Wisconsin Election Protection Training

STARTING NOW

Are You In Wisconsin?

It is not too late to help with Election Protection of the April 1st Election.

There are three training sessions scheduled to learn how to be a nonpartisan election observer in Wisconsin for the April 1 election (and for the one day remaining of Early Voting in some cities, Tomorrow 3/30.)

Info session is on YouTube & Facebook, today, 3/29/25 at 6pm CST, but you can watch it at any time.

If you are in Wisconsin, please sign up to be an election observer and we'll send you the Zoom link for the other training sessions.

3/30 4pm CDT

3/31 6pm CDT

It's not difficult.

You don't need a special certificate.

You must have

• Photo ID

• A nametag

• Ability to get to a polling location in Wisconsin

• Neutral, professional, respectful attitude

You only have to complete one training session. It is not complicated.

• You will be checking the number of voters who log in

• Getting a copy of the poll tape (election results)

• Protecting absentee ballots, if you choose to do this.

The April 1 Wisconsin Election is Important

• Supreme Court Race is on the ballot. This will determine the balance of power of the WI Supreme Court.

  • It could affect redistricting, which could affect the balance of power in both the WI state legislature and Congress.

  • It will affect key issues like

    • abortion

    • whether voters can use dropboxes to vote

• There is also a referendum of whether to require voters to use a photo ID.

How Can You Help?

If you decide to be a nonpartisan election monitor, you will help:

• Protect the WI election from potential interference

• Monitor polling places for unusual events or data

• Collect data to compare to the reported election results

• Verify accessibility

• Ensure that valid absentee ballots get counted

It is helpful to have the actual polltape from the tabulator. This can be requested in the polling place at the close of polls. That poll tape gives us the type of granular data that is also available sometimes later in a cast vote record. But getting the poll tape is the most reliable and fastest way to gain the information about how the tabulator has counted the vote and start to analyze it for patterns or irregularities.

We cannot guarantee that they will give us the poll tape at each location, but a long time Wisconsin advocate, says that often they do if it's requested politely.

The more people on the ground requesting the poll tapes and documenting the number of voters signing in, the better are chances of having enough data to do a reliable analysis.

This is also a good trial run to prepare for the midterms.
