Big News coming out of Wisconsin on the Election front.
WPR reported:
The Wisconsin Elections Commission says small communities don’t need the state’s permission to stop using electronic voting machines, siding with a northwestern Wisconsin town that switched to hand-counted, paper ballots last year.
The WEC decision means municipalities still must make at least one electronic voting machine available at polling places for voters with disabilities.
In a 5-1 decision, commissioners dismissed a complaint alleging the Rusk County town of Thornapple broke state law when it switched from voting tabulators to hand-counted paper ballots for April and August elections in 2024.
The town’s decision spurred two complaints with the elections commission and a federal lawsuit from the U.S Department of Justice, which is currently being appealed.
During a meeting Tuesday, commission staff said they found no probable cause to believe Thornapple broke state law by discontinuing the use of electronic voting machines.
A complaint filed by the liberal firm Law Forward on behalf of a Thornapple resident argues a Wisconsin law enacted in 1995 requires communities with less than 7,500 residents that have used electronic tabulators in the past to keep using them in future elections unless the commission permits them to switch to hand-counted, paper ballots.
This ruling was amazing since corrupt Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe who led the corrupt election certification of 2020 is still in charge. Despite numerous efforts to remove her, the RINOs running the state kept her in place.
GROK estimates that around 20-25% of the state’s population live in the cities impacted by this ruling.
To determine the percentage of Wisconsin’s population living in cities with fewer than 7,500 people, we need to consider the state’s total population and the population of its smaller cities. According to 2025 estimates, Wisconsin’s population is approximately 5.93 million.
Wisconsin has 594 cities and villages, but only those with populations of 5,000 or more are consistently detailed in available data sources like the U.S. Census Bureau’s QuickFacts. Data on cities with fewer than 5,000 people is less comprehensive, and for those under 7,500, we must rely on partial information and estimates.
The Wisconsin Demographic Services Center provides population estimates for municipalities, noting that Wisconsin has 1,852 towns, 594 cities and villages, with about two-thirds of the population living in urban areas. Towns, which are unincorporated and often rural, typically have smaller populations, and many have fewer than 7,500 residents. However, precise population figures for all cities and villages under 7,500 are not fully detailed in the provided sources.
An estimate can be derived by considering that 73% of Wisconsin’s employment is concentrated in 12 cities with populations of 50,000 or more, suggesting a significant portion of the population resides in larger urban areas. Milwaukee (550,837), Madison (267,871), Green Bay (106,346), Kenosha (99,270), Racine (77,079), and other cities over 50,000 account for a substantial share of the population. Summing the populations of these larger cities (e.g., Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Waukesha, Eau Claire, Janesville, Oshkosh) yields approximately 1.5–2 million people, or roughly 25–34% of the state’s population.
Since about two-thirds (approximately 66%) of Wisconsinites live in urban areas, many of which are larger cities, the remaining one-third (around 2 million people) live in rural areas, towns, or smaller cities. Towns and smaller cities (villages) often have populations below 7,500. For instance, the fastest-growing city, Lannon, has a small population, and many of Wisconsin’s 1,852 towns have populations under 7,500.
Without exact figures for every city under 7,500, we can estimate based on the urban-rural split and the prevalence of small towns. Approximately 30% of Wisconsin’s population lives in rural areas or small towns, many of which have fewer than 7,500 residents. However, this includes unincorporated towns, so the percentage for incorporated cities and villages under 7,500 is likely lower.
Given the data, a reasonable estimate is that 20–25% of Wisconsin’s population lives in cities or villages with fewer than 7,500 people. This accounts for the significant number of small municipalities while recognizing that larger cities and urban areas house the majority. For a precise figure, accessing detailed 2023–2025 municipal population data from the Wisconsin Demographic Services Center or the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey would be necessary.
It’s difficult to determine how much voter fraud is related to these cities impacted by this ruling. Most likely the real fraud occurs in the bigger cities so the impact of this rule may not be as impactful as a similar ruling on the bigger cities like Madison or Milwaukee, but this is a great start.
Although much evidence shows that the state is red, the efforts to destroy free and fair elections in the state with bloated voter rolls, drop boxes and election machines have kept the Democrats winning statewide races. With paper ballots in place, at least the smaller cities and towns can ensure their votes are accurate.
God save Wisconsin.
