While the hypocrites at WaPo write Dem-friendly puff pieces, Milwaukee elections officials won’t let observers see what’s going on.
The Washington Post likes to say that “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” The self-righteous hypocrites behind the accomplice media outlet are part of the dark cloud killing representative democracy. (WaPo is keeping the Pulitzer Prize it won for helping to manufacture the Russia collusion hoax, thank you very much).We do know that election integrity dies in darkness, and “progressive” organs like The Post have been bludgeoning it for years.
Take Wisconsin’s primary election last month, for instance. The leftist-run Milwaukee Election Commission botched another election, smothered transparency, and came back after a counting delay to announce the Democratic Party’s preferred candidate won a race his opponent had been heavily favored in.
The Democrat in question is Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who was politically dead just weeks before the Aug. 11 Democratic gubernatorial primary. He temporarily left the race in the face of overwhelming polling numbers for Madison socialist Francesca Hong.
Despite understandable suspicion about another rigged election in Milwaukee, WaPo and its corporate media ilk did cursory examinations of the suspect activity, taking the word of the incompetent and corrupt Milwaukee Election Commission as gospel. Nothing to see here. They did make sure to cover the Democratic Party-aligned activist groups rallying behind Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paula Gutierrez, who has compiled a record of “errors” that would land most private sector administrators on the unemployment line.
Quickly, the accomplice media turned the page to do what they do best: write glowing pieces about the Democrat in the race. In The Post’s case, absurd stories that murder the truth, painting Socialist Light Crowley as a moderate — pushing the gritty black kid from Milwaukee’s crime-riddled 53206 zip code narrative and disappearing the stunning record of failure in leading Wisconsin’s most-populous county.
Why, David Crowley could make history by becoming Wisconsin’s first black governor, WaPo reporter Karen Tumulty gushed. Of course, she left out some very inconvenient information the Crowley campaign isn’t all that interested in discussing. Like his “Dirt McGirk” days, or that time Milwaukee County employees nearly lost their health care coverage thanks to a benefits lapse on Crowley’s watch. In the words of another bungling lib, that’s a big (expletive deleted) deal. Certainly something a news publication devoted to lighting the darkness might want to include in a hefty profile piece of Wisconsin Democrat candidate for governor. No problem, Crowley’s campaign loved it. So did the Democratic Governor’s Association. And isn’t that what it’s all about.
Meanwhile, a reporter from The USA Today-owned Milwaukee Journal Sentinel jumped on X to snidely downplay an emergency nighttime plane landing in water that injured Crowley’s Republican opponent, Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany, according to The Heartland Post. Tiffany, endorsed by President Donald Trump, and the plane’s pilot were treated for minor injuries suffered in the crash.
Journalistic integrity dies in darkness.
Crowley, many Wisconsin Republicans suspect, can count on The Post and the rest of the corporate media club again on election night when Milwaukee election administrators keep Wisconsin waiting for final results. If history is any indicator, there will be some massive “irregularity” in Milwaukee’s ballot handling that the accomplice media will dutifully explain away, mainly by accusing the suspicious of being “election deniers.” Maybe even “racists” this time around.
‘Wisconsin Government Depends on This Process’
If WaPo really cares about democracy and darkness and all that crap, they’ll take a look at the complaint filed this week with the Wisconsin Elections Commission alleging multiple state election-law violations in Milwaukee. The accusations further lay out, and records show, a Democrat-controlled city with a long history of suspect election administration practices and transparency failures.
The complaint was filed by Milwaukee resident and election observer Justin Gavery with the assistance of the Center for Election Confidence, an election integrity watchdog. Among several allegations, the complaint claims that the two highest-ranking officers of the Milwaukee Election Commission barred election observers from watching ballot-handling and other activities during last month’s primary election day. Observers could not see what election workers were doing in a “blocked-off area” of Milwaukee’s Central Count location.
“Each failure is independently unlawful, an abdication of basic diligence and competence, or an abuse of discretion,” the complaint states. “Taken together, these failures show that MEC could not reliably administer a partisan primary — an election with a fraction of the turnout and operational demand of a General Election.”
Gavery further notes, as The Federalist has extensively reported, that Milwaukee’s primary election day debacle wasn’t anything new. The Milwaukee Election Commission has been a train wreck in administering elections dating back to at least 2018, demonstrating a “persistent pattern that demands the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s … sustained oversight before November 3, 2026,” the complaint alleges.
Milwaukee’s Latest Election Mess Is All Just A Little Bit Of History Repeatinghttps://t.co/5FBlZGBdcI
— The Federalist (@FDRLST) August 17, 2026The feckless Wisconsin Elections Commission — a “bipartisan” panel comprised of three Democrat and three Republican members — has done little to hold Milwaukee election administrators accountable beyond sending a “polite” letter. Don Millis, the chummy Republican-appointed chair of the state Elections Commission, said last week he was satisfied with Milwaukee’s explanations that it was all just “human error.” Best to just “let it lay,” he said, adding that there isn’t “any need for further action.”
Gutierrez, Milwaukee elections director, told the Milwaukee Common Council on Monday that she’s taking corrective steps to prevent similar problems in November. She said central count workers in charge of downloading election results will receive more detailed instructions, including individual steps to confirm points in the process.
Milwaukee Alderman Bob Bauman scolded Gutierrez about the latest “human error” involving absentee ballots.
“It’s not hyperbole to say the future of Wisconsin government depends on this process,” Bauman said. “Because Milwaukee’s absentee ballot count could very well be decisive, could very well swing the balance, very easily, like it has in the past, given the close nature of elections in the state of Wisconsin.”
‘Not a One-Off Mistake’
Gutierrez has said Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Maricha Harris mistakenly selected, downloaded, and transmitted audit log files instead of results on five of nine data sticks. She did so despite having a written copy of the commission’s election procedures manual on hand, according to a recent letter to the WEC, The glitch stalled the release of Wisconsin’s primary election results, including the final tally in the nationally-watched race for the Democrat’s nominee for governor. --->READ MORE HERE
