John --
Earlier this week, the City of
Madison announced a vaccine
mandate for poll workers -- just two weeks before the
November 30th deadline for county party officials to submit poll
worker names ahead of 2022 elections. The City of Madison’s decision
to unilaterally impose new requirements is a departure from our
election laws and a dangerous slippery slope, and it should sound
alarms for any Wisconsinite concerned about election integrity and
fairness in our democratic process.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin
released the following statement from Chairman Paul Farrow:
“This week, Madison has again decided to use fear to
circumvent election integrity. Mandating vaccines for poll workers, at
a time when even the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s decision to
limit Special Voting Deputies is being challenged in the courts, is
only meant to restrict the public from realizing fair and open
elections.
“This is a prime example of shady behavior from
election officials that sows distrust in the democratic process, and
we are evaluating options to ensure that the City of Madison cannot
further damage voter confidence.”
