Elected officials win another battle in an effort to stop voter fraud in Wisconsin after they had a restraining order lodged against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) after they illegally had absentee envelopes redesigned that would make it impossible to verify if absentee ballots were genuine. The WEC spent $600,000 on these illegal envelopes and will now have to reverse themselves and return to the previous ones.
Wisconsin election laws require people to place their applications inside the envelope, but what the WEC does is allow them to post it on the envelope there would be no chain of custody of the request for the ballot, making it easier to commit voter fraud in Wisconsin. In August of last year, the WEC announced the redesign of the absentee certification envelopes to “provide voters with a more user-friendly way to vote absentee in upcoming elections.” Unfortunately for Democrats and traitors like Robin Vos, the WEC does not have the power to change election law.
On Friday, a Marinette County judge granted a temporary restraining order against WEC after a lawsuit that made the point that the new envelopes violate current Wisconsin election laws. The court agreed, and they placed a restraining order against the WEC. The only fly in the ointment is that Democrat have the majority on the state Supreme Court and naturally, Democrats do not feel obligated to follow the law. According to Wisconsin law, an absentee voter must submit a signed statement inside the ballot envelope for it to be lawful. However, the new ballot envelope rolled out by WEC prompts voters to certify the envelopes themselves.
Scott and Eastman argue this violates existing state election laws since an envelope can’t replace a legally required application form.
In a press release, Scott stated, “The Hobson’s choice is either you sign a false statement under oath or you don’t get your absentee ballot counted. Now everybody should care about that. That’s not a partisan issue because these envelopes were created by the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.”

Scott added, “The problem with these envelopes is that they force voters, under penalty of law, to make a false statement. That false statement in which they’re returning an absentee ballot is a copy of the application for the absentee ballot. It’s the most ridiculous, absurd statement you could make.”
Further, Scott and Eastman argue that allowing these new envelopes to be used in future elections will disenfranchise Wisconsin absentee voters.
At a press conference in Union Grove on Monday, Eastman said, “So at this point in Wisconsin, the only way you can vote is in-person at a polling place because you can’t use the envelope until WEC fixes the envelope, or you know, the judge pulls the TRO. The point is, we have a state agency that is basically out of control.”
Election integrity hero State Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls), who was removed from her position on the Election Committee by anti-Trump Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos, calls the latest WEC scandal an “incredible disaster.”
According to The Federalist, Brandtjen said, “There is no trail for requesting a ballot. … This would make the mail-in delivery system untraceable.”
She added, “Do you just want to hand the election to the Democrats? There is no downside to cheating in the state of Wisconsin with Republicans who are uneducated or unwilling to understand election law as it stands.”
