Meanwhile, Witzel-Behl&rsquo;s office recently sent out more than 2,200 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/26\/wisconsin-congressman-wants-answers-on-madisons-2200-duplicate-ballots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">duplicate ballots<\/a> to residents last month.<\/p>\n<h2>&lsquo;Misinformation&rsquo; Training<\/h2>\n<p>Witzel-Behl &ldquo;previously participated in [the group&rsquo;s] Combating Election Misinformation training,&rdquo; according to a June 11 email from Andrea Abbate, a CTCL associate director and communications manager. Sophie Lehman, a CTCL associate director, also sent the clerk an email on July 10 promoting an upcoming webinar on &ldquo;Combating Election Misinformation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The webinar was advertised in another email sent to Witzel-Behl on July 17 as a &ldquo;quicker, live version of a longer, self-paced course that was co-developed by the Center for Democracy and Technology&rdquo; (CDT), a left-wing group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/center-for-democracy-and-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">funded<\/a> by Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and TikTok, according to InfluenceWatch.

He described this so-called &ldquo;professional development opportunit[y]&rdquo; as a &ldquo;monthly, virtual meeting where election officials can come together for an hour to support one another and discuss questions, concerns, ideas, and solutions related to election misinformation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Witzel-Behl apparently registered to participate in the &ldquo;misinformation community of practice,&rdquo; as Franco sent her a follow-up email on July 29 confirming she had &ldquo;been accepted to join.&rdquo; He noted Witzel-Behl would receive meeting invites &ldquo;for each of the monthly sessions.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A follow-up email from CTCL Technology Project Manager Nadya Naumann to Witzel-Behl summarized the first session. Participants had discussed &ldquo;misinformation, and how it impacts the communities our participants work with,&rdquo; the email indicated, and participants were encouraged to &ldquo;[c]ontinue to write out goals for addressing misinformation in 2024 and share them with each other or &hellip; coworkers for feedback&rdquo; before the next meeting.<\/p>\n<p>In the email, Naumann also encouraged &ldquo;writ[ing] out goals for addressing misinformation in 2024&rdquo; and &ldquo;identify[ing] potential projects using the Combatting Election Misinformation Checklist.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>A &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/electionexcellence.org\/resources\/checklist-for-combating-election-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">checklist for combating election misinformation<\/a>&rdquo; by CTCL and the aforementioned Center for Democracy and Technology, available on the Alliance for Election Excellence website, offers strategies to election officials on &ldquo;getting ahead of information operations.&rdquo; It also offers guidance for &ldquo;responding to influence operations,&rdquo; including the call to &ldquo;reframe&rdquo; so-called &ldquo;malinformation&rdquo; &mdash; which the checklist defines as &ldquo;true but disruptive information.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Witzel-Behl also attended a July &ldquo;Alliance call,&rdquo; and received emails promoting the calls, which took place on a monthly basis.

The group invoiced the City of Madison $4,800 in May, citing &ldquo;membership dues&rdquo; for the alliance.<\/p>\n<p>CTCL sent an email to Witzel-Behl and apparently other election officials Jan. 2, offering to schedule meetings for them to lobby legislators for more election funding. &ldquo;We would love to help you build a relationship with your lawmakers, so you can advocate for the resources you need to run excellent elections,&rdquo; it reads. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re an election official planning to be in DC next week, we can support you in requesting and scheduling meetings with your Congressional Delegations &hellip;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>CTCL Senior Campaign Manager Colline Miller emailed Witzel-Behl on Feb. 14, indicating the group was pushing to increase federal security grants for election offices under the Help America Vote Act. She called on local election officials to either use CTCL&rsquo;s &ldquo;template language&rdquo; or add their &ldquo;own personal flair&rdquo; when sending requests to legislators.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[W]e need a strong showing from local election officials stating why this funding would make a difference to them,&rdquo; Miller wrote. &ldquo;Can we count on you to send a request to your Senators and Representatives?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Leftist Election Meddlers<\/h2>\n<p>CTCL&rsquo;s Alliance for Election Excellence connects notorious left-wing groups with election officials.<\/p>\n<p>CTCL itself is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/center-for-tech-and-civic-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">funded<\/a> by leftist donors like Arabella Advisors&rsquo; New Venture Fund, Democracy Fund, the Knight Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, according to InfluenceWatch.<\/p>\n<p>When CTCL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techandciviclife.org\/us-alliance-for-election-excellence-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched<\/a> the Alliance in 2022, it brought together &ldquo;launch partners&rdquo; including the left-leaning Center for Civic Design (CCD), which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/center-for-civic-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partnered<\/a> with CTCL and the National Vote at Home Institute (NVHI) to offer webinars on &ldquo;vote-by-mail implementation,&rdquo; according to InfluenceWatch.
