Peter Bernegger, president of Election Watch in Wisconsin, was arrested last week after filing complaints against officials and candidates he exposed for accepting donations allegedly facilitated by progressive activists in the names of people who were unaware of them. He was charged with a felony, simulating a legal process.
Bernegger posted on X after posting bail and being released, “This is politically motivated where they are trying to shut me up, to shut us all up. For those who don’t know, this is the second time they have come after me; the first time was dismissed in 15 minutes when the judge learned the truth of the matter.”
In the previous case, Bernegger (pictured above) was accused of harassing Meagan Wolfe, administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. No charges were brought against him, however, “because there was zero evidence of any harassing,” he told The Arizona Sun Times. “The truth is they wanted me to stop posting about Meagan Wolfe’s failures.”
The arrest came shortly after he filed six complaints against Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, which were accepted by the Wisconsin Ethics Commission, along with complaints against numerous other Democratic officials and candidates.
