In The Matter of:
Verified Complaint against the RepublicanParty of Wisconsin; Gladys Huber; Isaac
Weix; Gary Ellerman; Tamra LYnnVarebrook; James Engel; and James
Buckley.
VERIFIED COMPLAINT
Pursuantto $$ 5.05, 5.06, 12.13, and 12.16, Wis. Stats,, and GAB ç2.07 Wis. Admin.
Code, Judith Wir¡p;enz, Sarah Koeppen, Susan Finnel, Donna Martin, Richard Dennis O'Flyng,
and Debbie Christiansen, by their attorney Jeremy P. Levinson, submit this verified complaint
against the Republican Party of V/isconsin, Gladys Huber, Isaac Weix, Gary Ellerman, Tamra
Lynn Varebrook, James Engel, and James Buckley.
INTRODUCTION
The Republican Party of 'Wisconsin ("RPW") has publicly admitted that it recruited six of
its supporters to register for and seek placement on the ballot for the upcoming May, 8,2072
election as representatives of the Democratic Party. The stated purpose of having these RPW
supporters run as Democrats is to create false primaries thereby delaying all general elections
that would otherwise occttr on May 8 until June 5, 2012.
Canying out this scheme required, among other things, the hling of official documents
with the Government Accountability Board and the successful circulation and submission of
nomination papers. The respondents falsiflred information on these documents, asserting that the
six phony primary candidates were "affrliated" with and "represent" the Democratic Party,
In their many public statements, the respondents conltrm that there is not any dispute of
fact. The six phony primary candidates have made false statements to the GAB and the public
through their filings: that they are representatives of the Democratic Party who are seeking to
win the chance to face Republican incumbents in the recall general election. Respondents have
admitted that the six phony candidates are seeking ballot placement on behalf of the RPV/ in an
overt and blatant effort to manipulate the upcoming elections to protect and advantage the
Republican incumbents facing recall.
As described below, this scheme disenfranchises electors who signed nomination papers
for the phony candidates believing they were assisting a Democratic effort to unseat a
Republican incumbent. The RPW's scheme involves serial election fraud and invalidates each of
the six phony candidacies because each is founded on fraudulent f,rlings with the GAB and
fraudulent nomination papers.
FACTUAL CKGROIID
1. Judith Winzenz is a Wisconsin resident and elector residing at 1922 N. Lawe St.,
Appleton, Wisconsin.
2, Sarah Koeppen is a V/isconsin resident and elector residing at 202 N. Hamilton
St., Madison, Wisconsin.
3. Susan Finnel is a Wisconsin resident and elector residing at907 Richards Ave.,
Vy'atertown, Vy'isconsin within Wisconsin State Senate District 13,
4. Debbie Christiansen is a Wisconsin resident and elector residing at 2lI0 Crown
Pt. Dr., Racine, V/isconsin within Wisconsin State Senate District 21.
2
5. Donna Martin is a Wisconsin resident and elector residing at 20279 77th Ave.,
Chippewa, Wisconsin within Wisconsin State Senate District 23.
6. Richard Dennis O'Flyng is a Wisconsin resident and elector residing at 414
Franklin St., Vy'ausau, Vy'isconsin within Vy'isconsin State Senate District 29.
7 . On March 30,2012, the Government Accountability Board ordered the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and the State Senators representing Senate Districts 73,21,23,and29 to
stand for recall elections. By operation of Art. XIII, $ 12 of the Wisconsin Constitution and $
9.10,V/is.stats.,thoseelectionswilloccuronMayS,20T2. If"arecallprimaryisrequired,"$
9.10(3XÐ, V/is. Stats., requires that it shall occur on that date with the general election for the
particular office occurring on June 5,2012.
8. The RPW promptly announced a strategy to manipulate the scheduling of these
elections to give its incumbents facing recall elections an advantage. Despite the constitutional
and statutory timing of recall elections and any "required" primaries, the RPW has declared that
it will cause all the ordered recall general elections to occur on June 5,2012,
9. The RPV/ has fuither announced that it will manipulate the timing of these
elections by having its representatives fraudulently register as Democrutic Party primary
candidates in each of the recalls in an effort to trigger false Democratic primaries.
10. The RPV/ has explicitly acknowledged this scheme in detail:
a. "GOP spokesman Ben Sparks says Gladys Huber will run for governor; Isaac
Weix will run for lieutenant governor; and Gary Ellerman, Tamara Varebrook,
James Engel and James Buckley will run for state Senate." Exhibit A
(Associated Press article entitled "GOP's fake Democrats for recall primaries
named" posted on Chippewa,com on April 4,2012).
aJ
b. "In an effort to ensure election fairness, the Republican Party has recruited
protest candidates to run in all of the upcoming recall elections. The protest
candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there is one clear date for
the primary election and one clear date for the general election." Exhibit B
(RPW press release from WISGOP.ORG NEWS)'
c. "The protest candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there is one
clear date for the primary election and one clear date for the general election,"
said Stephan Thompson, the party's executive director. Exhibit C (JS Online
article entitled "GOP to run fake Democrats in recalls" dated March 30,
2012).
d. "'The recruitment of protest candidates was done by the Republican Party of
Wisconsin,' said Dan Romportl, executive director, Committee to Elect a
Republican Senate. 'The party decided to run Democrat primary candidates in
order to line up all of the election dates on June 5."' Exhibit D (Daily Union
article entitled "Ellerman running as a protest candidate" dated Aprll2,2012).
e. A RPW mailer sent on behalf of Gladys Huber and Isaac Weix stated the
following: "Help Walker and Kleefisch fight Back. Support Gladys Huber
and Isaac Weix's Candidacy!" Exhibit E (Mailer paid for by Republican
Party of V/isconsin, Bob Geason, Treasurer).
f. "Today protest candidates turned in the required number of signatures to
appear on the ballot in all six recall elections. Their candidacy will ensure
election fairness going forward and guarantee there is one primary and general
4
11
election date for all candidates." Exhibit F (RPW press release from
V/ISGOP.ORG NEWS).
The phony primary candidates have also acknowledged this scheme:
a. "'They'll say what they say,' Ellerman said. 'It's something both parties have
used. In my personal opinion, the recall is dirty politics since these people
didn't do anything wrong. That's my Republican, conservative view of
things,"' Exhibit D (Daily Union article entitled "Ellerman running as a
protest candidate" dated April 2, 2012),
b. "Gladys Huber, an 8O-year-old Mequon woman who has filed papers to run as
a Democrat in the 8th Senate District recall election made an odd comment
when reached by a reporter: 'I really have no comment at all,' she said. 'I will
refer you to the Republican Party of Wisconsin."' Exhibit G ('Whitef,rsh Bay
Patch article entitled "Who is 'Fake Democrat' in Recall Race" dated June 1 1,
20Ir).
c. A 2011 letter from the Weix campaign stated as follows: "We need to make
sure Democrat challengers face primaries to allow our Republicans time to
mount a campaign, The GAB is delaying Democratic elections to give them
more time to organize. V/e need the same! A Democratic primary will push
the general election back by one month so that Senator Harsdorf can have
more time to organize a campaign against her liberal challenger," Exhibit H
(Mailer Paid for by Friends of Isaac Weix, Earl Gunderson, Treasurer).
d. "In two and a half hours, Varebrook said she flagged about 100 signatures.
Varebrook, a stay-at-home mom, said the reason why she was helping verify
5
signatures is: 'Van is my senator. I voted for him and I don't want my vote
taken away."' Exhibit I (Racine Journal Times article entitled "Verifying the
signatures - As checking begins, some dated wrong, others allegedly from out
ofstate" dated January 26,2012).
e. "'I was out there in the cold weather, snowing, freezing, getting signatures,'
said Jim Buckley, a Kim Simac suppoerter, He has backed Kim Simac from
the beginning." Exhibit J (NIBC 26 story entitled "Recall Election Preview"
dated August 15,20II).
12. Beyond the recruitment of the fraudulent candidates, the RPW expended money
and effort to obtain suffrcient signatures on nomination papers. A March 3l mailing from the
RPW disseminated fraudulent nomination papers, urged people to obtain signatures on them, and
laid out the fraudulent scheme in detail. Exhibit E. This effort to support claimed "Democratic"
candidates included the following exhortation:
Now ¡s tlts tinre to st¿rrd r¡,'ith Gove rnnr \¡Valkor'. I t 6ovornor l(ìorlficclr tnd ou ubr fìon lic:r rr
çüü-diqirl$r.
13. The mailing included the statement that it was:
t''ai¿l fol lry l'le¡ruhItca11 P;1r,t\a of Wirrùrrlitr, flr]b GL1¡Íiorr, 'tt Èitgtllt't
14. The RPV/ publicly announced its slate of six "Democratic" fraudulent recall
candidates. Exhibit A.
15. Gladys Huber is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election of the
Governor.
16. Isaac V/eix is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election of the
Lieutenant Governor.
6
17. Gary Ellerman is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election of the
State Senator for Senate District 13.
18. Tamra Lynn Varebrook is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election
of the State Senator for Senate District 21 '
ß. James Engel is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election of the State
Senator for Senate District 23.
20. James Buckley is the fraudulent primary candidate in the recall election of the
State Senator for Senate District 29.
Fraudulent Camnaisn Resistration Statements
21. Each of the above-named fraudulent candidates filed Campaign Registration
Statements (Form GAB-I) with the GAB stating that their "Party Affiliation" is with the
Democratic Party. Exhibit K. Each of them "certif[ied] that the information in this statement is
true and complete." Each candidate intentionally provided false information as to their "Party
Afftliation."
Fraudulent Declarations Of Candidacv
22. Each of the above named fraudulent candidates filed Declarations of Candidacy
(Form GAB-162) stating under oath that they are 'orepresenting" the Democratic Party in the
recall elections. Exhibit L. In each instance, this sworn statement was fraudulent and made with
the intent to mislead the government agency which administers elections and the public.
Fraudulent Nomination Papers
23. For each of the above-named fraudulent candidates, nomination papers were
circulated which specifically stated that each was "representing" the Democratic Party. Each
nomination paper stated to electors that signing the paper constituted a request that a
representative of the Democratic Party be placed on the ballot for the recall election. These
7
statements \,vere fraudulent and made with the intent to mislead the government agency which
administers elections and the public.
24. Each of these fraudulent statements on offrcial election submissions constitutes
felony election fraud.
Criminal Election Fraud
25. Section 12.13(1Xb), Vy'is. Stats., prohibits "makfing] false statements" to an
"election off,tcial," in this case the GAB.
26. Section 12.13(3), Wis. Stats,, makes it a crime to "falsify any information in
respect to . . . nomination paper, declaration of candidacy or petition for an election, including a
recall petition or petition for a referendum; or file or receive for filing a certiftcate of nomination,
nomination paper, declaration of candidacy or any such petition, knowing any part is falsely
made."
27. Pursuant to $ 12.60, Wis, Stats., violations of the above referenced statutes are
Class I felonies.
28. There is no dispute that the above-described statements are false. The fraudulent
candidates and the RPW have publicly stated so. The fraudulent candidates are not "aff,rliated
with" and do not "reptesent" the Democratic Party.
29. The fraudulent candidates and the RP'W have explicitly acknowledged that, in
fact, these fraudulent primary candidates are part of an effort to manipulate the electoral process
in support of the Republican incumbents facing recall.
30. The fraudulent candidates have officially represented themselves to the GAB and
the public as seeking to represent the Democratic Party in an attempt to unseat the Republican
incumbents when in fact they have acknowledged that their candidacies represent an effort to
support the incumbents' efforts to retain their off,rces.
8
31. Members of the public who are eligible to vote are permitted to sign only one
nomination paper for the same office. Individuals who signed one of the above-described
fraudulent nomination papers would not be able to sign another candidate's nomination paper for
the same off,rce.
32. Individuals who signed the above described nomination paper in reliance on the
statement that the nomination paper sought to place the Democratic candidate on the ballot to
challenge the Republican incumbent unwittingly supported an effort to protect the Republican
incumbents. In doing so, such a signor also lost the opportunity to support the nomination of a
candidate actually supporting the Democratic Party in an attempt to unseat the Republican
incumbent.
33. Candidacies founded on submission of fraudulent official documents and
fraudulent nomination papers do not meet the requirements for ballot access.
34. Art. XIII, sec. l2(4)(b) of the Wisconsin Constitution states:
For any partisan offrce, a recall primary shall be held for eachpolitical party which is by law entitled to a separate ballot andfrom which more than one candidate competes for the party'snomination in the recall election. The person receiving the highestnumber of votes in the recall primary for each political party shallbe that party's candidate in the recall election. Independentcandidates and candidates representing political parties not entitledby law to a separate ballot shall be shown on the ballot for therecall election only.
35. The Democratic Party is entitled to a separate ballot pursuant to $ 5.62, Wis.
Stats. But a primary is only authorized when "more than one candidate" "from" such a party
"competes for the party's nomination in the recall election," By their own admission, the
candidate-respondents are not "from" the Democ rafic P arty .
36. Section 8,19(3), V/is. Stats., provides in relevant part that "fe]very political party
entitled, under s.5.62, to have its candidates onthe partisanprimary and general electionballots
9
has exclusive right to the use of the name designating it at any election involving political
parties." (emphasis supplied). By the respondents' own admissions, the RPV/ and its supporters
are purporting to use the name of the Democratic Party in connection with the recall elections.
37. For those recall elections in which there would be no primary absent the
respondent-candidates, no primary is authorized. The usurpation of the Democratic Party's name
is specifically precluded by statute.
38. Section S.30(1Xb), V/is. Stats., specifically denies placement on a ballot if "[i]t
conclusively appears, either on the face of the nomination papers offered for filing, or by
admission of the candidate or otherwise, that the candidate is ineligible to be nominated or
elected." (emphasis supplied).
39. As a separate matter, proper and timely submission for a Declaration of
Candidacy, Campaign Registration Statement, and a sufficient number of valid signatures on
proper nomination papers are each a mandatory requisite for ballot placement.
40. On each of these documents, the six phony candidates falsely claimed to
"represent" or be affiliated with the Democratic Party. Respondents have acknowledged that the
sole purpose of these falsehoods is to cause the GAB to call primary elections that would
otherwise not take place.
4L The nomination papers circulated for each phony candidate repeated the falsehood
- and represented to the voting public that a signature on the papers supported ballot placement
for a candidate representing the Democratic Party in an effort unseat an incumbent Republican.
In fact, such signatures only furthered the RP'W's arìnounced strategy for protecting its
incumbents. This cheated supporters of the Democratic Party out of their right to support recall
10
of the Republican incumbent because an elector is permitted to sign only one nomination paper
per offrce.
42. A candidate who failed to submit a Declaration of Candidacy, a Campaign
Registration Statement, or sufficient and valid nomination papers would not be placed on the
ballot. Submitting admittedly fraudulent ones requires the same result.
43. Finally, the respondents' own admissions render invalid the certifications of the
circulators of the fraudulent nomination papers.
44. For these reasons, individually and collectively, the names of the six phony
"Democratic" candidates do not qualify for ballot placement,
WHEREFORE, Complainants request that the GAB deem the candidate-respondents
ineligible for placement on the ballot, and initiate investigation of the above-described matters as
provided for by law.

The state GOP has lined up six fake Democrats to run in upcoming recall elections targeting Gov. Scott'Walker
and five other Republicans.
GOP spokesman Ben Sparks says Gladys Huber will run for governor; Isaac Weix will run for lieutenant
governor; and Gary Ellerman, Tamara Varebrook, James Engel and James Buckley will run in four state Senate
recalls.
Engel will be running as a fake Democrat against former state representative Kristen Dexter, an Eau Claire
Democrat who declared her candidacy against Republican State Sen. Terry Moulton in Chippewa Falls inJanuary.
The elections are scheduled for May 8 and June 5. If primaries are needed they'll be held May 8.
Sparks says running what he called "recall protest candidates" guarantees a clear primary date and ensures no
Republicans will face a general election that day, when Democrats likely will turn out in huge numbers to select a
gubernatorial challenger.
He says the party doesn't plan to spend any money on their campaigns.

RPW Running Protest Candidates in Recall ElectionsAuthor: Nicole.Tieman
IMADISON, Wl]- Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Stephan
Thompson released the following statement on the decision to run protest candidates:
"ln an effort to ensure election fairness, the Republican Party has recruited protest
candidates to run in all of the upcoming recall elections. The protest candidates will run
as Democrats to guarantee that there ìs one clear date for the primary election and
one clear date for the general election. The Republican Party w¡ll not actively
campaign for the protest candidates, other than collecting nomination signatures to
ensure their place on the ballot.
"Without protest candidates, the Democratic Party would be able to control the dates in
which Republican officials face election, potentially separating the elections for State
Senate and Lieutenant Governor from the Governor. The Democrats and their union
bosses are the ones who decided to force these baseless recalls on our state, and by
ensuring every Democratic candidate faces a primary election, we will limit their ability
to once again create chaos within the election process."

Madison - The State Republican Party announced Friday it intended torun fake Democratic candidates in the six upcoming recall elections,ensuring that primaries will be necessary in May and forestalling thehead-to-head recall elections until lune.
The announcement came just hours after state elections officials orderedrecall elections against Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch andfour Republican state senators.
Primaries will be conducted May 8 and the general election will be June 5for all of the races, assuming the primaries come about as planned, MayB becomes the general election date in any races that do not attractenough candidates for a primary,
"The protest candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there isone clear date for the primary election and one clear date for the generalelection," said Stephan Thompson, the party's executive director,
He said the move was made because otherwise some or all of thegeneral elections could fall on the same day as the primary for governor- when Democrats will flood to the polls to pick their candidate forgovernor.
Four Democrats have said they will run against Walker. A primary hadalso been expected in the race to unseat Kleefisch, but not the senators,
The Republican Party said it would run fake Democrats in all races,including for governor. The strategy ensures all the elections will happenon the same schedule, even if three of the four Democrats running forgovernor drop out of that race.
Thompson said none of the protest candidates would actively campaign.
Running the fake Democrats mirrors the move they made in last year'srecalls to buy themselves more time to campaign. Democrats crítícizedlast year's effort for adding upward of 9400,000 in costs for local electioncl erks.
The primary and general recall election are expected to each cost $9million - $18 million in all,

The protest candidates this time should not significantly add to those costs because a statewide primaryalready appeared certain in the race for governor and lieutenant governor.
Last year six Republican and three Democratic state senators faced recalls, the largest wave of statelawrnakers over a single issue in the country's history, In those recalls, Democrats narrowed the GOPmajority in the Senate from 19-14 to 17-16,
Earlier this month, one of the four Republican senators targeted for recall in the upcoming round, PamGalloway of Wausau, quit, leaving the Senate equally divided, 16-16. The upcoming recall elections willdetermine the control of the Senate, but only in the short term, Signatures are being gathered in an attemptto recall Democratic Sen. Bob Jauch of Poplar, and half the Senate is up for election ín the fall,
Those facing recall in the coming weeks are Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald of luneau and GOPSens. Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls and Van Wanggaard of Racine. Recall organ¡zer Lori Compas isrunning against Fitzgerald; former Rep. Kristen Dexter of Eau Claire is running aga¡nst Moulton; and formerSen. lohn Lehman of Racine is running against Wanggaard.
The Galloway recall will still be conducted, as well. Rep. Jerry Petrowski (R-Stettin) and Rep. Donna Seidel (D-Wausau) plan to run in that race.
The plan for protest candidates could create some headaches for Petrowski. This month, he told WAOW-TV inWausau, "I do not condone the practice of running fake candidates in political races. Both political partiesshould focus solely on the issues that matter to this state,"
In ordering the recall elections, the Government Accountability Board also voted 5-0 to post on its websitedatabases of all those who signed recall petitions.
The board had earlier made available on its site copies of all the petitions, but they are not searchable.

To ensure a pilmaryEllerman runn¡ng as a protest candidate8y Fyån WhlsnerUnlon reglonål Edllor
LAKE MILLS - A Lake l\¡ills Fìepublican ¡nlends lo enter the race
against Senate lvlajority Leader Scott F¡tzgerald as a prolestcandidate lo ensure a primary and have the general election beat the same time as lhe gubernator¡al recall on June 5.
Gary Ellerman free¡y admils thal he is running as a proleslcandidate.
Ellerman, a conseruative Republ¡can, is lhe organ¡zer ol lheWalker Walkers of Lake M¡lls, an organizat¡on whose solepurpose is to show Gov. Walker and, now, also Sen. ScottFilzgerald, lhe supporl that was, to them, nol evident while recallpet¡tion signalures were be¡ng soliciled in the park fromNovember to January.
Ellerman will be entering the race as a lake Democrat, forcing apr¡mary w¡th Democrât Lor¡ Compas, 41, the Fort Atk¡nsonphotographer who organized lhe Comm¡ltee to Fìecall Scolt Fitz-gerald and is opposing F¡tzgerald in lhe recall eleclion.
"The simple trulh is that lvlr. Ellelman is running as a Democralwhen he is, ¡n fact, a Republican," Compas sa¡d. "That's a l¡e,pla¡n and simple, and I pred¡cl lhat Scott F¡lzgerald's decision tostart his campaign with a lie w¡ll nol sit well w¡lh voters "
Fitzgerald was targeted for recall along w¡th Gov Scott Walker,Lt Gov. Kleelisch and Republican Sens Pam Galloway ofWausau, Terry N¡oullon of Chippewa Falls and Van Wanggaardof Rac¡ne alter they pushed through a law lasl year lhaÌ lim¡tscollecl¡ve barga¡n¡ng r¡ghts for most state workers. ll also lorcedlhe workers to contr¡bute more to lheir pension and heallh carecosts, which amounled lo a cul ¡n pay Gary Ellerman
The governor argued the changes were needed to help balance the state's budget, while Democrats and other opponents saidthe lrue inlention was to weaken the power of unions wh¡ch trad¡tionally have opposed Republicans.
A pass¡onate f¡ghl ensued in Wisconsin, the first state lo enacl a comprehensive collect¡ve bargaining law ¡n '1 959 and thebirthplace of the national un¡on representing all non-federal public employees. Protests raged for weeks and grew as large as1 00,000 people.
Bul Walker and Republ¡cans who conlrolled lhe Leg¡slature never wavered, and they passed lhe law even though all 1 4 SenateDemocrats fled to l¡lino¡s in a failed attempt to block it
The W¡sconsin Republican Party sâ¡d Fr¡day that it plans to force pr¡mar¡es in eâch of the lour Senale races by renewing atacl¡c ¡t used last year: running a fake Democrat¡c candidate in each race
Stephan Thompson, the state party's executive director, sa¡d lhe move guaranlees one clear date for both the primary andgeneral elect¡ons That prevenls Democrats from try¡ng to hold the elecl¡ons for state Senate on a d¡lferenl day lrom thegovernor and lieutenant governor races, he sa¡d
Zac Ktamet, execut¡ve d¡rector ol the Slale Senate Democrat¡c Commìttee, crilic¡zed the ploy, say¡ng local voters were "s¡ck olthese blalant pol¡t¡cal games-"
Pr¡mar¡es had been expecled ¡n the races for governor and lieutenant governor With the GOP's announcemenl about runn¡nglake Democrals, they now w¡ll be guaranteed in all cases The primaries will be May I and the general elect¡on June 5.
Ellerman said approx¡mately two weeks ago the Republ¡can Party of W¡sconsin contacted him, having heard of him be¡ng theorganizer ol the Walker Walkers ol Lake N¡ills Party olf¡cials inquired il he would be ¡nteresled ¡n being a protest cand¡date
"Al lhat po¡nt I d¡dn'l know what ¡t was," Ellerman said

Upon doing some investigat¡on, he learned more of what was entailed in runn¡ng as a lake Democral or protesl candidate. H¡shiends wilhin lhe Walker Walkers ol Lake [,4¡lls encouraged him to take on the role.
"lt was a way of basically protesting the recall to start w¡th and creale a primary s¡tuation for Lori Compas so F¡tzgerald d¡dn'thave to do a regular eleclion during the primary - he could do il w¡lh everyone e¡se when the gubernatorial election is held,"Ellerman said.
He spoke w¡th state Republican oflicials several t¡mes and then agreed to add his name to the ballol.
Over th¡s past weekend he started gather¡ng s¡gnalures to get h¡s name on the ballol
"We are not going to actively campaign," Ellerman said. "l have no doubts lhat she is putting a good campaign togelher to beatme. I don't think that's the ¡ssue. The ¡ssue ¡s try¡ng to get everylh¡ng slra¡ghlened out so there is a real primary and a realelection."
He gives Compas and her volunteers credit in starting wilh nothing and being successful in collecting the signatures to lorce arecall against Filzgerald.
"l think she's got a tough road with Fitzgerald," Ellerman said.
As for h¡mself, he has no illus¡ons aboul garnering many votes ¡n the primary
"l plan on being totally embarrassed that day because I'll probably get two votes - me and my w¡|e," Ellerman said. "lt's really astrategic move to get everybody lined up and mov¡n9."
He anticipated the outcry of opponents claim¡ng his campaign was "dirty polit¡cs."
"They'll say what they say," Ellerman sa¡d. "lt's someth¡ng both parties have used. ln my personal opinion, the recall is dirtypolit¡cs since lhese people didn't do anyth¡ng wrong. That's my Republican, conseryal¡ve view of things. We're not deal¡ng wilhcriminal activity or anything like that "
With¡n hours of filing lhe paperwork indicating that he ¡nlends to place h¡s name on the ballot, Ellerman rece¡ved telephonecalls and emails from e¡ther Compas' campaign or her supporters ¡ndicating lhat his campa¡gn would ¡ncrease lhe overall coslof the eleclion.
"ln fact it isn't going lo cost anymore money lor me to be a protest candidale because the gubernalor¡al pr¡mary was alreadygoing lo happen," Ellerman said. "When you get down to the dela¡ls, ¡t doesn't cost any more to put one more name on lheballot."
Jelferson County Clerk Barb Frank told the Daily Un¡on lhal the add¡lonal primary in Districl 1 3 would add some cost due to thedilferent ballol styles.
"ln the scheme of how much were spending, ¡l's very minimal," Frank said, nol¡ng lhat the protest candidate likely would addonly about $2,000.
From Ellerman's understand¡ng, F¡tzgerald himself was not ¡nvolved in contact¡ng him about be¡ng a candidate in the primary.
"The recru¡tment ol protest cand¡dates was done by the Republican Party of Wisconsin," said Dan Romportl, execut¡ve direclor,Commiltee lo Elect a Republican Senate. "The party decided to run Oemocrat primary candidates in order to l¡ne up all of lheeleclion dates on June 5 "
He said lhal wilhout runn¡ng the protest candidates, the lhree senators facing recall would be lacing a general elect¡on on thesame day as the Democralic gubernatorial pr¡mary
"This move ensures election fairness, and was done completely ¡ndependent of the senators'campa¡gns," Romporll sa¡d "Lor¡Compâs is simply trying to deflect atlenÌ¡on away lrom her farlefl ideology and her lack ol a plan to create jobs in the 1 3lhSenate Distr¡ct."
Fitzgerald previously has sa¡d he plans lo run h¡s recall eleclion câmpaign on his record of seru¡ce w¡th¡n the d¡strict. He hasc¡ted lhe state's improved business rank¡ng, lhe balanced budget w¡th no tax ¡ncrease and creat¡on ol 1 2,500 jobs.
Wh¡le supportive of h¡m, Ellerman noted that the Walker Walkers of Lake Mills have not act¡vely campaigned lor Fitzgerald,other than acknowledg¡ng he is a Republican.
"Our ma¡n dr¡ve was lhe Walker s¡tuation and pushing back on all lhe recall stuff," he said
As for any campâ¡gn, he is not interested in debales and does not want to make speeches
"lt's really a procedural move," Ellerman ¡ndicated "This has been done a lot W¡scons¡n has a history of doing these for thelâst several years. It's really nothing new.
"lt's gelting more press because of the healed pol¡lical s¡tuation," he said

Who is 'Fake Democrat' in Recall Race?Republican activisl from Mequon running in 8th Senate District to force a Democratic primary
By Marie Fohde : Ema¡l the author June 1 l, 201 1

Related Topics: 8th Senate District, Alberta Darlinq, Democrats, Gladvs Huber, Recall,
Republicans, Sandv Pasch, Wisconsin Politics, and recall electionWhat do you think of the tactic's of running a "fake" Democratic in the primary race? þljgiqlþcomments.
Gladys Huber, an 8O-year-old lVequon woman who has filed papers to run as a Democrat in the 8th Senate District recall election made an odd commentwhen reached by a reporter.
"l really have no comment at all," she said. "l will refer you to the Republican Party of Wisconsin."
State party officials did not return calls about Huber's candidacy but they have been upfronl about its intention to run Republicans as Democrats in an
effort to give incumbent senators like the 8th District's Alberta Darling more time to raise money and campaign.
The staÌe's Government Accountability Board said Friday that Huber has officially registered to run as a Democrat against state Rep. Sandy Pasch of
Whitefish Bay. lf both candidates meet the 5 p,m. Tuesday deadline to file nominating petitions, a primary election would be held July .12 and the winner
of that race would take on Darling on Aug. 9.
Democratic candidate an act¡ve RepublicanWhile Huber won't talk about why she's running as a Democrat, lhere is no doubt that she has longtime roots as an acl¡ve member of the Republican
party in Ozaukee County.
Huber, born in April 193.1 , is one of 10 people elected to serve as a leader in the Ozaukee County Republican Party. For a number of years, she has
served as a member-at-large.
Huber has a yard sign supporting Darling in front of her home. She also donated $100 to Darling on March 28, according to the GAB. Between 2002 and201 0 Huber gave almost $2,000 to Republican candidates or the state party, records show.
Huber is a longtime poll worker in Ozaukee County, most recently serving as the Republican observer in the Supreme Coun recount. ln 1996, she was
the membership chairwoman for the county GOP. She was lhe quoted by the Journal Sentinel as saying: "l am a firm believer in the grassroots. The
EXHIBIT
G
grassroots is where the grunt work gets done."
ln 1 994, Huber filed a complaint against Eric Grant, who was a Republican candidate for the 60th District Assembly seat. Grant, she said, had not formed
a commiltee before raising and spending money on his campaign. He paid a $150 fine.
She also served on the counly's Department on Aging and on the Lasata Care Cenler board, the county-owned senior apartment complex.
Recall election could be delayedWhile plans now call for a primary election on July 9 and a general election in August, those dates could be delayed. Darling has joined five other
"lt's merely to insure that the rules governing recall elections are followed," Mcleod said.
Pasch likened the maneuver to run a fake Democrat to the "d¡rty tricks" of the Nixon administration.
"Given how much taxpayer money will be wasted on this cynical ploy, Senator Darling's hypocrisy is stunning," Pasch said. "l guess her priority is saving
her political skin, not listening to her constituents who are frustrated by politicians who cut priorities like education and health care while giving away huge
tax breaks to corporations."
recall election will cost Milwaukee County between $50,000 and $75,000, said Lisa Weiner, head of the elections commission. A primary electionld cost the same amount, she said, Ozaukee, Waukesha and Washington counties would have similar expenses.
money, Weiner said, would come from the county's contingency fund, but the municipalities will front the costs and be reimbursed within a couple of

This whole thing of entering fake candidates is despicable and a slap in the face to the democratic process of elections; it really borders on being un-
American. Obviously Pasch will win lhe primary if entering a fake candidate is legal. And with how upset many people on the right are about this
disgrace, looks like her chances will get better to w¡n a Senate seat.

The question here is does Sen. Darling know about this, and does she approve? lt's not just a cynical maniuplation of the electoral process, but
actually costs money, which Sen. Darling apparently is fine doing, as long as it doesn't go to help people and programs which need it, like teachersand schools.

Another example of how the Republicans will stoop to any tactic to delay payback for what they are doing to lhe people of this state. I only hope thisopens more people's eyes about how desperately we need to break the Republican stronghold and get back to bipartisan solutions -- not this sickdictatorship where a radical few take power and push their agenda into law. Alberta Darling may have once been a moderate, but she has sold out tothe far right and is now their puppet. She listens to no one else.

Does the Democralic Parly have any say at all as to who officially runs for office with them? Can a political party "oust" a registered candidate formisrepresenlation? Do voting members of the Democratic Party have any say in this? Can anyone register as a candidate in any party regardless of
behavior, point of view or platform? This issue reminds me of the "bait and switch" tactics used in false advertising. I don't understand why it'stolerated...or is it?

Amen, the whole recall thing is a Democratic sham by the whining leftists upset that their agenda is being derailed by Republican programswhich are turning oul to be good for Wisconsin. Wisconsin business leaders are finally looking more confident about what is happening in
Wisconsin government. This means more jobs, better opportunities for the taxpaying private sector employees less for the ungrateful bloatedpublic sector union leadership. I don't believe we want to go backwards to a Doyle type of government with more taxes and fees, robbing ofsegregated funds and anti business legislation.

Hi LFO!
Just wondering when you mention "you high and mighty Dems", to which commentors were you referring? Or were you just referring to all"Dems"? Also, if indeed "Dems" did the same thing in the last election cycle and such action has lowered your opinion of them... why wouldyou feign defending any other group for the same action?
Dennis Allen Flag as inappropriate3:48 pm on Sundav. June 1 2. 201 1
Wait until the Koch Bros. decide you're not paying enough for your electricy and double your rate. Who you gonna call ? LOL The recalls have nothingto do with the unions. You're drinking too much Kool-Aid. The people of Wisconsin woke up to the fact that the people they elected weren'trepresenting them, but instead big business. That's why the recalls. You TP/GOPers always chant the same old mantra and expect people to believeit. You believe in the saying that if you repeat a lie often enough someone will believe it. I think the people of Wisconsin have their eyes open now.We'll see come July. Remember the saying ,"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me ".

Joe Peterlin - On the contrary... many Dems don't like the idea of a fake candidate on either side. I think this stinks less than running a fakeopposing candidate, but it still stinks. This is obviously a defensive move in ùying to maintain some control over these elections after therepublicans entered their fake candidates, but it only adds to the confusion for people.
With that said, NOTHING is official in regards to who is running. Not even Pasch and Darling are officially on the ballot yet. I think this is agood issue to discuss, but only after lhe candidates are certified.

Budget is fiscally sound, shoddy on economics, morally bankrupt and steals from the future. There were are a lot of creative ways todo this other than straight ideology, but you can never use Scott Walker and creative in lhe same sentence.
Maybe God told him to screw those who are least able to defend themselves.
Funny, those least able to defend themselves have been quite successful over the past 40 years, they did a great job of screwing theaverage taxpayer. Now that we have the facts on their pay and benefits they can no longer pull the wool over our eyes!

Keith, Tell you what, lhere are a lot of private sector taxpayers who would willingly trade places retirement for the ret¡rement benefits of public
sector workers who seem to be great at whining about their sacrifices to now finally pay something towards their retirement benefits and
didn't say they were rolling in dough but they sure have better benefits than most private sector workers who by the way havefor their benefits all along. due time for public sector workers to share the sacrifice of today's economy!

Michael Schwister Flag as inappropriate12:52 om on Thursdav. June 16.2011
RAK, I retired from pr¡vate business and I am lost as how you think that the public sector doesn't pay towards the¡r benefits. Those benefits representwage concessions. Period, ln the trade unions we negotiate a gross wage. The membership decides where the wages are assigned. The check,pension, health, trade promotion and training. Now we could get insurance cheaper but by belonging to a union our moral conscious demandedinsurance from a company that paid a living wage. The structure of most union construction companies was the field was union the office was not.The office was only too happy lo get a 401k and live with insurance benefits sub par to the field as long as they got it on the check. Now the officemakes 30% more than the field, and its the fields benefits that are too expensive. So much for saving.

Keith Schmitz Flag as inappropriate12:53 pm on Thursdav. June 16,2011
But they don't have betler salaries, and so as it works in the real world, they negotiated these benefits. Not that any one would accuse Walkerhaving character, but these benefits were negoliated in good faith.
I don't know about you, it's not a good idea to depend on a cop or firefighter over 55 trying to protect you.
lnstead of your whining, crying and childish resentment over what public employees are getting, why don't you man up and advocale unions in theprivate sector? Why don't we all have whal you think unions have?
lf you are smart enough to notice, w¡th the decline of unions so has gone the middle class, making that small group of white men obscenely richer.But since it is a group of white men, you seem to have no problem with that. Those are the people vacuuming your pockets.
Of course Walker testified under oath before Congress that ending collective bargaining had nothing to do with reducing our costs. So if you think it
does, then maybe Walker should be brought up for charges.
CowDunq Flag as inappropriate1 :41 pm on Tuesdav, Julv I ?i 291.:1.
lvlaybe you should check your facts about what it was that Walker testified under oalh about. Walker testified that two specific provisions ofhis bill did not reduce our costs: 1) requiring unions lo recerlify annually and 2) prohibiting the deduction of dues from their paychecks.
Limiling collective bargaining does indeed lower costs...

VIDEO: Checking recall petition signatures'Wednesday local volunteers at the Racine County GOP Victory Center, 62II Durand Ave., officiallystarted the process of reviewing the approximately 24,000 signatures Democrats turned in last week to
recall Sen. Van'Wanggaard, R-Racine. They are to look for signatures dated outside the window between
Nov. 15 and Jan. 14,the first and last day signatures could legally be collected. They are also checking to
make sure no signatures are missing and flagging petitions where all of the information appears to have
been written by the same person. Journal Times video by Mark Hertzberg
MOUNT PLEASANT - Tamra Varebrook,43, of Racine, said she found recall petitions dated wrong, others not
signed, and a few signed by out-of-state residents. That was just in her first two and a half hours 'Wednesday at
the Racine County GOP Victory Center in Mount Pleasant, she said.
For two months, Democrats flocked to the streets to collect signatures to recall the governor and senators.
Wednesday local volunteers at 6211 Durand Ave. officially started the process of reviewing the approximately
24,000 signatures Democrats turned in last week to recall Sen. Van 'Wanggaard, R-Racine.
Democrats only need 15,353 valid signatures to hold a recall election and they have said without doubt they have
enough valid signatures. But Justin Phillips, Wanggaard's campaign manager who works out of the victorycenter, said reviewing the signatures is necessary to protect the integrity of the process.
In preparation of receiving copies of the petitions, Phillips said they trained approximately 200 volunteers to
review petitions and about 20 people were there Wednesday afternoon helping.
They were looking for signatures dated outside the window between Nov. 15 and Jan. 14,the first and last day
signatures could legally be collected. They were also checking to make sure no signatures are missing and
flagging petitions where all of the information appears to have been written by the same person.
Reid Magney, the Government Accountability Board spokesman, said all signatures need to have dates including
the year to be counted. Also, he said the person who signed the petition must have written in their own numerical
o
a
address and the day of the month as well as their signature. The person circulating the petition could not have
filled out that information, he said.
This week volunteers locally are conducting more of a surface review, where they ensure all information is there,
Phillips said. That includes name, date and address. In Madison, workers will more thoroughly review addresses
to verify voters live in district, he said. At this point, volunteers are only reviewing Wanggaard recall signatures
locally, Phillips said, he did not yet know the plan for the petitions to recall the governor and lieutenant governor.
In two and a half hours, Varebrook said she flagged about 100 signatures. Varebrook, a stay-at-home mom, said
the reason why she was helping verify signatures is: "Van is my senator. I voted for him and I don't want my vote
taken away."
Marge Orth, 63, of Caledonia, also had a page filled with notes about flagged petitions. On some of petitions, she
could tell the person that filled out the address was not the same as the person who dated the signature.
"The twos, they don't match," she said. She doesn't know if the signatures she flagged will be thrown out, but she
said, "You have to question it. We'll let the lawyers figure it out."
Judge extends recall verÍfïcation period
MADISON (AP) - A Madison judge has granted state election officials an additional 30 days to verify nearly 2
million signatures on recall petitions against Gov. Scott Walker and five other Republicans.
Democrats and their allies filed the recall signatures against'Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four GOP
senators, including state Sen. Van Wanggaard, R-Racine, with the state Government Accountability Board on Jan.
17. State law gives the board 31 days to verify the signatures' authenticity. The clock began ticking on Jan. 18.
But the board says it's been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of names and a Waukesha County judge's order
calling for the board to ferret out fictitious names and duplicate signatures.
Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess says the board faces an unprecedented task and deserves more time to
do its work.
The judge's decision extends the review deadline into March.

The final round of Summer Recall Elections is just one dayaway. Two different races, at each end of the Badger State,have Democrats defending their turf.
ln the 22nd District, Democrat Robert Wirch facesRepublican newcomer Jonathan Steitz.
And in the Nofthwoods, incumbent Democrat Jim Holperinfaces Republican Kim Simac, for the 12th State SenateDistr¡ct seat.
At Jim's Radiator Service in Antigo, owner Jim Buckleyremembers the recall process.
"l was out there in the cold weather, snowing, freezing,getting signatures," said Jim Buckley, a Kim Simacsupporter.
He has backed Kim Simac from the beginning
"When we elect a Senator, we expect them to work for all
the people, not just a select few," said Buckley.
But just across town,
"As you can see, we support Jim Holperin," said DwainePackard, a Jim Holperin supporter.

Dwaine Packard is getting ready to shuttle voters to lhepolls tomorrow.
"l hate to see them lose the ground they already have. I think he's done a wonderful job, for this area," said Packard
It's a race borne of the Capitol Chaos, to be settled in a Northwoods voting booth.
"Wednesday morning we're going to turn a page and the people are going to demand that we get down to what we do
best, which is work. And come together and turn this state around," said Republican challenger Kim Simac.
"lt won't change either way the majority make-up of the Senate we now know. But a lot of people are interested in
maintaining the seat in Democratic hands," said State Senator Jim Holperin.
