Title of all three threads:

> Wisconsin 2020 Election Investigation Finds More Illegal Votes Were Cast Than Biden's Margin of Victory

That title is a brazen lie. Which becomes clear very quickly to anyone who actually reads the linked Western Journal article. Not that the Western Journal is a beacon of [journalistic integrity](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/western-journalism/) but the article surprisingly does contain most of the facts needed to [debunk](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/dec/13/facebook-posts/review-did-not-find-more-illegal-votes-bidens-marg/) its own headline.

The original source for the lie is a "review" by a conservative Wisconsin law firm. They had no access to ballots or other internal election data so they performed what they call a "statistical analysis" instead. The "review" claims that 54,259 ballots were cast by voters who never voted in person before and therefore never showed an ID. These people voted with absentee ballots because they were "indefinitely confined" - meaning: unable to vote in person. According to that law firm, the Wisconsin Elections Commission was too lax about granting "indefinitely confined" status. What these conservative lawyers conveniently neglect to consider is that a statewide stay-at-home order was in effect due to the pandemic.

Interestingly, that "review" does not claim that even a single ballot was cast illegally. They had no data that would have allowed them to make a judgment on that. They also have no idea whether those "questionable" ballots were cast for Biden or for Trump. For all they know, every one of those ballots were cast for Trump.

That "review" seems like an attempt to re-litigate a court case from last year. Wisconsin's Supreme Court [sided](https://apnews.com/article/madison-wisconsin-elections-coronavirus-pandemic-courts-5f4b607cb19928953ee09d4dde246f0c) with the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s interpretation of the law that it's up to voters to decide whether they're legitimately indefinitely confined. In a separate case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court [tossed](https://apnews.com/article/wisonsin-supreme-court-trump-lawsuit-e6b3aa222b4141c0844d541c4b041964) Trump's attempt to disqualify more than 221,000 absentee ballots in Wisconsin.

More importantly, the "review" is meant to justify the [Wisconsin recount](https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7e5m4/wisconsin-election-audit-off-to-a-ridiculous-start) which already looks to be [even more ridiculous](https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/why-wisconsin-s-sham-election-audit-might-be-worse-arizona-n1281314) than the Arizona recount.

The "review" by that conservative law firm contains no evidence that even a single of the ballots they call "questionable" was cast illegally. They don't even know who those votes were cast for. This is just smoke and mirrors to make the Wisconsin recount seem justified. The "review" most definitely does not prove Wisconsin was "stolen" from Trump. This thread is spreading Trump's Big Lie. Again. Please remove this thread, suspend this disinformation spreader and ban this disinformation sub!
