Mark Demet

I assumed plenty of instances of fraud would be found on the recall petitions circulated in Wisconsin.

It's troubling to think about in the abstract, but actually seeing the concrete evidence of the fraud really makes me angry.

Such evidence is found on the petition to recall Sen. Van Wanggaard. Jeff Demet says he never signed the petition but his name is there - FOUR TIMES.

From Media Trackers:

On Wednesday, Citizens for Responsible Government in Racine reported that Racine native Jeff Demet’s name was found four times on the petition to recall Republican Senator Van Wanggaard. Finding the same signature four times is bad enough, but when Demet was contacted about the four signatures, he claims he never signed the Wanggaard recall petition at all!

This week, Ken Brown of CRG Racine was perusing the recall petitions for names he might recognize and came across his friend Jeff Demet. Brown thought this was interesting because not only does Demet not support the recall of Senator Wanggaard, but Demet even signed up with Verify The Recall to ensure his name was not on the recall petition.

Nevertheless, there he was was supposedly signing the recall petition four times.

Demet’s signature can be found on the following four Wanggaard recall petition pages:

Wanggaard Page 809
Wanggaard Page 2559
Wanggaard Page 2745
Wanggaard Page 2755

According to Ken Brown of CRG Racine, the current theory is that Jeff Demet’s brother Mark may have signed Jeff’s name since he is a circulator on page 2755 and the handwriting is remarkably similar.

There's more. It's possible Mark Demet forged his mother's name, too.

From Citizens for Responsible Government of Racine:

I found that "Jeff" had been recorded as a signer on forms circulated by Carmen Lassiter, John Scott, Brittanny Calloway, and on page 2755 by Mark Demet. On this very same page Mark collected names and signatures of Mary, (Mark's own mother, who is unlikely to have signed this recall), and Jeff and Mark's other brother Greg Demet, who doesn't live in Racine and has lived in WATERTOWN, for the past 25 years!

The other 3 signatures for "Jeff" appear to match the writing style of Mark Demet, based upon his, (Marks) signature on page 2755 as the circulator! Thus I don't presume the forgery was committed by Carmen, John or Brittanny.

Mary['s] signature as recorded above on form # 2755, is also located on form # 3428, which was also circulated by Mark Demet! not once but twice he knowingly either forged, or allowed to have forged his own Mothers signature!!

Also recorded twice was a "Jackson Demet", who is the son of Mark..and is signed with 2 different addresses. one on Arlington...the other on Buckingham, in Sturtevant I believe. Mark also signed twice as himself on form #2509 with Sergio Angliano; and secondly on form #241, where Laura Betker was the circulator.

Mark Demet is lashing out.

Nice dollop of libel there, boys. See you in court.

CRG doesn't back down.

Mark I urge you to contact me ASAP. Not only has your brother denied signing. Several of your neighbors are now claiming you “witnessed” their names without their permission! Signed affidavits are being collected. My email is linked. BTW does your son Jackson live on Buckingham? Arlington or LaCrosse as his Facebook page states? Did Jackson sign the Dan Kapanke recall’s? Did he vote in LaCrosse in the Kapanke recall? I will be looking into that as well Mark!

Yes, this is messy.

I'm sure the Leftists never expected to be held accountable. I'm sure they thought they could falsify signatures without being called on it.

I suspect there are many petition circulators and signators fearing they are going to be next to be busted.

The lawbreakers have more to fear than fear itself.
