Meet the stars of the
ATTACK Of the Clown Show zombies
Wisconsin State Senator
Andre Jacques
Headline: Wisconsin Examiner, 3/21/2023
The lawsuit, filed by state Sen. Andre Jacque (R-DePere), the Wisconsin Senate and a couple of local political figures, alleges the recording system amounts to “a stark invasion of privacy.” Yet not included in the legal briefs is the fact that a disruption by one of the plaintiffs, a proponent of election conspiracies, precipitated the installation of the audio equipment in the first place. The loudest opponents of the equipment also have ties to the conservative challenger to incumbent Mayor Eric Genrich.
Since 2020, Green Bay has been a hotbed of election conspiracism. Green Bay was one of the five municipalities across the state that received a large amount of grant money through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a nonprofit partially funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. After the 2020 election, in which Wisconsin elected Joe Biden, conspiracies spread that the CTCL grants, or “Zucker-bucks” as Republicans took to calling them, were sent to mostly Democratic voting parts of the state in an effort to garner more Biden votes through bribery.
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate

The group has been the target of conspiracies about its use of voter data. And the requirement for states to reach out to unregistered voters has come under attack from prominent Republicans.
Former President Donald Trump earlier this month called on Republican-led states to leave, posting on social media that ERIC is a "terrible voter registration system that 'pumps the rolls' for Democrats and does nothing to clean them up."
"Stop the Steal" activist Scott Presler
Headline: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/22/2023
Scott Presler, a Virginia native and conservative activist who planned several "stop the steal" rallies that promoted false claims about the 2020 election and was on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is backing Kelly and campaigning in Wisconsin on his behalf.
"We're coming down to the final days of this race and with your help, we're taking the fight to Janet! Voters now see her for who she is — a politician in a robe," Kelly tweeted this week with a video of him and Presler.
Trump-tied attorney Kenneth Chesebro
Headline: Wisconsin State Journal, 3/20/2023
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a handful of Democrats, including two official presidential electors, against the 10 Republicans, as well as Boston-area lawyer Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis, a former Republican-appointed Dane County judge who has represented Trump in Wisconsin.
The lawsuit alleges the Republicans and their attorneys broke multiple laws, including counterfeiting public records, illegally interfering with official procedures, defrauding the public and engaging in conspiracy. Plaintiffs seek more than $2.4 million in damages, including $2,000 fines for the Republicans and their attorneys, and up to $200,000 in punitive damages for each plaintiff.
Trump attorney and sycophant Christina Bobb
Headline: San Diego Union, 3/17/2023
Former San Diegan Christina Bobb, lying low, has been scarce on the book tour circuit.
Her only appearances to promote “Stealing Your Vote” have been one-on-one Zoom interviews with proud fellow election deniers and QAnon disciples.
The San Diego State University MBA and former One America News correspondent — who went on to become an attorney for Donald Trump — still insists that “Kari Lake clearly won” the Arizona governor’s race and rues “Republican obstruction” there in 2020.
Newly Elected Colorado GOP party chair
Dave Williams
Headline: AP, 3/11/2023
The Colorado Republican Party on Saturday selected a combative former state representative who promised to be a “wartime” leader as its new chairman, joining several other state GOPs this year that have elected far-right figures and election conspiracy theorists to their top posts.
The move in Colorado comes as the party totters on the brink of political irrelevance in a state moving swiftly to the left.
