WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Tom Tiffany (WI-07) sent a letter to the City of Madison Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl requesting answers on how people in Madison were sent duplicate absentee ballots. This comes after recent reports say that “around 2,000” duplicate ballots have been sent out by the Madison Clerk’s Office.
Given the history of controversial and legally dubious election practices carried out by Madison officials in the past, including Maribeth Witzel-Behl’s personal history as an operative for the left-wing, “Zuckerbucks” financed Center for Tech and Civic Life, Rep. Tiffany demands transparency on how an “error” of this magnitude was allowed to happen at such a pivotal time.
In the letter, Tiffany demands answers on:
- How was this “error” discovered?
- Has the Clerk’s Office contacted law enforcement to investigate whether this “error” was the result of simple incompetence or a deliberate nefarious act?
- Has the Clerk’s Office identified what person or persons are responsible for this “error”?
- Has the Clerk’s Office taken steps to preserve all emails, internal communications, handwritten notes, and other records related to this “error”?
- What is the exact number of duplicate ballots that were sent out by the Clerk’s Office?
- The Clerk’s Office claims that this “error” affected voters in only one ward. Which ward was it?
- Has the Clerk’s Office received any reports of duplicate ballots in other wards, or conducted any due diligence to ensure that this “error” was limited to just a single ward?
- Have any of these duplicate ballots been returned to the Clerk’s Office, and if so, have they been set aside pending an investigation?
- The Clerk’s Office has claimed that the duplicate ballots have unique bar codes. Are these unique ballot bar codes linked to individual, identifiable voter profiles?
