MADISON — A national election integrity watchdog announced Thursday it was filing a formal complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission on behalf of five Green Bay residents. The complainants allege city officials allowed “private activist groups to control significant aspects of the 2020 election, including ballot ‘curing’ and vote counting.”

“Hundreds of millions of dollars purchased local election offices in 2020 to benefit one political candidate, paying salaries of election officials and literally dictating the manner in which the election should be managed,” Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project said in a press release. “Evidence in Green Bay proves this shadow government ran the election and now it is time those involved come clean.”

The Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life handed out more than $8 million in “election safety and security” grants to Wisconsin’s five largest and most heavily Democratic cities — Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha and Racine. CTCL received $350 million from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife to “help” local elections offices administer “safe and secure elections.”
