Wisconsin Elections Commission Sparks Uproar After Banning ALL Municipal Clerks from Checking If Voters are U.S. Citizens – Ruling Comes Days Before Critical Gubernatorial Election

The steal is apparently underway in Wisconsin as Badger State voters are about to decide who their next governor will be.

As the Wisconsin State Journal reported, the Wisconsin Elections Commission ruled Friday that the state’s 1,800 municipal clerks are barred from using President Donald Trump’s federal voter database intended to flag noncitizen voters.

The commission, which is made up of both Republicans and Democrats, claimed that using Trump’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database would be “impossible” because state law bars clerks from sharing voters’ personal information.

Moreover, members of the commission say that Wisconsin’s law overrides the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this month, which allowed the Trump administration to create the database.

This ruling comes 18 days before Wisconsin voters decide whether they want to elect Republican Tom Tiffany or leftist Democrat David Crowley. The latest polls show Crowley with a small lead.

Americans were not buying the Commission’s reasoning and cried fraud.

Wisconsin Democrat’s ‘Number One Priority’ As Secretary Of State: Driver’s Licenses For Illegal Immigrants

JoCasta Zamarripa, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin secretary of state, told WMTV that her top priority if elected is getting driver’s licenses for people in the country illegally – and she wants David Crowley to be the governor who signs them into law.

Asked whether Crowley, the Democratic nominee for governor and Milwaukee County executive, had signed on, Zamarripa acknowledged the two haven’t discussed it yet. “We’re going to talk soon,” she said, adding that she feels “confident” he’ll back it because “as a legislator he was supportive.”

Years of Bills, None Passed

Zamarripa, a Milwaukee alder and five-term former Assembly member, has pushed “driver card” bills for undocumented immigrants for years, and none became law. One version she sponsored would have issued licenses that couldn’t be used to board a plane or enter a federal building; she pitched it then as economic development: “Latinos are great consumers.” An earlier version specified the card would not be valid for voting.

Her case now is public safety:

“Driver’s licenses for undocumented Wisconsinites is going to improve the public safety of all Wisconsinites, whether they’re fifth generation U.S. citizens or brand-new, newly arrived immigrants, because it’s going to mean more folks with a driver’s license driving on our roads, more folks accessing affordable automobile insurance.”

An Office With No Say

Wisconsin has barred undocumented immigrants from getting licenses since a law took effect in 2007. Gov. Tony Evers put licenses for all in his budget proposals, and Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee stripped them out.

The job Zamarripa is running for wouldn’t change that. Wisconsin’s secretary of state doesn’t issue driver’s licenses or run elections – the Department of Transportation and the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission do – and the office mainly keeps official records and the Great Seal. Zamarripa concedes as much: “I’ll no longer be that legislator with the vote in that way, but I believe I can use the office as a platform.”

Her pick for governor has been blunt on immigration. “When it comes to immigration, I’m not an ally; I’m an accomplice,” Crowley has said on the campaign trail. He has said he doesn’t see “any scenario” in which local law enforcement would want to partner with ICE, and Republican Tom Tiffany has built an ad around the line, cutting it between crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Wisconsin.

The Fond du Lac Case

The interview landed the same week Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney charged Elmer Jose Cardona Bustillo, a Honduran man prosecutors say is in the country illegally, with knowingly operating a vehicle while suspended, causing great bodily harm. Immigration records show he was ordered removed by an immigration judge in November 2015, Toney said.

According to the complaint, the pickup Cardona Bustillo was driving struck a 50-year-old woman with Down syndrome in a crosswalk shortly before 5:45 a.m. on Oct. 9, and he acknowledged knowing he wasn’t allowed to drive. He told officers he didn’t see her; the complaint notes it was dark and she was wearing dark clothing. She was airlifted to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, where Toney said she is “fighting for her life.” Cardona Bustillo is presumed innocent; a preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 23.

‘Out of their ever-loving minds?’: Judge rules on leftist demand to be allowed to cast 2 ballots in midterms

A judge in Wisconsin has rejected a demand by the leftists in the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin to be allowed to vote by mail, and then vote again by appearing and voting on Election Day.

A commentary at RedState ripped into the people who demanded the court give them that very permission.

“Now, we have Democrats pushing to flood our system with as many hard-to-track mail-in ballots as possible, seeking to do away with voter IDs, advocating for non-citizens to potentially vote in elections, hiding their dirty voter rolls, and then claiming it’s perfectly normal for people to cast a mail-in ballot and show up to ‘vote’ again on Election Day. Are these people out of their ever-loving minds? Let me spare you the suspense: Yes, yes they are.”

A report at WisPolitics revealed the LWV had sued the Wisconsin Elections Commission demanding the court block enforcement of state rules that say “an elector who mails or personally delivers an absentee ballot to the municipal clerk is not permitted to vote in person at the same election on Election Day.”

The League wanted voters who mailed their ballots to be allowed to vote on Election Day … just in case the mail service didn’t deliver their ballots on time.

The judge in Dane County refused to suspend election rules for that.

Rep. Calvin Callahan, a Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly, had intervened in the case in opposition to the double-voting plan.

“I got into this case to defend the law the Legislature wrote,” Callahan said. “If you mail your absentee ballot back to your clerk, you do not get another vote at the polls. The League of Women Voters asked a Dane County judge to suspend guidance that simply reiterated that law weeks before a statewide election. The court said no. One person, one ballot. That is a foundation of our election system, and it should not be rewritten in the middle of an election through a court action.”

The League had insisted the judge give them a temporary injunction allowing their plan to move forward. The fight still remains in the court, but the injunction demand was rejected, meaning double-voting likely is not being allowed in this election.

Wisconsin Woman Pretended to be School Teacher So She Could Hurl Racial Slurs at Children, Call Kids Fat, Segregate Students by Race

A Wisconsin woman pretended to be a school teacher so she could abuse white children and segregate the students by race.

Amy Jones, 23, posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on September 24.

Jones told investigators she was “bored,” so she went to the high school and told staff that she was a substitute teacher.

Staff at Rufus King High School allowed Jones to substitute teach for the day after eight other teachers called in sick.

Jones admitted to having the ‘birds and the bees” talk with the students in the classroom.

According to the students, Jones screamed at them and abused the white boys in the class. She used “profane language and racial slurs.’

Jones allegedly told the white students that they looked like the type to start school shootings.

The imposter teacher also told the young girls that they looked like hookers.

Jones was arrested and charged with six felony counts and is facing up to 20 years in prison.

WISN reported:

According to Milwaukee County prosecutors, Jones, a former student at the school, entered the building on Sept. 24, told office staff she was a substitute teacher, and was placed in a classroom for the first three periods.

Students reported to a school resource officer that Jones was “using profane language, racial slurs, sexually derogative statements and organizing students by race and gender in class.”

A 16-year-old boy told police, “The teacher was cursing and screaming at the students and that she called a student ‘fat boy,’ asked a student if she wanted to be a stripper or a hooker,” and told two white boys in the class “they were the type of people to start school shootings.”

Students also told police that Jones asked them if they were gay or virgins. At least one student recorded her behavior and shared the video with police.

The school principal told police that eight teachers had called in sick that day, and only seven of those positions were filled. She said she believed Jones “got lucky because there happened to be an unfilled position.”

The principal became aware of the situation during the third period and had Jones escorted from the building.

WI Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Claims Beer Gardens Are Systemically Racist

Milwaukee County Executive and Wisconsin Democrat gubernatorial candidate David Crowley has attacked beer gardens in the past, claiming they are systemically racist.

In a post on X from December 2021, Crowley responded to a post from Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) about how Crowley had said, “it’s important to understand that the way we fund parks is just not sustainable.”

Crowley, who defeated socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin’s Democrat gubernatorial primary, has repeatedly increased taxes while serving as Milwaukee County Executive.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, while Crowley “takes credit for ‘the largest property tax cut’ in the county’s history,” that property tax cut “occurred after Act 12, a bipartisan state law, allowed local leaders to raise Milwaukee city and county sales taxes”:

The Democrat nominee in the Nov. 3 election for governor takes credit for “the largest property tax cut” in the county’s history.

That occurred after Act 12, a bipartisan state law, allowed local leaders to raise Milwaukee city and county sales taxes and provided local governments in Wisconsin more state aid.

The law was largely aimed at helping the Milwaukee governments avert financial crises.

Crowley signed the near-doubling of the county sales tax, to 0.9% from 0.5% after the Milwaukee County Board approved it.

“Past heavy reliance on revenues to keep the system going is not sustainable & doesn’t cover the need,” Crowley wrote in a post from 2021. “When a system’s operational budget is so heavily reliant on user revenues to survive — like Parks is — there is often a very real conflict between generating $$$ & racial equity.”

“Revenues often come from activities that those with discretionary funding can afford like golf, the marina, and beer gardens,” Crowley added. “These activities are traditionally and predominantly supported by white users. This racial inequity is born from a history of systemic racism & injustice.”

Crowley’s previous comments about beer gardens come as beer is considered to be a massive tradition in Wisconsin, with the state being reported to have 247 craft breweries as of 2025, according to the Brewers Association. The state was ranked 14th nationally.

According to Visit Milwaukee, the city is “known as the original Beer Capital of the World” and Milwaukee’s “legacy is rooted in hops, barrels and the ambition of 19th-century immigrants who built an industry and the city on beer.”

Crowley has also previously spoken at beer gardens and attended the opening of beer gardens.

Trump Orders Shock Voter Fraud Crackdown in Nine States, Including: WA, WI, MO, GA, CA, PA, NV, NY and CT

Cue the shrieking demons in the leftist media!

President Trump ordered a shock voter fraud crackdown on Monday in nine states, including Washington, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York, and Connecticut.

It starts on Tuesday.

Homeland Security Investigations, ICE’s investigative arm, will launch what officials are calling a ‘coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative to pursue investigative leads, conduct field interviews, and support timely prosecutorial review.’

Agents will be authorized to pursue investigative leads through mid-October — right as the midterm election season gets underway.

Today’s news comes after DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin previously stated 250,000+ noncitizens were found on voter rolls in four states.

In July, Secretary Mullin sent letters to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, New Jersey Secretary of State Dale Caldwell, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, and Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt.

Federal Appellate Court Rules In Favor Of AI Child Porn

While proponents of artificial intelligence (”AI”) paint an idyllic picture of how the groundbreaking technology is poised to eliminate the ills plaguing society, their unbridled optimism continues to be met with skepticism by their opponents. From fears over the economic repercussions of the rapid loss of jobs that advancements in AI may not be able to outpace to the technology’s applications as the framework for the apparatus of a panopticon surveillance state, concerns over the impact of AI mar the utopian vision its advocates have with an even more dystopian outlook of the future it will usher in. A look inside of the Pandora’s Box being opened by AI was glimpsed following a decision by a federal appeals court ruling in favor of protecting AI-generated child pornography.

On August 25th, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ruled thatthe First Amendment protects an individual’s right to privately possess images and videos of child sexual abuse created using AI, so long as the child sex abuse material (”CSAM”) does not depict a real child and remains in the privacy of the possessor’s home. The federal appellate court issued the unanimous ruling from a panel of three U.S. circuit judges: Judge John Z. Lee, Judge Doris L. Pryor, and Judge Joshua P. Kolar. The case came to the court in the matter of U.S. v. Anderegg, a title that now stands poised to challenge longstanding Supreme Court precedent governing how the law addresses CSAM.

The pivotal case centers on Steven Anderegg, 42, of Holmen, Wisconsin. Anderegg was arrested in May 2024 on suspicion of mass production of AI-generated CSAM. Prosecutors alleged that he used an AI image generator called Stable Diffusion to create over 13,000 images depicting child sex abuse by entering prompts into the platform, including thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors. In a press release announcing his arrest, the U.S. Department of Justice revealed Anderegg described how he created the AI CSAM through the text-to-image generative AI model in a chat with a 15-year-old boy on the social media platform Instagram. The DOJ press release chronicled how Anderegg not only described how he generated the images to the minor, but that he sent the boy several AI-generated images of minors displaying their genitals. Following their exchange, Instagram reported Anderegg’s account to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (”NCMEC”) through its CyberTipline. The NCMEC followed suit by alerting federal authorities.

On May 15th, 2024, a federal grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin returned an indictment against Anderegg, charging him with producing, distributing, and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and transferring obscene materials to a minor under the age of 16. Under those charges, Anderegg faces a maximum penalty of 70 years in prison and a mandatory minimum of five years.

Ahead of his trial originally scheduled to begin on February 18th, 2025, Anderegg’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the four counts brought against him on September 23rd, 2024. His defense counsel cited a myriad of federal cases in support of their argument that the statutes Anderegg was charged under were unconstitutional because the AI CSAM he created, possessed, and shared did not depict any actual children, thus the charges violated his rights under the First Amendment.

WOW! Slimy DSA Democrat Who Ran as “Poor Waitress” in Wisconsin Primary Was Making Bank from Soros Orgs.

DSA Candidate Rebecca Cooke won her primary this week in Wisconsin’s 3rd district, a plus-3 Republican district. Rebecca will now run against retired Navy SEAL, Representative Derrick Van Orden.

In a recent political ad, DSA candidate Cooke ends with this… “We need real working people in Washington. And that’s why I approve of this message.”

Cooke ran as a working-class waitress. But, since she’s DSA (commie), you know there’s more to this story.

In fact, FOX News recently discovered that Rebecca Cooke delayed reporting her personal financial disclosure until two days after the Democrat primary.

Cooke requested a 90-day extension from the Clerk of the House on April 24, moving her disclosure deadline from May 15 to August 13, according to the official extension request.

Wisconsin’s primary was held on August 11.

Cooke ultimately defeated former Eau Claire City Council President Emily Berge with approximately 60 percent of the vote, setting up a November rematch with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

A Flock Camera Flagged Her Car in a Homicide by Mistake. Police Pulled Her Over at Gunpoint Twice

A Wisconsin woman was stopped by police with guns drawn twice in one week after an automated license plate camera wrongly linked her car to a Milwaukee homicide. Milwaukee police say the alert should have been deleted days earlier, but a staffer never cleared it.

According to Local 12, Amber Newell was driving on I-94 in Brookfield, west of Milwaukee, on the afternoon of August 6 when a Flock camera flagged her vehicle as connected to a homicide investigation. FOX6 Milwaukee reported that video from the interstate showed multiple officers with guns drawn and a passenger sticking their hands out the window. After Brookfield officers reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department to verify the alert, MPD responded that the vehicle and its occupants were no longer of interest, and the people were let go. Newell told FOX6 the same thing had happened to her earlier that week.

The issue was not the camera reading her plate wrong. Milwaukee police said this was a personnel problem, not a Flock problem: staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system after it was no longer needed. Brookfield Police Chief Christopher Garcia has defended the stop, and Milwaukee police back him up, saying his officers acted on the information they had. Newell described the fear in plain terms. “I haven’t been asleep since this has happened,” she said. “Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is guns.” She also said her young daughter is now afraid to ride in the car.

Flock Safety operates a network of roughly 120,000 cameras across the country, and the system works by photographing plates, timestamping them, logging a location, and checking each read against police hotlists. When a plate matches, officers get an alert. That means your car’s movements can land in a searchable database whether or not you are suspected of anything, and the accuracy of any given stop depends entirely on whether the underlying list is correct and current.

The louder story this year has been deliberate abuse. Milwaukee alone has seen two officers charged: Josue Ayala, who prosecutors say searched a partner’s plate and that partner’s ex nearly 200 times, and internal affairs detective Tehrangi Chapman, who was later charged after allegedly misusing the same system he was assigned to investigate. The Institute for Justice has documented at least a couple dozen cases nationwide of officers using plate readers to track romantic interests, and a Washington Post review found at least 50 officers accused of misusing these systems. Cities are reacting. Chandler, Arizona pulled 40 Flock cameras this month after an audit turned up an anomaly it could not explain through normal police work.

What happened to Newell is different from stalking, but it comes from the same weak point: an audit trail and an accuracy check only work if a person is actually watching them. A separate running tally of reported Flock errors found drivers who were repeatedly stopped after their own plates were mistakenly added to hotlists, and one man who spent 13 days in jail after a camera capture misidentified his car. Flock has said its cameras are about 99% accurate, but at tens of billions of reads a month, even a tiny error rate becomes a steady stream of real people staring down real guns.
