‘Unconscionable Result’: Former WI City Clerk Under Fire In Ballot Debacle

Federalist-

It seems Madison Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl was more interested in going on vacation than finding out why nearly 200 ballots went uncounted.

Satya Rhodes-Conway, Madison’s far-left mayor, has long wagged her finger at the most basic election integrity efforts. Voter ID, to Madison leftists like the mayor, is “voter suppression.” 

In 2022, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against the expansive use of ballot drop boxes, Rhodes-Conway called efforts to check their use an act of
“racist voter suppression” and an “attack on voting.”

But Wisconsin’s capital city, which loves to applaud itself for its “inclusivity,”  is dealing with quite the black eye after its city clerk’s office disenfranchised nearly 200 voters. 

A damning report by the Wisconsin Elections Commission finds Madison’s top election official oversaw a “confluence of errors” leading to an “unconscionable result” in her office’s failure to count 193 absentee ballots in November’s election. As The Federalist reported, it appears longtime City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl was more interested in going on vacation than righting a series of wrongs in a system that lost track of ballots and cost Madison voters a vital right.  more
