVote database reflects 7.1 million registered voters in a state

22 with a population of 5.8 million and a voting age population of 4.5 million, and the

23 WisVote database is riddled with incomplete and misrepresented data, including

24 thousands of voters with the same phone numbers, addresses, and faulty zip codes,

25 all of which reflects gross negligence in maintaining the database; and

[2/4]

1 Whereas, grassroots canvassing efforts reveal 200 addresses in 31 counties in

2 Wisconsin that have 200 to 400 registered voters at a single address, and a sampling

3 of 1,000 actual 2020 absentee ballot envelopes from Milwaukee County found 23

4 percent had questionable addresses; and

5 Whereas, the Elections Commission voted to do upgrades on Dominion voting

6 machines on June 2, 2021, and, following a press release on August 11, 2021, voicing

7 concerns about the deletion of log file data from those upgrades, the commission

8 voted to allow upgrades to new ES&S voting machines on September 9, 2021, with

9 no reassurances of protecting the data of the 2020 election on older machines, even

10 though it was revealed the upgrades do erase log file data kept on the machine hard

11 drives; and

12 Whereas, the audit report of the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau

13 identified 44,272 voters who did not provide proper voter identification in the 2020

14 general election, revealed the mass increase of indefinitely confined voters from

15 4,505 in 2019 to 169,901 in 2020, revealed that 28.7 percent of all municipal clerks

16 across all 72 counties used illegal drop boxes, and made 30 recommendations for the

17 Elections Commission to rectify their actions; and

18 Whereas, a total of 50 of the 69 county GOP parties released letters of support

19 or resolutions asking for further investigation into the elections process, showing

20 that over two-thirds of Wisconsin Republicans have no faith in the Elections

21 Commission; and

22 Whereas, commissioners and staff of the Elections Commission prevented the

23 deployment of special voting deputies to care facilities, as confirmed by the Racine

24 County Sheriff's Department, which found that on March 12, 2020, the Elections

25 Commission knowingly and willfully directed all 72 county clerks to violate Wis.

1 Stat. §§ 6.84 and 6.875 regarding absentee voting in certain residential care facilities

2 and retirement homes, and the commission's unlawful direction clearly broke Wis.

3 Stat. § 12.13 (2) (b) 7., which refers to intentionally violating election laws; and

4 Whereas, at its December 8, 2021, public hearing, the Assembly Committee on

5 Campaigns and Elections heard testimony from expert analyst Jeff O'Donnell, who

6 found a multitude of irregularities when he analyzed data from the Wisconsin voter

7 rolls, including that 93.7 percent of active voters participated in the 2020 general

8 election, 205,355 voter registration applications were dated November 3, 2020,

9 957,977 individuals registered as new voters in 2020, 45,665 voters who registered

10 did not have matching Division of Motor Vehicle records, 22 percent of active voters

11 registered in the 6 months leading up to November, 3, 2020, 31,872 of those voters

12 who registered in that 6-month period are now listed as inactive, and 42,000 voters

13 who voted in the November 3, 2020, election are now listed as inactive; and

14 Whereas, at its December 8, 2021, public hearing, the Assembly Committee on

15 Campaigns and Elections heard testimony from expert analyst Dr. Douglas Frank,

16 who revealed that patterns in the Wisconsin voter rolls showed that the voter rolls

17 were inflated to the maximum possible number of voters according to census

18 population data for every presidential election in Wisconsin since 2008 and that the

19 voter rolls were purged shortly after each such election, and that these patterns were

20 consistent across all 72 counties in Wisconsin, revealing that these activities were

21 centrally controlled; and

22 Whereas, at its December 8, 2021, public hearing, the Assembly Committee on

23 Campaigns and Elections heard testimony from Attorney Erick Kaardal, who

24 identified that the money provided by the CTCL and Mark Zuckerberg to local

25 governments in Wisconsin relating to the 2020 general election violated Wis. Stat.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2021/related/proposals/ajr120

[3/4]

1 § 12.11, which prohibits election bribery and states that “`anything of value' includes

2 any amount of money, or any object which has utility independent of any political

3 message it contains and the value of which exceeds $1,” and that amount was greatly

4 exceeded; and

5 Whereas, at the Growing Threats to Election Officials in Wisconsin Press

6 Conference held on December 13, 2021, it was revealed that the CEIR is a biased

7 organization that also received funding from Mark Zuckerberg, along with the

8 CTCL, and that the CEIR is seeking to provide pro bono defense attorneys to election

9 officials who used the CTCL money in the 2020 general election; and

10 Whereas, on January 13, 2022, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael

11 Bohren issued an oral ruling in court holding that the Elections Commission's

12 guidance on absentee ballot drop boxes should have been promulgated as a rule

13 under Wis. Stat. ch. 227; that state law provides just two legal methods for a voter

14 to return an absentee ballot: through the mail or in-person at the municipal clerk's

15 office or an alternate site designated according to law; and that ballot harvesting and

16 returning absentee ballots to drop boxes are not legal methods to cast absentee

17 ballots in Wisconsin; and

18 Whereas, the U.S. Supreme Court has found that fraud vitiates and nullifies

19 any contract: Boyce's Executors v. Grundy (1830) 28 U.S. 210; “Fraud vitiates the

20 most solemn contracts, documents and even judgments.” United States v.

21 Throckmorton (1878) 98 U.S. 61, 64; and

22 Whereas, the November 2020 Wisconsin general election, as regulated and

23 directed by the Elections Commission, was one of the most haphazard, controversial,

24 and poorly managed elections in state history, shaking citizens' confidence in fair

25 elections across Wisconsin, and with the culmination of these evidences, prove the

1 results of the commission's certification of the 2020 election are considered

2 fraudulent; now, therefore, be it

3 Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the accumulated

4 evidence proves the actions taken by the Elections Commission to certify the 2020

5 presidential election shall be considered contrary to law and fraudulent under Wis.

6 Stat. §§ 6.84, 6.87 (6), 6.875, 12.11, and 12.13 (2) (b) 7.; and, be it further

7 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature, pursuant to its authority under

8 Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution and 3 U.S.C. § 2, and consistent

9 with guidance provided by the Constitutional Counsel Group in a memorandum

10 dated December 30, 2021, acknowledges that illegality took place in conducting the

11 2020 general election and reclaims Wisconsin's 10 fraudulent electoral ballots cast

12 for Joseph R. Biden and Kamala Harris; and, be it further

13 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature shall pass legislation with the

14 intention to clean up the WisVote database and create separate servers for active and

15 inactive voters; and, be it further

16 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature supports a full forensic physical and

17 cyber audit of the 2020 general election, that this full forensic physical and cyber

18 audit should be conducted by an independent and nonpartisan auditing firm with a

19 scope statement approved by the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections,

20 and that this full forensic physical and cyber audit must include the following

21 components:

22 1. Total examination of voting system machines, including browsers,

23 tabulators, scanners, routers and firewalls, switches, network and out-of-band

24 management cards, internet or network connectivity, network and remote access,

25 remote access applications, software installed or removed on the system, flash

1 drives, thumb drives, event logs, scripts that have been run, the date on which data

2 were last modified and what data were modified, whether during or after the

3 election, systems and security updates, password policies, multifactor

4 authentication, databases, adjudication records, administrator accounts, and log-in

5 records.

6 2. Kinematic artifact detection of all physical paper ballots, including whether

7 ballots meet industry maximum allowable compliance for out-of-calibration

8 measurements, ballot thickness to prevent bleed through, types of markers used,

9 printed ballots, quantity of ballots, ballot trail, voter roll in comparison to ballots,

10 mail-in ballot standards, and ballot watermarks and dot coding.

11 3. Physical canvas, including whether county clerks and election employees

12 and volunteers followed election rules and regulations mandated by their county.

13 4. Transparency; and, be it further

14 Resolved, That in order to ensure transparency, all such audits shall be

15 streamed live for public viewing and recorded via security video to be run 24 hours

16 a day, 7 days a week, until all such audits are complete; and, be it further

17 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature shall pass legislation specifically

18 intended to secure the integrity of future elections in Wisconsin based on the findings

19 of the Legislative Audit Bureau investigation, the Assembly Committee on

20 Campaigns and Elections investigation, and the full forensic physical and cyber

21 audit; and, be it further

22 Resolved, That the secretary of state of the State of Wisconsin is hereby

23 directed to forward a proper authenticated copy of this resolution to the President

24 of the Senate of the United States.
