Biden-Harris DOJ Threatens To Sue Two Small Wisconsin Towns Over Refusal To Use Electronic Voting Machines

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice has threatened to sue two small towns in Wisconsin, Thornapple and Lawrence, for refusing to use electronic voting machines. The towns allegedly failed to provide accessible voting equipment for people with disabilities during the April presidential primary election, violating the Help America Vote Act of 2002. The Wisconsin Elections Commission issued a guidance in June requiring accessible voting equipment for all elections administered by a municipality. A complaint filed with the commission alleged that Thornapple is breaking the law by refusing to make voting machines available to voters with disabilities during the April and August primaries. The town's decision to pull voting machines was reportedly made in June 2023, with some believing it was tied to claims about the rigged 2020 presidential election. Despite the warnings, Thornapple conducted the August primary election using only hand-counted, paper ballots.
