2021 Assembly Resolution 3
- Relating to: addressing election law violations.
- Whereas, in the United States, the power to govern is given by the people
- through the process of democratic elections. It is by this process that our government
- obtains legitimacy; and
- Whereas, we have three branches of government, and the legislative branch,
- consisting of duly elected representatives of the people, is the branch charged with
- the power to write the laws. It is through this process that our government maintains
- legitimacy; and
- Whereas, when the executive branch or administrative agencies charged with
- enforcing the laws instead choose to step outside of the law, or go beyond the law, or
- stretch the law to something other than what is written, the legitimacy of the
- government begins to erode; and
- Whereas, the 2020 election and the recount of the results of the presidential
- election have brought to light a number of areas in which the letter of the law is not
- being followed. Those circumstances of departure from the letter of the law include,
- but are not limited to, the following:
- 1. Clerks provided absentee ballots to electors without applications, as
- required by Wis. Stat. § 6.86.
- 2. Clerks and deputy clerks authorized by the municipal clerk failed to write
- on the official ballot, in the space for official endorsement, the clerk's initials and
- official title, as required by Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (1).
- 3. Clerks issued absentee ballots to electors who were required to enclose a copy
- of proof of identification or an authorized substitute document, but who failed to do
- so under Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (1).
- 4. Clerks failed to enter initials on ballot envelopes indicating whether the
- elector is exempt from providing proof of identification, as required by Wis. Stat. §
- 6.87 (2).
- 5. Clerks in Milwaukee and Dane Counties declared electors in their counties
- to be “indefinitely confined” under Wis. Stat. § 6.86 (2), causing chaos and confusion,
- and failed to keep current the mailing list established under that subsection; more
- than 215,000 electors thus avoided identification requirements and safeguards that
- the legislature has established.
- 6. Clerks and the boards of canvassers permitted absentee ballots returned
- without the required witness address under Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (2) to be counted in
- contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (6d).
- 7. Clerks who received absentee ballots with improperly completed certificates
- or no certificates filled in missing information in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87
- (9).
- 8. The Wisconsin Elections Commission, in contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.875,
- barred special voting deputies from entering qualified nursing homes and assisted
- living facilities, instead mailing ballots to residents directly, thereby avoiding
- safeguards the legislature put in place to protect our most vulnerable citizens and
- loved ones.
- 9. The clerk of the City of Madison ignored Wis. Stat. § 6.855 and created an
- event named “Democracy in the Park” and, of her own accord, designated alternate
- sites where absentee ballots could be collected; these ballots were counted in
- contravention of Wis. Stat. § 6.87 (6); and
- Whereas, without legitimacy, the government of the people, by the people, and
- for the people shall not stand. Instead, our government will devolve into a system
- of coercion and bribery that seeks to use the guise of elections to hold a degree of
- credibility; and
- Whereas, the people of Wisconsin are demanding that the legislature address
- questions of legitimacy; now, therefore, be it
- Resolved by the assembly, That: the Wisconsin State Assembly recognizes
- that the most important function for a government is to conduct fair and honest
- elections that follow the duly enacted law; and, be it further
- Resolved, That when there are significant portions of the population that
- question the integrity of the elections due to the failure of election officials to follow
- the letter of the law, it is incumbent upon the legislature to address the issues that
- are in question; and, be it further
- Resolved, That the members of the Wisconsin State Assembly place the
- redress to these and other election law violations and failed administrative
- procedures as its highest priority and shall take up legislation crafted to ensure civil
- officers follow the laws as written.
