An elector in Madison, Wisconsin filed a complaint on Thursday against Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl,
accusing them of election bribery after making a deal with Center for
Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) which constituted prohibited election bribery
under Wisconsin statutes.
In the agreement, the Respondents and their City agreed to take
Center for Tech and Civic Life’s money to facilitate in-person and
absentee voting within their city,” according to the complaint.
“Any agreement where the City’s election officials receive Center for
Tech and Civic Life’s or other’s private money to facilitate in-person
and absentee voting within the city violates Wisconsin Statutes 12.11’s
prohibition on election bribery,” the complaint stated.
Attorney Erick Kaardal of Thomas More Society said, “The evidence in this complaint is overwhelming and condemning.”
“Even on the surface, given all benefit of doubt, there is no question
that Mayor Rhodes-Conway and Clerk Witzel-Behl accepted private money
from the Center for Tech and Civic Life to facilitate in-person and
absentee voting in Madison. This is in violation of Wisconsin election law,” he added.
