‘Deceptive’: Election-integrity team warns Democrat running for state Supreme Court to quit lying
A Democrat judge who is candidate in the coming Wisconsin Supreme Court election has been warned to quit lying about her Republican opponent because those claims violate the state’s judicial code of conduct.
Fair Elections Wisconsin dispatched to Susan Crawford, a Dane County Circuit judge running for the state’s highest court, a cease-and-desist letter, but she was refused to respond and continues with the statements, according to a report at Just the News.
She’s trying to defeat Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel, who is backed by Republicans.
FEW President Justin Gavery said he hasn’t had a response to the March 7 letter.
And, he said, Crawford is continuing with the false statements.
Lying about opponents is a tactic that has been used before by Democrat politicians. Hillary Clinton wildly claimed, through her campaign affiliates, that Donald Trump was colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign, which she lost, a charge that was completely bogus.
FEW, an election integrity organization, warned Crawford, “Judicial candidates, including incumbents and challengers, must refrain from making false, misleading, or deceptive statements.”
He added that a judicial conduct court rule in the state, “explicitly prohibits judicial candidates from knowingly misrepresenting any fact concerning themselves, their opponents, or matters relevant to the campaign. Any deviation from this standard not only undermines the credibility of the judiciary but also erodes public trust in the court’s ability to administer fair and impartial justice.”
The letter charges Crawford with lying about Schimel’s record as attorney general, for “ignoring rape cases…”
But the letter said that claim is false: “The facts appear to be that for decades many rape kits were stored and not tested. When Brad Schimel became Attorney General in early 2015, he inherited about 6000 kits that had not been tested. By the end of Schimel’s term in office, every kit that needed to be tested was tested, and a process was put in place to ensure that testing of kits would continue in the future to prevent a backlog,” Gavery told Crawford.
The election is significant on a national level because a Crawford win would give the high court a 4-3 liberal imbalance, and Democrats have said they would use that majority to re-align congressional districts to give more seats to their own party.
Gavery also charged that Crawford “advertised that Schimel supports the 1849 Abortion Law. This statement is false.”

In fact, Schimel has suggested any abortion law should be decided by public referendum or legislative action.
Then Gavery also charges Crawford claims Schimel supports voter suppression, another inaccuracy.
THIS IS INSANE: If the liberal wins in Wisconsin next Tuesday, she will REMOVE 2 GOP Congressional districts.

“Please stop and desist from any further contact with others, public or private, until you have reviewed the above matters and you can verify that they are truthful statements. The people of Wisconsin deserve nothing less,” the letter tells Crawford.
Wisconsin election law attorney Dan Eastman told Restoration News, “Judges should be above reproach and inspire confidence, not disillusionment. Someone like Crawford should not be campaigning on false facts when they are running to be a supreme court justice, and that’s what’s happening here.”
Crawford’s campaign has been supported financially by a long list of extreme left billionaires.
