Wisconsin Republican Senate Hold Historic Hearing on Appointing a New Administrator of Elections
Guest post by Jefferson Davis
Madison – In what can only be described as “historic”, the Wisconsin Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection held an Informational Hearing on the consideration of the Wisconsin Election Commission’s unanimous recommendation to nominate the current Administrator of Election to be reappointed for a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027, per Wisconsin State Statute 15.61.
The majority of the Wisconsin Elections Commission Members unanimously voted on June 27, 2023, to reappoint the current Administrator of Elections for a new 4-year term that was to end on June 30, 2023, by following the law and State Statute 15.61.
The 3 liberal progressive democrat Commissioners abstained from voting to reappoint the Administrator of Elections, while the 3 republican Commissioners voted in the majority to unanimously reappoint the current Administrator of Elections for a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027.
Realizing that liberal progressive democrats were angling to break the law and to keep the current Administrator of Elections in place indefinitely, the Wisconsin State Senate unanimously passed SR 3 on June 28, 2023, to have the Senate follow the law per State Statute 15.61 and consider the nomination of the current Administrator of Elections for a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027.
There is no “vacancy” for the position of Administrator of Elections.
There is a recommendation of the Wisconsin Election Commission to the Wisconsin Senate to reappoint the current Administrator of Elections to a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027.
The Wisconsin State Senate has the final confirmation of the Administrator of Elections as State Statute 15.61 specifically states that the Administrator of Elections shall be appointed by a majority of Members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission with the advice and consent of the Wisconsin State Senate.
The current Administrator of Elections has been the subject of heavy criticism and scrutiny regarding the administration of elections in Wisconsin over the past 3 years with The Gateway Pundit posting many articles from many different perspectives including voting machines being connected to the internet .
The current Administrator of Elections was involved in Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral College Votes being awarded to the Democrat Candidate for President in 2020 when all precincts in the state had reported with President Trump holding an insurmountable lead at midnight by some 110,000 votes.
A “lost” flash drive was then mysteriously found at 3:26 A.M. on November 4, 2020, by the City of Milwaukee Elections Director with some 170,000 “absentee” ballots that needed to be tabulated.
Shazamm, the first 20,000 votes go to President Trump and now he is ahead by 130,000 votes.
But the remaining 150,682 votes all go to the democrat candidate to provide the margin of victory (20, 682) and Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral College Votes.
Email exchanges between Zuckerberg Staffers and the City of Milwaukee Elections Clerk show them congratulating each other on the job well done of knowing exactly how votes were needed at midnight to push the democrat candidate over the top in securing Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral College Votes.
The current Administrator of Elections and Wisconsin Elections Commission completely accepted the explanation of the City of Milwaukee Elections Director and never asked any questions.
Wisconsin is one of a handful of states that has an Administrator of Elections.
The overwhelming majority of states (43) elect or have the governor/legislature appoint an Administrator of Elections.
The Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection opened the Informational Hearing to all citizens who wanted to speak in favor or opposition to the appointment of the current Administrator of Elections for a new 4-year term.
The Senate Hearing Room was standing room only and an overflow room had to be set up for an additional 15-20 attendees.
Attendees were given 5 minutes to speak.
27 attendees spoke in favor of replacing the current Administrator of Elections.
4 attendees, including one of Wisconsin Election Commission Members, spoke in favor of reappointing the current Administrator of Elections.
The Informational Hearing lasted for 4 hours.
Some of the more riveting testimony was provided from the four following perspectives with 5–6 minute videos:
What’s the Pathway Forward for the Administrator of Elections Position
The main takeaways from yesterday’s Senate Hearing are as follows involving the appointment of Administrator of Elections:
- The Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection may make a recommendation to Senate Leadership for a full Senate vote on their position involving the Administrator of Elections for the September 12-21, 2023, Floor Session.
- The Senate Leadership can schedule a vote on the Administrator of Elections without the recommendation of the Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection during the September 12-21, 2023, Floor Session.
- The Senate and Assembly Leadership can schedule the impeachment process for the removal of the Administrator of Elections per Wisconsin State Statute 17.06 and 17.07 (click here – Wisconsin Legislature: 17.06).
- When the Senate Leadership schedules a floor vote during the September 12-21, 2023, Floor Session, to remove the Administrator of Elections, then a “vacancy’ for that position will have been created.
- The Wisconsin Election Commission shall appoint a new Administrator of Elections and submit the appointment for Senate confirmation, no later than 45 days after the date of the “vacancy.”
- If the Wisconsin Election Commission has not appointed a new Administrator of Elections at the end of the 45-day period, then the Joint Committee on Legislative Organization shall appoint an interim Administrator of Elections to serve until a new Administrator of Elections has been confirmed by the Senate but for a term of no longer than one year.
- If the Administrator of Elections position remains vacant at the end of the one-year period, the process for filling the vacancy described in Statute 15.61, is repeated until the vacancy if filled.
The democrats at the Senate Hearing all but promised that they will be filing a lawsuit no matter what the Senate does regarding the Administrator of Elections position.
The behavior of the democrats at the Senate Hearing is not worthy of using the time and space of this post.
Suffice to say, it’s simply the same old same old of accusations, name-calling, demeaning comments, being snarky and daring anyone to challenge them.
Wisconsin and America deserves much better than this namby-pamby behavior as we strive to protect and preserve our beautiful constitutional representative republic, which is the liberal progressive democrats greatest fear!
The democrats will spend any amount of money and use any tactic necessary to hopefully pummel and beat every day average Americans into submission and trust that they will simply go away and drop out of participating in elections.
