A U.S. senator from Wisconsin joined conservative educational platform Foundations of Freedom (FOF) to discuss his re-election campaign and a lawsuit filed against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC).
“It makes no sense to me why the Left is trying to fundamentally destroy this country, but they are,” Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said. “Quite honestly, I’m more tired of the anger and the division.”
“You know how radical the Left is,” he added.
Johnson said that the political left is indoctrinating children in public schools, and that those schools are teaching children to hate America. He also noted that his campaign is laser-focused on inflation and the economy, along with spiking crime, open borders, and the free flow of drugs through those open borders.
FOF’s Dave Dias then steered the conversation towards a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission, filed by a man called Scott Sidney. The WEC and its administrators are listed as defendants.
Barry Farah spoke on behalf of the plaintiffs in the suit.
He said there are only 4.6 million adults in Wisconsin, but that there are 633,000 dead people on the voters on the rolls and 3.1 million other voters on the rolls that have either moved out of the state or do not have the right to vote.
That lawsuit echoes the claim that millions of ineligible voters are on the rolls.
“Defendants Wisconsin Elections Commission (‘WEC’) and its Administrator Meagan Wolfe are violating Wisconsin law, and an immediate injunction needs to be issued to preserve the integrity of the November 2022 election, as WEC is adding
names to the ‘registration list’ after the close of registration which occurred on October 19, 2022,” according to the lawsuit. “As such, Plaintiff requests that this Court enter an Order ‘freezing’ the ‘registration list’ and preventing WEC from allowing any further names to the list from the date of the Order until 10 days after the November 2022 Election.
“Hopefully the lawsuit will prevail,” Johnson said of the lawsuit. “We don’t have much time.”
But he noted that he has a “robust” election integrity staff, including 5,000 paid poll watchers.
“We’ve got eyeballs on the process. We’re aware of the problem with the registration lists. There’s really nothing we can do but monitor it,” he said, adding that his campaign team has the lists of ineligible and dead voters for comparison purposes.
He also said that the state will have to purge the rolls of the ineligible voters, but that the election commission is “built for gridlock” and that final decisions tend to rest in the hands of Democrats.
