MADISON – Assembly Republicans are skeptical of the state’s election administrators, but some of them are putting stock in a felon convicted of fraud who claims without evidence that a "sect" of Milwaukee officials illegally printed ballots for Joe Biden in 2020.

Peter Bernegger — the ex-convict who is making far-fetched claims about Milwaukee election officials — appeared for two hours Wednesday before the Assembly Elections Committee at the invitation of Republicans who are pouring $676,000 in taxpayer funds into a partisan review of the 2020 election.

Bernegger’s claims are absurd, said Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission and a target of some of his complaints. In an open records lawsuit Bernegger filed in December, he claimed Woodall-Vogg was part of the so-called sect that he alleged "planned, conspired and implemented a massive election fraud" by using fake names and fake addresses to cast ballots.

A judge is scheduled to hear a motion to dismiss the case in March.

Bernegger alleged the group allowed an unnamed man from Illinois to upload and download material from a city computer and printed ballots for Biden in a back conference room. He contended the city had entered into a "secret agreement" with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and his filing included a hand-drawn floor plan of an election office with a spot labeled “Hidden Room. Someone was sleeping? Snoring?”

These people are fucking insane. We need to have laws pertaining to election lies by authorities.
