Established Fact
Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, Wisconsin State Lead for the National Vote at Home Institute (NVAHI) acting under CTCL authority, exercised substantive election administration authority in Green Bay that is exclusively vested by Wisconsin statute in municipal clerks: he assigned poll workers, performed check-in and supervision duties, developed Central Count procedures, directed ballot transport logistics, supervised ballot counting operations, made determinations on whether to accept ballots delivered after the 8 p.m. statutory deadline, and coordinated three Wi-Fi networks — including a hidden, non-password-protected network reaching his 8th-floor hotel room — to which all ESS voting machines in Green Bay’s Central Count were connected. These actions were taken without governmental appointment, statutory authority, or executed agreement with the City of Green Bay. Wis. Stat. § 7.15(1) vests exclusive “charge and supervision of elections” in the municipal clerk. Former Green Bay City Clerk Kris Teske stated in sworn WEC proceedings that her election obligations were “hindered and diminished by outside interference.”
