Wisconsin's elections are dirty.

Democrat Patricia Schachtner, a Wisconsin state senator and an Electoral College elector, falsely claimed she was "indefinitely confined" to her home.

Dan O'Donnell writes:

Democratic State Senator Patricia Schachtner, one of Wisconsin's ten electors who cast the state's electoral votes for Joe Biden Monday, claimed that she was "indefinitely confined" to her home ahead of the November election, but pictures posted on her Facebook page show her out and about campaigning and enjoying leisure time away from home.

Schachtner and her husband Joseph appear on the Wisconsin Elections Commission list of nearly 250,000 voters who signed a statement on their mail-in ballots that they were indefinitely confined to their homes because of "because of age, physical illness or infirmity" or if they are "disabled for an indefinite period."

The Wisconsin Elections Commission's list of indefinitely confined voters obtained by "The Dan O'Donnell Show" includes both Schachtner, a Democrat from Somerset who lost her bid for re-election last month, and her husband.

Schachtner was not confined to her home.

Dan O'Donnell provides several examples from Schahtner's Twitter account detailing her activities proving she was not confined.

O'Donnell continues:

Wisconsin Statute 12.13 defines election fraud as making "false statements to the municipal clerk, board of election commissioners, or any other election official whether or not under oath."

A false statement of indefinite confinement is a false statement to elections officials, and thus could be a Class I felony punishable by 3.5 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.

Additionally, making "false statements in order to obtain an absentee ballot" is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine "of not more than $1,000, not more than six-months imprisonment or both."

Shachtner was at the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison Monday to cast her ballot as one of Wisconsin's ten electors. Those ten, all Democratic politicians, party officials and other allies, voted unanimously to cast the state's electoral votes for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Schahtner is not above the law. She lied. She must held accountable.
