When Gavery inquired whether the commission would investigate potential voter fraud, he received a brisk response: “Meeting adjourned.”

Americans must be vigilant.

Yes, dishonest voter suppression is always far-reaching, and Americans must be vigilant. The stakes are high in Wisconsin, where Republicans hope to gerrymander the Democrats out of power--even nullifying presidential votes through chicanery. The incumbent is being challenged by a very extreme Republican, and Elon Musk is pouring millions into getting him elected.

Sadly, "voter fraud" is frequently based on "fraudulent charges of voter fraud." In Georgia, they tried to invalidate 65,000 votes, including thousands by overseas military families, in a fit of anger that their candidate lost. Wanting a different outcome is fine--cheating to obtain it isn't.

Um... isn't this the state election where Elon Musk is offering lucky individuals a chance at a million dollars for registering to vote and that is now suing Musk for that?

It does seem that Milwaukee is an outlier. In 2024, the top city in all the USA was Milwaukee for Presidential votes. It had 85% voter turnout versus the average top 50 city of just 68%. Meanwhile when Milwaukee votes for mayor, their turnout is 29% while the national average for the top 50 cities is 37%. So it does seem like there are possibly some fishy things going on.

Registrations…how many illegal votes have been cast?
Yes voter registrations are not illegal votes. But not only that, how many of these are actual fraud? Here are the categories of the discrepancies:

1 Commercial Addresses, typically UPS or Fedex stores: 24
2 Secondary Address missing or incorrect, i.e. wrong APT number 2,926
(lacks proper legal chain of custody, reg. with an incorrect or incomplete address, see 6.33 et al)
3 N or Blank 540 (registrant no longer at that address)
4 Registered to a US Post Office physical address 11
5 Moved before 10-24-2024, left no forwarding address 217
6 Moved before 10-24-2024 signed a permanent NCOA out of state 377
7 Moved before 10-24-2024 signed a permanent NCOA out of the county
to a new county within Wisconsin 281
8 Physical address now a P.O Box 501 (originally used a real physical address, but now
primary address is a PO Box)

They can petition this for another look see, but I don't know, it seems more errors in filling out the registration and people just moving.

Perhaps when Wisconsin Republicans say 'We're going to overturn elections no matter how people vote' urbanites there become very motivated to get them out of government at all costs.

That was the 2024 mayoral race with an incumbent seeking reelection. Both candidates were Democrats. The prior regular Milwaukee (2020) mayoral election had about 10% more voters in the grip of the early pandemic.

Americans must be vigilant.

I generally do not believe voter fraud stories, as I consider US elections to be secure and accurate. However, the story you mentioned is intriguing and may have some validity.

After the November election, I heard concerns from Wisconsin Democrats about voter fraud. They argued that President Trump could not have won there, believing Harris should have led by 10 percentage points. Initially, I dismissed these claims as typical reactions from those who lost, but this article suggests there may be validity to them. If voter fraud exists, it must be uncovered.

I heard similar claims from Michigan Democrats, especially from Dearborn. They argue that 40% of Arab Americans could not have voted for President Trump. An investigation into voter fraud in Michigan, particularly in Dearborn, may be warranted.

In PA, many Haitian Democrats also complained about voter fraud after the election. While I don't believe there is voter fraud in America, your article and findings cannot be ignored. We might need a more in-depth investigation in PA for voter fraud.

I am not sure. Do you think there is illegal voter registration in Georgia? This could explain why after President Biden won Georgia in 2020, the results were different in 2024 and the Democrats lost. We seriously need to investigate these issues, not only to uncover potential fraud but also to assure Americans that American elections are secure.

As you will notice there are a lot of claims made on tic tock, media outlets, etc. But those confident or deluded enough to bring claims of mass voter fraud to the courts and have to make their case, they can't.

As I have stated, I do not believe voter fraud in America can alter statewide election results. However, all claims of voter fraud should be investigated.

Many Democrats in Wisconsin or Michigan do not believe President Trump won the election. I think they are wrong, but seeing articles or threads like this, we must at least consider the possibility of voter fraud and President Trump's victory.

Yes. If there is suspected voter fraud, both sides' claims must be exhaustively investigated.
Personally, I doubt that Palestinian Americans in Michigan would have voted for Trump instead of Biden because he didn't do enough to stop Netanyahu's atrocities. Palestinian Americans would have realized Trump might have designs to make Gaza the Mediterranean Riviera East. They might have left their Presidential choice blank or voted for the Green Party, but not for Trump.

If we are worried about voter fraud and election interference in Wisconsin, we need to be investigating the $20 million Musk has spent there--not only to elect a Trump sympathizer, but to influence the settlement on his own case pending there! Now that's where the crime is. Isn't bribery a crime in Wisconsin?

First there is cheating in campaign fund raising, often by third parties, then there are ethical violations, but in the actual voting, the errors are not so glaring. Worse than voter fraud are people who have their ballots disqualified for good cause. From not filling out an absentee ballot, to voting for more than one person, or other measures that
That was the 2024 mayoral race with an incumbent seeking reelection. Both candidates were Democrats. The prior regular Milwaukee (2020) mayoral election had about 10% more voters in the grip of the early pandemic.
Thanks for the info., that explains why the mayor's race had an underwhelming voter turnout. However, the high turnout in the Presidential election for Milwaukee remains a potential outlier. In thinking though it could be very logical. Wisconsin is somewhat of a swing state, so that could drive more to want to vote along with greater ads and heavier campaigning. Secondly, I see that Wisconsin is one of the few states that allows same day registration. This too enhances voter turnout.

Yes, all claims taken to state AGs or (state) Secretary of states or filed in courts should be investigated etc. But people huffing and puffing on news networks or social media as far as I am concerned, no. It is simply not enough to investigate claims of voter fraud simply because people think Arabs in Dearborn wouldn't vote against their best interests come Gaza. They did thinking those two birds in the bush was better than the one they had in their hand.

For all those who think the Michigan Islamic community couldn't vote for Trump, they did. They called Biden Genocide Joe. They are realizing that may have been against their best interests. Actually they didn't all vote for Trump but they voted against Biden. Same result. Mess around and find out. I'll be swinging past the local Islamic food store tomorrow to load up on some goodies.
