Wisconsin Election Bribery Statutes Urged To Be Enforced By Election Integrity Activist.

Roger Stone, a political consultant and former adviser to President Donald Trump, has urged the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to launch an investigation into a group called Pizza to the Polls (PttP), alleging that they are violating state and federal laws by providing incentives to voters.

In a complaint filed on July 18, Stone presented evidence to the WEC to support his claims against PttP. He believes that the evidence is sufficient to warrant an investigation by state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Pizza to the Polls is a non-profit organization based in Oregon, operating in multiple states. Their mission is to promote voter participation by making the voting experience more enjoyable with the distribution of free food and drinks at polling stations, as stated on their website.

The group relies on small individual tax-deductible contributions to fund their operations. They also collaborate with corporations and organizations like the Muslim Voter Project, several chapters of the NAACP, and When We All Vote.

When contacted by The Epoch Times, Pizza to the Polls did not respond to requests for comment.

In his complaint, Stone has cited the section on “Expenditures to influence voting” and argues that providing incentives to voters, such as freebies, violates both state and federal laws. Stone emphasizes that receiving things of value to motivate individuals to register, vote, or vote early is a clear violation.

Stone focuses on the fact that the law does not explicitly permit the distribution of items of equal value to both voters and nonvoters. While the law specifically prohibits the giving of items valued over one dollar, Stone asserts that the WEC lacks the authority to create a non-promulgated rule contradicting the legislation.

It is worth noting that providing free rides to the polls is not prohibited by law.

Stone argues that the WEC has failed to adhere to the proper legislative process, and thus, their rule on offering incentives to voters is not legally valid.

When contacted for comment, Riley Vetterkind, a spokesman for the WEC, referred The Epoch Times to Wisconsin Statute section 12.11 as their response.
