In a resounding victory for the rule of law, Wisconsin’s 2nd District Court of Appeals delivered a decisive blow to the leftist agenda on March 12th. By unanimously blocking the Democrats’ attempt to bypass established election laws, the court has preserved election integrity for the state. This bold move comes as a response to the liberal push to allow online voting methods without sufficient oversight, just in time for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1st.
Back in June 2024, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Everett Mitchell had ruled in favor of allowing voters with disabilities to request absentee ballots electronically. The ruling stated that voters who self-certify inability to handle paper ballots could independently use devices to cast their votes at home. However, they still needed to mail or hand-deliver their ballots like any other absentee voter. Read the full story here.
This decision was quickly challenged by the Republican-controlled legislature, and the Appellate Court intervened to ensure this ruling wouldn’t disrupt the 2024 presidential election. With fewer than 100,000 visually impaired residents in Wisconsin, the implications of such a ruling were significant.
The Democrats’ relentless strategy, an embodiment of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” paired with the Cloward-Piven approach, aims to overwhelm the electoral system. Their arsenal includes vast financial resources, a fleet of attorneys, and a network of sympathetic judges. Despite knowing they might not ultimately succeed, their objective is to disrupt and stall the process, with the mainstream media often cheering them on.
Currently, only military and overseas voters in Wisconsin have the privilege of receiving ballots via email. The commendable Judges of the 2nd District—Judges Gundrum, Lazar, and Grogan—stood firm in their commitment to uphold the law and prevent any attempt to create laws that could unfairly tip the scales in favor of Democrats. The decision not to appeal this ruling from liberal operatives signals a tactical retreat, though they might still seek changes at the Circuit Court level with anticipated judicial support.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu hailed the ruling as a triumph for the rule of law and the security of Wisconsin’s elections. He emphasized that allowing courts to determine internet voting could undermine election integrity. Even Wisconsin’s Department of Justice, led by Hillary Clinton’s ally Josh Kaul, admitted to potential “security risks” and “confusion” stemming from such processes.
