GREEN BAY - City officials had all-hands on deck as they managed last year s elections but didn t do anything to distort the integrity of the process, according to a new report from the city attorney.
Attorney Vanessa Chavez reviewed the August and November elections amid allegations from Republican lawmakers that Green Bay s use of grant money and private consultants tainted the process. Former City Clerk Kris Teske resigned in December after clashing for months with the mayor s office, which she accused of taking over election planning.
A group of Green Bay residents filed a complaint to the Wisconsin Elections Commission earlier this month claiming that the Center for Tech and Civic Life illegally dictated how Green Bay ran its election when it provided the city with $1.6 million to facilitate voting during the coronavirus pandemic. The nonprofit distributed grants to over 200 municipalities across Wisconsin.
