WEC/Zuckerberg Scheme: Illegal

Y'all remember the scheme Zuckerberg cooked up with Dane and Milwaukee Counties and the ever-so-compliant Wisconsin Election Commission to Elect Democrats No Matter How, right? 

Y'all remember the Wisconsin Republican Party's response, right?  (Hint:  insert cricket sound here.)

It was illegal--a violation of the Federal HAVA act.

...This privatization of elections undermines the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters.

The illegitimate infusion of private funding and third-party promotion of training, equipment, security, staffing, and reporting programs by a network of private nonprofits at the local level bypassed state administrative processes, violated legislative prerogatives codified in state Help America Vote Plans (HAVA), and resulted in questions about the integrity of the U.S. electoral system.”..

Republicans repaired to their favorite bar and grill, congratulating themselves on staying out of the newspapers, and read up on their Klausewitz, while missing the FACT that they are in a war--and losing.
