Mayor Johnson Defends Milwaukee’s Election Integrity | Milwaukee News

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson is firing back against election fraud claims, calling poll workers patriots and slamming VP JD Vance for casting doubt on Milwaukee’s voting system—calling his remarks “wild” and “intimidating.” Johnson declined Vance’s invitation to tour election facilities, comparing the lack of evidence in election fraud to a child admitting to cookie theft. He also condemned Trump-era immigration enforcement tactics as terrifying and inappropriate, while supporting deportations for violent felons but questioning federal motives in other cases. Johnson backed a bill to speed up absentee ballot processing and expressed hope for Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley to become governor, pledging to work with whomever it takes to protect Milwaukee’s election integrity.
