In what remains a nail-bitingly close presidential race, fewer than 25,000 votes could decide Wisconsin and its 10 Electoral College votes. Donald Trump won the Badger State in 2016 by 22,748 ballots. In 2020, he lost it by 20,982 votes.
Given these low numbers and high stakes, this week’s findings by CommonSense Elections/StopBogusBallots.com are deeply worrisome.
The vote-security watchdog group that I recently helped launch uses high-level fractal computing to reconcile current voter rolls with other government databases. These typically include property-tax records, post office change-of-address forms, Department of Motor Vehicles files, and the like.
CommonSenseElections/StopBogusBallots.com’s recent analysis discovered mail-in ballot requests from—among others—the following active “voters.” They are registered at suspicious addresses in Wisconsin within these categories of doubt:
- 2,777: Permanently moved out of state
- 1,158: Moved to new Wisconsin counties but still are registered in old counties
- 275: Moved away but left no forwarding addresses
- 2,325: Undeliverable addresses, not found in U.S. Postal Service database
- 442: Nonresidential business locations
- 7,571: Missing or wrong apartment numbers (where stray ballots stack up in lobbies)
- 3,408: Duplicate registrations
- 1,251: Residents have received no mail for at least 90 days
- 10,877: Components of these addresses do not match the Postal Servicd database
These anomalies alone (and there are others) affect 30,084 mail-in ballot requests associated with unqualified, possibly illegal addresses in Wisconsin.
This number will rise, as more mail-in ballots somehow get completed and returned to election administrators’ offices, in numbers that already exceed Trump’s 2016 and Joe Biden’s 2020 margins of victory.
Here is the key question: If these supposed “voters” have vacated Wisconsin, are duplicates, or “live at” nonresidential addresses, then who is requesting these mail-in ballots?
“These registrants are at addresses that another official government database, other than the voter roll, says cannot receive ballots,” says election-security expert Jay Valentine, a cofounder of CSE/SBB.com.
“These mail-in ballots are addressed to people who are gone,” Valentine explained. “They are undeliverable or dupes. When ballots cannot be delivered, they pile up in apartment-building mail rooms and lobbies or on the ground, where ballot harvesters collect them. These mail-in ballots also languish with junk mail at former residences or get returned to the post office. From there, they too often wind up in the hands of ballot crooks who vote them and submit them to be counted.”
Is this the black magic of left-wing nongovernmental organizations, drop-box hucksters, and other shady activists?
If there is an innocent explanation for this hanky-panky, let’s hear it!
Next: CSE/SBB will scrutinize Pennsylvania’s voter rolls. We expect equally disturbing results.
We will expose any skulduggery that we uncover, stir public outrage, and challenge such chicanery in the swing states: When mail-in ballots arrive from illegitimate—even illegal—addresses, we will try persuasion to convince election officials not to tabulate these bogus ballots. Failing that: Litigation remains an option.
