(Jonathan Davis) Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said in a Wednesday news release he has filed criminal referrals against five election commissioners after an investigation found they may have violated state balloting laws during the 2020 election cycle.

The referrals to Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson, a Republican, were for five of the commission’s six members and accuses them of election fraud.
Conservative Brief reported last week:
The Racine County sheriff in Wisconsin has accused the Wisconsin Elections Commission of breaking the law by telling local elections officials not to send poll workers into nursing homes to assist residents with voting last November.
During a press conference on Thursday, Sheriff Christopher Schmaling called on the Wisconsin Department of Justice to launch a statewide investigation.
An “election statute was in fact not just broken, but shattered by members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission,” said the sheriff said during a press conference, where he and Sgt. Michael Luell laid out details of their findings of an investigation into Ridgewood Care Facility.
Initially, Schmaling presented his findings to state Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, and asked him to launch an investigation of his own, but Kaul has declined to do so, which then led Schmaling to refer the matter locally instead.
According to a statement posted to the department’s Facebook page:
Based upon the failure of Attorney General Josh Kaul to initiate a statewide investigation, I have forwarded charging recommendations to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office for their review. The recommended charges are for Commissioners Margaret Bostelmann, Julie Glancey, Ann Jacobs, Dean Knudson, and Mark Thomsen.
The recommended charges are the same for each commissioner, and include:
• Misconduct in Public Office in violation of Wis. Stat. § 946.12(2) (Felony)
• Election Fraud – Election Official Assisting with Violations in violation of Wis. Stat. § 12.13(2)(b)7 (Felony)
• Party to the Crime of Election Fraud – Receive Ballot Non-Election Official in violation of Wis. Stat. § 12.13(3)(n) (Misdemeanor)
• Party to the Crime of Election Fraud – Illegal Ballot Receipt in violation of Wis. Stat. § 12.13(3)(p) (Misdemeanor)
• Party to the Crime of Election Fraud – Solicit Assistance in violation of Wis. Stat. § 12.13(3)(s) (Misdemeanor)
The reasons for the recommended charges were clearly explained during the October 28, 2021, news conference and in the supporting documentation.
“In the directives, the Wisconsin Election Commission ordered the voting clerks in every municipality in the state to “not use the Special Voting Deputy ‘process’” as required by Wis. Stat. § 6.875,” the post continued.
He has recommended that Margaret Bostelmann, Julie Glancey, Ann Jacobs, Dean Knudson and Mark Thomsen, be charged with felony misconduct in public office, felony election fraud, and three counts of misdemeanor election fraud.
“Racine law enforcement looked at 2020 visitor logs and found that other visitors were let into the nursing home throughout the pandemic, about 900 times between the decision in March not to use special voting deputies and November 2020. Those visitors included someone to clean the fish tanks and birdcages and even DoorDash delivery people,” The Federalist reported last week.
“Those people were allowed into the Ridgewood Care Facility, but heaven forbid we make an exception for special voting deputies,” Luell said.
Under Wisconsin state statute 12.13, breaking laws regarding special voting deputies constitutes “election fraud,” which is a felony.
“We’re just one of 72 counties, Racine County,” Schmaling noted. “Ridgeland is one of 11 facilities within our county. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of these facilities throughout the entire state of Wisconsin. We would be foolish, we would be foolish to think for a moment that this integrity issue, this violation of the statute, occurred to just this small group of people at one care facility in one county in the entire state. I would submit to you that this needs the attorney general’s investigation,” the sheriff noted.
For their part, commissioners are pushing back.
“To put it simply, we did not break the law,” Commission Chair Ann Jacobs noted in a statement last week, according to the Wisconsin Examiner. “In fact, without action from the Commission, many residents in Wisconsin care facilities could have and would have been disenfranchised and not able to vote in the 2020 elections.”
