#M.D. Kittle

Worried that “thousands” of votes ran the risk of not being counted, David Kronig, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s director of voter protection, fired off an email to Green Bay officials the day before the presidential election.

“We’re checking in regarding the guidance that went live on the City’s website, we think this morning, that the drop box at City Hall will be open until 8pm tomorrow,” Kronig wrote to Vanessa Chavez, Green Bay city attorney, Celestine Jeffreys, the Democrat mayor’s chief of staff, and Amaad Rivera, Green Bay community liaison.

Copied on the email are Devin Remiker, a Biden campaign staffer and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s former senior elections director, Daniel Melfi, Wisconsin state director of Joe Biden for President, Scott Spector, Wisconsin senior adviser for the Biden campaign, and Tanya Bjork, a veteran operative for Team Biden and former President Barack Obama.

In the email, Kronig wrote that the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s “clear guidance” on state election law requires ballots to physically be at Central Count locations by 8 p.m. to be counted. The city had advised voters that absentee ballots had to be in the drop boxes by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

The state Democrats and Biden campaign staffers urged the city to strictly follow the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s guidance on the point.

“We understand that there is some ambiguity in the statute on this point and there is an argument to be made that being in custody of the city clerk suffices. However, even if the city’s interpretation is entirely correct, we think that it is too big a risk to take,” Kronig wrote. “There are still thousands of unreturned ballots in Green Bay, and risking that some portion of those ballots might not be counted over an arguable legal interpretation just isn’t worth it.”

In other words, think of all those Biden votes the city might be missing. In a close election in battleground Wisconsin, the partisan operatives didn’t want to take any chances. The message turned more urgent.

“Against the backdrop of the [Wisconsin Elections Commission’s] guidance, I’d think there’s a less than 15% chance the city would win a lawsuit—with the end result that hundreds of thousands of Green Bay voters could be disenfranchised through no fault of their own.”

That was just a bit hyperbolic. Green Bay’s population is just over 100,000 people, with some 60,000 registered to vote in November’s election.

Constitutional Carry movement comes to longtime Democrat stronghold

Image Credit: Kelly McCarthy

MADISON, Wis. – Law-abiding gun owners would no longer be required to obtain a license in order to carry a concealed firearm in Wisconsin, under a bill being circulated for sponsorship.

The Right To Carry Act, co-authored by state Sen. David Craig, R-Town of Vernon, and state Rep. Mary Felzkowski (formerly Mary Czaja) R-Irma, “simplifies state law while reducing the cost to citizens who chose to protect themselves and their families,” according to a co-sponsorship memo sent out Tuesday morning.

“The current license structure limits those who follow the law and presents administrative and cost barriers to self-protection,” the memo states. “With this bill, we make carrying more affordable and provide greater freedom for those who obey the law while maintaining stiff penalties for criminals who commit crimes with firearms.”

Wisconsin would become at least the 15th state to adopt a “constitutional carry” law, should the Republican-controlled Legislature pass the measure and Republican Gov. Scott Walker sign it.

Wisconsin became the 49th concealed carry state in 2011 when Walker signed Act 35.

More than five years later, the Badger State has issued more than 300,000 concealed carry licenses, making the “clear case to move Wisconsin forward and expand state law to reflect the constitutional right to carry a weapon in self-defense,” Craig and Felzkowski assert in the legislative memo.

Current law requires concealed carry permits, issued by the state Department of Justice, unless the firearm owner possesses an identification card showing he is a “qualified” current or former law enforcement officer.

The Right to Carry Act eliminates the state gun free school zones law but allows schools to post notice that possession of firearms in schools or on school grounds is prohibited under state trespass law. Violators could be charged with a Class C misdemeanor. The prohibitions generally would not apply to a firearm kept in a vehicle.

Concealed carry license holders are not subject to the federal gun free school zones law at Wisconsin schools. The expanded bill would create a new Wisconsin concealed carry license requiring a background check on the applicant but doesn’t mandate a complete training course.

“A person who obtains one of the new ‘basic’ concealed carry licenses would also not be subject to the federal gun free zones law” at Wisconsin schools, according to a memo by the Wisconsin Legislative Council.

Police stations, jailhouses, mental health facilities and other specified buildings in the bill could post notices prohibiting firearms on their grounds. Otherwise, there would be no firearms ban at such buildings.

The legislation would not change laws on gun-free zones on college campuses, although other proposed legislation would allow law-abiding citizens to arm themselves at institutions of higher education.

The bill also would eliminate the current prohibition on Tasers and other electric weapons, with the exception of individuals prevented from possessing a firearm.

And the proposal would allow individuals to carry a firearm or bow while operating an all-terrain vehicle or to carry such weapons into a wildlife refuge.

Opponents decried the bill as “extreme.”

“Democrats and Republicans have been long opposed to allowing guns on school grounds, yet this bill changes that safety presumption. Additionally, the authors have some explaining to do as to why they reduce the penalty from a felony to a misdemeanor for illegally carrying in a school zone. This is a serious legal breach that should be treated as such,” Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said in a press release.

Craig and Felzkowski note the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and further enumerated in Wisconsin’s constitution granting the “right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.”

“It is with this constitutional provision in mind that we reaffirm the rights and liberties of law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon without a license,” the lawmakers state in the memo.

North Dakota last week became the 14th state to legalize permitless gun carry, following New Hampshire in February. North Dakota’s law allows anyone at least 21 who can legally possess a firearm to carry it concealed without having to obtain a permit beforehand.

“It does require that anyone legally carrying a firearm also carry a valid ID and inform police that they are carrying if they are stopped,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.

South Dakota’s Republican governor earlier this month vetoed bills aimed at loosening restrictions on carrying concealed weapons. Montana’s governor, a Democrat, earlier this year killed a constitutional carry bill.

Previous reciprocity bills in Congress died in committee, but permitless advocates see hope for a federal “constitutional carry” law under a GOP-controlled House and Senate and a president who is seen as a gun-rights ally.

Concealed carry license holders are not subject to the federal gun free school zones law at Wisconsin schools. The expanded bill would create a new Wisconsin concealed carry license requiring a background check on the applicant but doesn’t mandate a complete training course.

“A person who obtains one of the new ‘basic’ concealed carry licenses would also not be subject to the federal gun free zones law” at Wisconsin schools, according to a memo by the Wisconsin Legislative Council.

Police stations, jailhouses, mental health facilities and other specified buildings in the bill could post notices prohibiting firearms on their grounds. Otherwise, there would be no firearms ban at such buildings.

The legislation would not change laws on gun-free zones on college campuses, although other proposed legislation would allow law-abiding citizens to arm themselves at institutions of higher education.

The bill also would eliminate the current prohibition on Tasers and other electric weapons, with the exception of individuals prevented from possessing a firearm.

And the proposal would allow individuals to carry a firearm or bow while operating an all-terrain vehicle or to carry such weapons into a wildlife refuge.

Opponents decried the bill as “extreme.”

“Democrats and Republicans have been long opposed to allowing guns on school grounds, yet this bill changes that safety presumption. Additionally, the authors have some explaining to do as to why they reduce the penalty from a felony to a misdemeanor for illegally carrying in a school zone. This is a serious legal breach that should be treated as such,” Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said in a press release.

Craig and Felzkowski note the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and further enumerated in Wisconsin’s constitution granting the “right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.”

“It is with this constitutional provision in mind that we reaffirm the rights and liberties of law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon without a license,” the lawmakers state in the memo.

North Dakota last week became the 14th state to legalize permitless gun carry, following New Hampshire in February. North Dakota’s law allows anyone at least 21 who can legally possess a firearm to carry it concealed without having to obtain a permit beforehand.

“It does require that anyone legally carrying a firearm also carry a valid ID and inform police that they are carrying if they are stopped,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.

South Dakota’s Republican governor earlier this month vetoed bills aimed at loosening restrictions on carrying concealed weapons. Montana’s governor, a Democrat, earlier this year killed a constitutional carry bill.

Previous reciprocity bills in Congress died in committee, but permitless advocates see hope for a federal “constitutional carry” law under a GOP-controlled House and Senate and a president who is seen as a gun-rights ally.
