Wisconsin And The Trump Voter Corruption Scheme
- How Donald Trump and the Supreme Court are tipping the scales in the dairy state.
What does Donald Trump, the US Supreme Court, and the Wisconsin GOP all have in common? They’re all working in cahoots to put in the fix for a Trump victory in November.

While the entire world remained shut down and shut into their homes due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, voters in Wisconsin were forced on Tuesday to don masks and gloves and stand in 2+ hour lines just to exercise their democratic right to vote. That’s because the Supreme Court stepped in at the 11th hour, reversed a lower court ruling, and nixed the idea to extend the deadline for Wisconsin voters to mail-in absentee ballots that were sent to them late because of challenges associated with the coronavirus.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, the Supreme Court decided by a 5 to 4 margin to conduct one of the most brazen acts of voter suppression in modern history. They opted to nullify the votes of citizens who didn’t receive ballots until after Election Day due to the coronavirus pandemic and were left with no choice but to submit their ballots late.
Or, in other words, tens of thousands of voters in the dairy state will have their ballots thrown into the trash — all because COVID-19 prevented the state from getting ballots to them before the deadline.
On Tuesday, Wisconsin’s voters were left with an impossible choice: defy state orders to stay home and risk their health just to cast an in-person ballot, or lose their ability to be counted by either not voting at all or by having their meaningless absentee ballots trashed by order of the US Supreme Court.
So, why did the US Supreme Court involve itself in a state primary election between Democratic rivals Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders? It’s because a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race was also on the ballot.
Donald Trump and his conservative justices on the bench wanted to protect a state Supreme Court seat by essentially guaranteeing a depressed voter turnout on the Democratic side. Their mission was to assure that Republican candidate Daniel Kelly would be victorious just in time for Election 2020.
Yes, the fix is in.
Donald Trump is setting a precedent to disqualify mail-in votes in November by launching a campaign against them now.
During his Tuesday coronavirus press briefing, Trump argued that voting by mail in order to adhere to state stay-at-home directives was not only a very bad thing but deeply corrupt.
“No, mail ballots, they cheat,” Trump alleged. “OK, people cheat. Mail ballots are a very dangerous thing for this country because they are cheaters.”
When a reporter pointed out that Trump himself voted absentee in last month’s Florida primary, he quickly created the excuse that traveling to Florida to vote in-person would have been an “inconvenience.”
“I happened to be in the White House and I won’t be able to go to Florida and vote,” Trump insisted, effectively saying absentee voting is OK for him but not for others.

Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn’t work out well for Republicans. @foxandfriends

So, here’s the deal. Donald Trump is laying the groundwork now to challenge the outcome of the November General Election by introducing his own theory that absentee ballots are rife with corruption. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the fall and states proceed with plans to conduct mail-in voting in place of in-person voting, Trump will challenge the election results if he loses then use the precedent his Supreme Court cronies already set in Wisconsin to throw those “cheating” absentee (read: Democratic) ballots out.
Additionally, Trump already recognizes that the 2020 election will very likely be decided in the all-important Midwestern states of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. By having his preferred state Supreme Court justice in place to assist with any legal challenge, he’s primed to contest results in the dairy state in order to possibly steal the election.
Stay woke, people!
‘About 100 million people couldn’t be bothered to vote this year’ (2016)
Roughly 43 percent of eligible voters didn’t bother filling out a ballot this year, according to turnout estimates from the U.S. Elections Project. To look at it another way, the people who could have voted but chose not to vastly outnumbered those who cast a vote for Clinton, Trump or a third-party candidate. […] Washington Post, Nov. 16, 2016
