Man Continues His Fight for Milwaukee’s 2020 Election Records

A legal battle has been quietly unfolding in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court over a citizen’s request to examine Milwaukee’s voting records from the 2020 presidential election.

In the months following that poll, Peter Bernegger filed four major requests under the Wisconsin Open Records Law to obtain, examine, and copy information—such as absentee ballot applications, envelopes for them, and voter registration applications relevant to, or used in, the conduct of the 2020 election in the state.

Bernegger told The Epoch Times he has reason to believe there were serious violations of Wisconsin and federal law, based on eyewitness accounts of four whistleblowers and several sworn affidavits from election observers assigned to Milwaukee’s central counting facility on Nov. 3, 2020.

He said the data he is seeking through his Open Records requests may contain additional evidence corroborating his allegations of misconduct on the part of election officials.

“It’s clear from what we know already that Milwaukee Election Commission officials partnered with out-of-state non-profits, operating under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, in creating a sophisticated and well-executed ‘Get Out the Vote’ operation for the Democrats,” alleged Bernegger.

Bernegger said that data showing who requested an absentee ballot application, who turned it in for an absentee ballot, and who returned a voted ballot is valuable information in the hands of partisan operatives called “navigators”—workers who go out and try to boost the vote in politically targeted areas.

Municipal officials and their election departments are supposed to be completely non-partisan and maintain the strictest neutrality in the administration of elections.

To date, Bernegger said he has received very little of the data he asked for.
