Election Officials in Wisconsin’s Largest County accused Observers for Trump, on Saturday Nov. 21st, of seeking to Obstruct a Recount of the Presidential Results, in some instances by Objecting to every Ballot Tabulators pulled to Count.
Trump requested and Paid for the Recount in Milwaukee and Dane Counties, both Heavily Liberal, in hopes of undoing Democrat Joe Biden’s Victory by about 20,600 Votes. With No Precedent for a Recount reversing such a Large Margin, Trump’s Strategy is widely seen as aimed at an eventual Court Challenge.
A steady stream of Republican Complaints in Milwaukee was putting the Recount far behind Schedule, County Clerk, George Christenson said. Many Trump Observers were Breaking the Rules by constantly Interrupting Vote Counters with Questions and Ccomments. “That’s unacceptable,” he said. He said some of the Trump Observers “clearly don’t know what they are doing.”
Tim Posnanski, a County Election Commissioner, told his Fellow Commissioners there appeared to be Two Trump Representatives at some Tables where Tabulators were Counting Ballots, Violating Rules that call for One Observer from each Campaign per Table. Posnanski said some Trump Representatives seemed to be posing as Independents.
At One Recount Table, a Trump Observer objected to Every Ballot that Tabulators Pulled from a Bag simply because they were Folded, Election Officials told the Panel.
Posnanski called it “prima facie evidence of bad faith by the Trump campaign.” He added later: “I want to know what is going on and why there continues to be obstruction.”
At least One Trump Observer was Escorted Out of the Building by Sheriff’s Deputies Saturday after Pushing an Election Official who had lifted her Coat from an Observer Chair. Another Trump Observer was Removed Friday for Not Wearing a Face Mask properly as Required.
Trump paid $3 Million, as Required by State Law, for the Partial Recount that began Friday and must conclude by Dec. 1st.
His Team is seeking to Disqualify Ballots where Election Clerks filled in Missing Address Information on the Certification Envelope where the Ballot is Inserted, even though the Practice has long been Accepted in Wisconsin.
The Campaign also Alleges Thousands of Absentee Ballots don’t have Proper Written Paperwork, and that some Absentee Voters improperly Declared themselves “indefinitely confined,” a Status that Allows them to Receive a Ballot without Photo ID. Those Challenges were being Rejected.
