Ahead of Wisconsin’s high-profile elections on Tuesday, an election integrity watchdog, Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW), has raised concerns about nearly 5,000 allegedly illegal voter registrations in Milwaukee.

The group claims these registrations were used to cast ballots in the November election, and their challenge to the city’s voter rolls has sparked controversy.

On Wednesday, FEW President Justin Gavery submitted a list of 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations to the Milwaukee Election Commission (MEC).

According to the group’s review of data from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) and the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address database, the registrations involved voters who had either moved out of the county or state before the October 24, 2024, deadline for voter registration.

Among the 4,878 registrations in question, FEW found that 281 voters had moved out of the county before the cutoff date, while 377 had moved out of state.

Additionally, the review found several other discrepancies, such as 2,926 addresses with missing or incorrect apartment/suite/unit numbers, 540 voters who had moved from their registered address, and 501 physical addresses that had been changed to P.O. boxes.

Other issues included 217 voters who had no forwarding addresses on file, 24 who used commercial addresses (such as UPS or FedEx stores), and 11 who registered using a U.S. Post Office address.

FEW formally challenged these voter registrations, calling for an investigation into the irregularities and urging the commission to take appropriate action.

The group’s legal challenge asked that those who had registered unlawfully—such as with a UPS store address—be prosecuted, that postcards be sent to correct any errors, and that the names be moved to inactive status if they were found to be incorrect.

Gavery told Just the News on Thursday that the commission initially attempted to dismiss the group’s challenges.

However, after mentioning the potentially illegal votes cast in the November election, FEW was able to push the issue further.

“We had them cornered, so they did a closed session,” Gavery said.

After about 30 minutes of waiting, the commission reconvened and informed FEW that their challenges would not be accepted.

When Gavery pressed the commission on whether they were interested in investigating potential voter fraud, he said the response was dismissive.

“Meeting adjourned,” he was told.

Gavery clarified that the voter registrations had not been cross-referenced to determine political party affiliation, so the issue is not partisan.

“This isn’t a partisan issue,” he said, pointing out that the registrations could involve both Republican and Democratic voters.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission did not respond to a request for comment on Friday regarding the challenges.

As the state gears up for elections on April 1, including high-profile races for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and a proposed constitutional amendment on voter ID, the issue of voter integrity continues to be a topic of concern.

Voter ID is already required by Wisconsin state law, but the upcoming vote will decide whether to enshrine this requirement in the state constitution.

State Rep. Rob Kreibich, who supports the constitutional amendment, wrote in January that the amendment would protect the integrity of Wisconsin’s voting system.

“For clarification, photo ID is already required by Wisconsin State Statute. But a ‘yes’ vote would amend the Wisconsin Constitution to include this requirement,” he explained.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is another closely watched contest, with Democratic-backed Judge Susan Crawford facing off against Republican-backed Judge Brad Schimel.

Polls show the race is tight, with both candidates tied at 47% support among likely voters, according to a March poll by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

The election has seen significant spending, with reports showing that the race could reach $100 million in total expenditures.

More than $17 million has been spent by groups supporting Schimel, including contributions from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has also donated $3 million to the Wisconsin Republican Party.

Crawford has raised more than $25 million, with support from progressive figures like George Soros and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

With early voting already surpassing previous years’ totals by nearly 50%, the race is shaping up to be one of the most expensive and contentious in the state’s history.

Early voting ends Sunday, and Wisconsin voters will have a chance to decide the future of their state’s Supreme Court and constitutional amendments.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz took his left-wing wish list to Texas this week, blaming the Democratic Party’s 2024 implosion on a lack of “boldness” when it comes to divisive policies like DEI and open-border immigration, as reported by Fox News.

During a town hall appearance in Rosenberg with failed Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, Walz railed against Republicans and even admitted Democrats let the Right define “woke.”

Apparently, his solution is to embrace it harder.

“I’m just going to note this sh*t show of a [Signal] text chain that was going on could have used a little diversity, equity, inclusion in the people who were there.”

Walz didn’t stop there. He blamed Democrats for backing off their far-left policies when confronted by public backlash.

“We got ourselves in this mess because we weren’t bold enough to stand up and say ‘you damn right we’re proud of these policies.’ We’re going to put them in, and we’re going to execute them.”

So just to be clear—his party lost, and his takeaway is that they weren’t radical enough? Got it.

He then accused Republicans of fearmongering, saying, “They’re going to use fear, and they’re going to do whatever they can,” while urging the Democrat base to organize.

He even dragged veterans into the DEI conversation, claiming, “One of the groups that has benefited greatly by us understanding that diversity, equity and inclusion and having policies around that, were veterans themselves for hiring.”

Not done yet, Walz doubled down on his belief that Minnesota’s “very existence depends on diversity, equity and inclusion,” because 70% of the state’s future workforce “will come from communities of color.”

That’s quite a stretch considering most Americans just want a functioning border and a government that doesn’t obsess over skin color and gender pronouns.

And in classic liberal form, Walz couldn’t resist lobbing more verbal grenades at Trump supporters, referring to them as people whose “a**” he could kick—something he had said earlier on a podcast with California Governor Gavin Newsom. President Trump had a response for that.

“Well, he’s a loser. Yeah. No, I think so. He lost an election,” President Trump fired back. “He played a part. You know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part… I think Tim played a part. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hurt herself. And Joe hurt them both.”

From where conservatives sit, Walz’s comments only confirm what we already know—Democrats aren’t learning from their failures. They’re doubling down, and they’re proud of it. And apparently, they’re taking advice from the guy who couldn’t even beat Ted Cruz.

In a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, former State Department official Mike Benz detailed a covert operation by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) during the Obama administration, which involved the creation of a secret Twitter-like social media platform designed to incite political unrest in Cuba.

“This was a scandal during Obama, the Obama USAID era,” Benz said.

“Now, we were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time.”

The operation, known as ZunZuneo, was modeled after Twitter and launched between 2009 and 2014 to target Cuban citizens with initially non-political content like sports, music, and hurricane updates. According to Benz, the aim was to build a user base large enough to later introduce political messages designed to create civil unrest and ultimately spark a “Cuban Spring.”

“This was a Twitter knockoff,” Benz said.

“Zunzini, oh, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just it means it’s bird. It was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was, you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans, if you’re going to do this operation.”

Benz explained that USAID funneled money for the project through concealed channels.

“They took funds, millions of dollars, of funds that were concealed as humanitarian funds designated for Pakistan,” he said.

“Now, I don’t know if Joe or the audience, if you’ve looked at a map lately, but Pakistan is not exactly a next-door neighbor of Cuba.”

The project was executed by Creative Associates International (CAI), a U.S. government contractor.

According to Benz, CAI set up a complex network of front companies and used Cayman Islands bank accounts to conceal the source of funding.

“They said that these were humanitarian funds for Pakistan, and then they ran that to their contractor, CAI, to quote, set up a Byzantine system of front companies using Cayman Islands bank accounts and recruiting unsuspecting business executives who would not be told of the company’s ties to the U.S. government,” Benz said.

The operation reached around 60,000 subscribers in Cuba. Benz described how the initial content served as a smokescreen for building a surveillance and political targeting network.

“The initiative appears to also have had a surveillance dimension, allowing a, quote, vast database of Cuban zunzinio subscribers, including gender, age and receptiveness and political tendencies, to be built,” he said.

“The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro-government users in Cuba.”

Benz emphasized that the political content was introduced after enough users had joined, stating, “Once they hit a critical mass, they would create rental riots and they would use this the same way they used it in Egypt and Tunisia to topple those governments under the Obama administration. They would organize smart mobs, rental riots.”

Internal documents revealed by Benz indicated that the program’s end goal was to spark a political movement and challenge the Cuban government’s power structure.

“Documents show the U.S. government plan to build a subscriber base through non-controversial news content… Later, when the network reached a critical mass… operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize, quote, smart mobs… that might trigger a Cuban spring, or, as one USAID document put it, quote, renegotiate the balance of power between state and society.”

Benz also addressed the implications of running such operations through USAID rather than the CIA.

“This is classic CIA work,” he said.

“You’re using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You’re marking it for Pakistan… If this gets busted, this is why we task the CIA to do this—plausible deniability… because there’s diplomatic blowback if U.S. fingerprints are revealed.”

While Benz clarified he is not defending the Cuban regime, he stated, “I’m simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House.”

No current U.S. official has commented on Benz’s claims, but his revelations have reignited scrutiny of USAID’s role in foreign influence operations and the use of civilian agencies for covert activity traditionally conducted by intelligence services.

Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn raised alarms Friday night about the state of the Democratic Party, pointing to historic lows in national favorability ratings and a shrinking voter base that threatens the party’s electoral viability. During an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, Penn cited recent polling data from CNN/SSRS showing the Democratic Party’s favorability rating plummeting to 29%. The poll, conducted March 6-9, marked a sharp decline from the party’s previous standing at 47%, according to Penn.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in over 40 years of polling,” Penn said. “The Democratic Party ratings have collapsed from a 47% favorable down to 29, 27 in some of these polls, and that’s an incredible loss of moderate, working-class voters.”

Penn, who served as a top adviser to President Bill Clinton and later worked with Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, said the party’s support has narrowed to a more progressive base, alienating moderates and independents who were once key to Democratic victories.

“Those [are the] kinds of voters that the Democratic Party needs to win elections, and it’s being shrunk to a base of left-wing advocates like Bernie Sanders and AOC who were touring the country carrying the Democratic banner. That’s not helping,” Penn added, referencing Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

The polling collapse follows a major political shift in the 2024 elections, in which Republicans reclaimed control of the White House and secured majorities in both the House and Senate.

In response, national Democratic organizations—including the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the Association of State Democratic Committees—launched a new campaign dubbed the “People’s Town Halls.”

That tour began last Friday in Iowa and is targeting Republican-held districts across the country.

Party officials say the effort is meant to rebuild trust with voters and push back against Republican messaging, particularly in battleground states where Democrats suffered key losses. The Democrats’ opposition strategy has focused heavily on the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created under President Donald Trump and currently led by Elon Musk.

DOGE has implemented major workforce reductions across federal agencies, part of a broader initiative to reduce government spending and bureaucracy. While DOGE has received support from fiscal conservatives and portions of the public, it has sparked fierce resistance from Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took to social media earlier this week to criticize the Trump-backed government funding bill, calling it a “slush fund” for Trump and Musk.

In contrast, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania criticized his own party’s response to the bill, suggesting that the resistance amounted to posturing.

“Total theater,” Fetterman said in a public statement, adding to internal Democratic tensions over strategy and messaging.

As Democrats seek to regroup following their 2024 defeats, Penn’s remarks suggest deepening concerns within the party’s establishment over its ability to connect with the voters it once relied on. With favorability ratings falling and leadership splintered over how to respond to President Trump’s policy agenda, party officials face mounting pressure to reassess their direction ahead of the 2026 midterms.
