How did Wisconsin REALLY vote on June 5th?
Exit polls reported by major news outlets at 8pm put the race at a
50-50 dead heat. However less than an hour later, with only 25% of precincts reporting, those same outlets called the race for Walker. This early prediction was later matched by the official count which settled at 53% for Walker and 46% for Barrett.
But was that how Wisconsinites really voted? As recent history such as
Ohio in 2004 shows, huge disparities between exit polls and official totals can point to systemic fraud in the
tamper-prone machines that count our ballots.
These concerns were amplified when citizen-observers monitoring the Racine Senate recount decided to also double check the gubernatorial race. The results were extremely disturbing- in the Racine precincts where observers were stationed, statistically significant differences were found between the recounted totals and the official election-night totals. Even more troubling, in EVERY case these disparities benefited Walker over Barrett, drastically decreasing the likelihood they could've be caused by random error.

A grassroots coalition, which includes the Wisconsin Wave, has recently formed to verify the accuracy and integrity of the election results. Called “Hand Count Votes Now!,’’ we've gotten the ball rolling by filing open records requests to access the ballots in all 72 Wisconsin counties, and teams have already been
sent out to perform hand counts.
However time is of the essence, and
your support is needed right now!
Some counties are threatening to destroy their ballots within the next two weeks unless onerous and arbitrary fees are paid to satisfy the open records request. This means we must raise thousands of dollars in a short amount of the time to complete this vital project. It also means we must move quickly to count as many ballots as we can.
