Wisconsin Supervisor’s Voting Residency Scandal | Milwaukee News

A Wisconsin Republican supervisor, Michele Skinner, is facing a political firestorm after voting in both Wisconsin and Georgia within months—raising serious questions about her residency and eligibility. Skinner, a former TV reporter turned recruiter, voted in Wisconsin in 2020, then registered and voted in Georgia just 15 days later during their critical Senate runoff. She later voted again in Wisconsin in 2022, but Wisconsin law bars voters from doing so if they’ve permanently moved elsewhere without re-establishing residency. Complicating matters, tax records show she claimed Wisconsin’s lottery tax credit for her home in Altoona while simultaneously claiming senior homestead exemptions in Georgia—illegal under state law, potentially leading to criminal charges. Democrats are calling her disqualifiable, arguing Republicans would be outraged if a Democrat did the same, while Skinner’s campaign dismisses the claims as political smears and focuses on lowering costs and property taxes for Chippewa Valley residents. The controversy is heating up as control of the state Senate hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
