Amherst, Virginia/October 22, 2021 – The Legislative Audit Bureau’s report about the 2020 election confirms The Amistad Project’s finding that Wisconsin election officials violated state law in order to benefit one political party with the help of private funding from partisan activist groups financed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and others.   The LAB audit, which numerous Democrat officials had previously expressed confidence in, identified a half-dozen instances of state and local election officials acting in a manner inconsistent with Wisconsin election statutes. In some cases, this involved municipal clerks acting on the basis of guidance issued by the Wisconsin Elections

Madison, Wis. — Today, the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau released its election audit, and as recounts, court cases, and Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security have already proven, the LAB found the 2020 election was “safe and secure.” But facts don’t matter to Republicans, who refuse to accept their election loss and are grasping at anything and everything to tear down our democracy and tighten their loosening grip on political power.   Despite the overwhelming evidence that the election was fair and secure, Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Kleefisch still insisted on “changes in how we run elections,” and complained about the Wisconsin Elections Commission

Madison, Wis. — Following Donald Trump’s endorsement of Sean Duffy last weekend, Rebecca Kleefisch went radio silent. Literally — she hasn’t appeared on conservative radio, or on any news outlet since Trump snubbed her campaign. Kleefisch excitedly asked for Trump’s opinion when she announced her gubernatorial run, saying, “I hope that Donald Trump gets involved in this race.” Endorsing one of her political rivals is probably not what Kleefisch had in mind. Trump drafting another candidate doesn’t come from a lack of effort on Kleefisch’s part — she has embraced the Big Lie, refused to rule out overturning election results, and embraced Trump’s

Madison – On Friday, the non-partisan Legislative Audit Bureau issued its review of the 2020 November Election which included 30 recommendations to the Wisconsin Elections Commission staff and 18 issues for legislative consideration. State Senator Alberta Darling issued the following statement in response. “On Friday, the Legislative Audit Bureau confirmed many of the issues my colleagues and I raised after the election. Republicans put together a series of common-sense reforms that incorporate many of the recommendations in this non-partisan report.

We have heard from voters all over the state that want to make sure their vote counts and these violations are not acceptable. “This audit proves why further investigation is necessary and it is imperative that Justice Gableman continues to look into what led to

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) today released the following statement after President Biden made comments in support of Taiwan during last night’s CNN Townhall. “Strategic ambiguity no longer serves the national interest. It is clear that President Biden agrees. It is also clear that the Chinese Communist Party will view these comments as reflective of our true Taiwan policy. It is time to move past academic debates over the nature of our commitment to Taiwan and get down to the hard work of defending it against the Chinese invasion that looks increasingly likely. “This means being honest with the American public
