Not in Bristol!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I am so happy the workers followed through and submitted the complaints! We first voted in Bristol during COVID. The box for people to submit their early ballots was located outside the building and unsecured. The tape that was to show integrity wasn’t even affixed properly. Then when you went inside for your ballot the then clerk, Amy Klemko was just putting them in the lid to a cardboard box at her feet under a card table. We decided we would go for in person voting because it we already had concerns about the integrity and conduct of the village administrator and office staff
BRISTOL VILLAGE SCUMBAGS
That’ll be Sara Spencer next.
This early voting BS is way out of hand. Unless you are sick , handicapped or elderly. GET YOUR ASS TO THE VOTING POLLS. Early voting shouldnt even be allowed unless the above exceptions. Covid is over!
True, but some of us also have work contracts that require us to be away from home for days or weeks at a time.
Tough shit. This is why voting is fake and gay. If you can’t make it, oh well.
Most companies honor time off to vote. As a matter of fact , I think it’s the law? Not certain? What did you do before covid? There was life before Covid
For Maga and Conservatives, it’s imperative to rush the polls on Election Day – Election Day votes are much harder to electronically manipulate via audit trail erasure or physical fake-ballot nullification because of the high intensity scrutiny over the immediate count – 2024 proved it. The results must be next day. If extended, the fix is in – and only a vote-by-vote individual validation (like Bush/Gore 2000 in FL) could disprove it. The requirement today is for the Election Day vote rush to be too big to rig.
It was proven via post-audits of 2020 Vote and the 2022 Arizona Gov Vote that Republican votes cast early were subject to destruction to ensure the Democrat count was higher, including fake ghost ballots as necessary to beat the count. None of it was legally heard because the justices feared personal violence. Finally, the vote fraud equally involves State level anti-Maga Republican Party Chmn, Secs of State and Govs coordinating with the Democrat County Clerk level vote counters (overwhelmingly activist females and partisan Democrat males) to cheat the vote at the ground level.
As a republican that works in the central count, I don’t see a lot of this. I do see a lot of liberals trying to take over- so vote, republicans! Get off your ass and vote!!!
The whole village of Bristol are incompetent people. They are also very mean and arrogant. You should investigate the sky high water and sewage bill next! The bills keep going up and the water quality is very poor. And why on earth do you have to pay to rent a meter every billing cycle?
Couldn’t agree more! The water and sewer are outrageous and the water quality is horrible. The Village of Bristol needs a complete OVERHAUL starting with the Administrator on down. It’s a clique-like atmosphere and if you don’t agree with them, oh well! Very sad…
Pretty sure it’s why we have factories and business parks that used our tax dollars to secure water and electrical to be run to their facilities and now our taxes are going up. Somebodies getting paid.
Our water rates just went up again! This is getting ridiculous!
And how much are they collecting from all the sewage being dumped by Pats into Bristol’s wastewater treatment plant? Obviously the savings of that is not being passed on to the residents. Those trucks run nonstop to the facility. But our sewer bills are sky high!!
Is Mr. Drucker or Arnold the pig involved in this?
Ha this is old news! Wondering why this is resurfacing….maybe cause the libeler lost his position. Sounds about kosher
Truth is a complete defense to libel. The “kosher” comment says more about the commenter than the anything else.
Hello Village of Bristol Municipal Clerk Renee Brickner!
You are an ignorant, incompetent, petty, buffoon. When even the heavily leftist Wisconsin Elections Commission decides that you are so worthless that you earned a public spanking for your incompetence from them, girl, it is well beyond time to slink away in shame.
I have no hope that you will do that, however, because you are so stupid you do not even realize what a joke you are & how many people are laughing at you.
It’s obvious that Bristol President Mike Farrell and his gang of Trustees allowed these problems to continue for far too long, despite repeated concerns raised by election workers and voters. And they are hiring another clerk??? Residents who spoke up were brushed off over and over but now their concerns were validated by the Wisconsin Elections Commission. But Farrell has proven he will do nothing but collect his paycheck …….
