City of Madison WI colluded with Biden camp to Harvest Absentee Ballots

City of Madison poll workers will be accepting in-person absentee ballots several weeks before the legally mandated date of October 20th. The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is abundantly clear on the fact that in-person early voting cannot begin a day earlier. “October 20, 2020 [is] the first day that municipal clerks may offer in-person absentee voting in their office or a satellite location,” WEC notes on its website. Since workers will be accepting ballots in person at more than 200 satellite locations in Madison’s public parks, this is a wanton violation of the legally mandated limits on in-person absentee voting.

In June, a unanimous Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld 2017 Wis. Act 369—which limited early voting to the 14 days before the Sunday immediately preceding Election Day. That limits in-person absentee voting in the upcoming presidential election to Tuesday, October 20th through Sunday, November 1st. The law is abundantly clear, yet the City of Madison—working with the Biden Campaign—is actively working to violate this law by accepting in-person ballots at satellite locations around the city on both September 26th and October 3rd.

This means that voters will be allowed to quite literally cast their ballot in person in a satellite location in front of a poll worker a full 24 days before Wisconsin Law allows for such activity. There is quite simply no justification for this whatsoever. It is a willful violation of both the letter and spirit of the law. It might also violate Wisconsin’s general prohibition of ballot harvesting. Under the common definition of the practice as noted by the Washington Post, ballot harvesting exists when “a voter fills out an absentee ballot, seals it in an envelope and does all the required security checks, like signing the back of the envelope so election experts can verify who voted. Then they entrust it to another person, who drops off the ballot at a mail center or ballot drop-off location.”

Here the City of Madison is caught between a legal rock and a hard place. Either its public park locations are not valid polling places and therefore its employees are engaged in illegal ballot harvesting, or they are valid polling places and the City of Madison is engaged in illegal in-person absentee voting. Even more distressingly, it is doing so in clear collusion with the Joe Biden Presidential Campaign. The ad for the early voting locations notes that it was “paid for by Biden for President” and includes Biden’s voice indicating that “I’m Joe Biden, candidate for President, and I approve this message.”
