I'M ZAC SCHULTZ FOR "HERE AND NOW."
>> FACING THE HEADWINDS OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE
NON-PARTISAN GROUP, KEEP OUR REPUBLIC, TEAMS UP WITH
WISCONSIN ELECTIONS COMMISSION TO PROVIDE AN INFORMATIONAL
SESSION TO VOTERS ABOUT HOW ELECTIONS WORK.
THE EVENT, HELD IN WEST BEND, ASPIRED TO BRING GREATER
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO ELECTION PROCESS IN WISCONSIN
AS WELL AS DISPEL INFORMATION THAT CONTINUES TO SIMMER.
THE FIRST HOUR OF THE EVENT SPOKE TO THE MECHANICS OF HOW
WISCONSIN ELECTIONS ARE RUN. SPEAKERS INCLUDED FORMER
REPUBLICAN SENATOR AND CURRENT STATE DIRECTOR OF KEEP OUR
REPUBLIC, KATHY BERNIER. MEAGAN WOLFE AND LOCAL WEST BEND
OFFICIALS, BUT DESPITE THE EFFORT TO ALLAY CONCERNS ABOUT
STATE ELECTION OPERATIONS, IN SOME INSTANCES, IT SEEMED TO
FUEL THEORIES ABOUT THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND WHAT'S
TO COME IN NOVEMBER 2024. >> BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY DID
NOT FIND FRAUD IN GREEN BAY. >> FOR NEARLY TWO HOURS, THE
PANELISTS TOOK QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE WITH A COMMON
THEME. >> YOU DIDN'T CHALLENGE THE
FRAUDULENT-LARS ELECTORS EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE THREE DAYS
BEFORE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. THIS WAS ON FRIDAY THE 11th.
SO ARE YOU GOING TO PLEDGE THAT FROM STOPPING THIS YEAR?
YES OR NO, ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THAT?
REMAINS UNRESOLVED. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS PURPLE.
>> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! ANSWER THE QUESTION!
>> WE ARE IN 2024. >> BUT NOT ALL ATTENDEES
APPROACHED THE EVENT DEMANDING ANSWERS ABOUT 2020.
>> WE JUST DON'T YELL AT THE PEOPLE WHO ADMINISTER THE
ELECTIONS, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HOLD THE PEOPLE IN
MADISON ACCOUNTABLE WHEN WE SEND THEM THERE.
IF THEY'RE NOT DOING WHAT WE WANT THEM TO.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ELECTIONS. >> WE CAME HERE TO LEARN ABOUT
THE PROCESS. SOME PEOPLE ASKING QUESTIONS
WERE ATTACKING THIS. THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE.
THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL SEMINAR.
IT WASN'T A PLACE TO SAY, HEY, HOW ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE THESE
THINGS. >> KEEP OUR REPUBLIC PLANS TO
