My column for the Washington County Daily News is online and in print. Here’s a part:
The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau released its 168-page audit of Wisconsin’s handling of the November 2020 election. The findings are deeply concerning for anybody who cares about whether or not our government still operates with the consent of the governed.
The entire purpose of holding elections is for the governed to choose who should do the governing. For this purpose, we go through a rigorous process to establish laws to ensure that every person who is eligible to vote can do so, and that we will only count one vote for each eligible voter.
What the LAB audit found was that under the cover of COVID, the state’s Wisconsin Elections Commission and local election clerks flagrantly ignored multiple laws designed to ensure free and fair elections. Further, several of those clerks refused to cooperate with the LAB’s investigation. The end result is that the audit’s findings are incomplete, and we will never have a full accounting of what went on during the November 2020 election.
And no liberal will consider it a problem as long as they win again. Until true non-partisans are in charge of elections we won’t have fair elections, merely defended or ignored arguments by the victors. And since public schools have quit teaching free thought we don’t have many younger non-partisans or people capable of acting objectively, nor do we have many politicians willing to give those few the jobs.
It’s one thing to say that State elections have problems.
But you also have to consider other sources as well.Twitter, Facebook and other social media have to be reigned in. Along with local media, such as JSONLONE have decided that they will not be fair as well.
I don’t know if Senile Joe got the most votes in 2020 but it it is very obvious that most media and social media decided that they would take the liberal side.
“The entire purpose of holding elections is for the governed to choose who should do the governing.“
And yet, governing officials, through partisan gerrymandering, choose who the governed is who gets to vote for them.

I’m sure Pat, you mean both Democrats and Republicans
This is unrelated, but I am curious what do you think about Steven Donziger

Maxwell, considering that 4 democrat judges ruled against him, a liberal former lawyer who has been disbarred in liberal New York, I don’t have much sympathy for him.
