“The Racine County sheriff is recommending charges against five state election officials because they told clerks to bypass state law during the coronavirus pandemic and send absentee ballots to nursing homes instead of first visiting in person. Attorney General Josh Kaul blasted the move made by Sheriff Christopher Schmaling on Wednesday, calling it ‘a disgraceful publicity stunt’ and ‘an abuse of authority.’ Schmaling said Wednesday in a news release he wants Commissioners Marge Bostelmann, Julie Glancey, Ann Jacobs, Dean Knudson and Mark Thomsen to be charged with five separate crimes related to the incident, including felony charges of misconduct in public office and election fraud and three misdemeanor counts of being a party to a crime.”
“Thomsen, Jacobs and Glancey are Democrats; Knudson and Bostelmann are Republicans. Schmaling is not recommending charges against staff of the Ridgewood Care Center or the local election clerks who oversaw absentee voting at the nursing home, which the sheriff alleges was handled improperly for eight voters. The announcement came a day after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said Racine County officials should charge a nursing home worker or local clerk if they believe election laws were broken at the facility but said he sees no reason to assume voting problems occurred at other nursing homes” the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Schmaling’s recommendation leaves out the sixth Wisconsin Elections Commission member, Bob Spindell, a Republican who had initially voted to allow the policy change for the Spring 2020 Wisconsin election, but against continuing it indefinitely in a subsequent vote. Spindell is famous for “advising” 2020 Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins on how to get on the ballot in the state in 2020 (he failed) and also being the only one to vote in favor of allowing Kanye West on to the 2020 ballot after the dumbass GOP lawyers delivered their scam ballot access petition paperwork two minutes after 5:00 pm on the final date state election laws allowed submissions, arguing he wanted to give Black Wisconsinites more “choice” on their ballots and didn’t mind his lawyers were too late. Spindell also attended the infamous August 2021 MyPillow CyberSymposium that exposed zero evidence of 2020 election hacking whatsoever.
