Wisconsin clerk who failed to count almost 200 ballots is suspended

[Fiorillo]

8. I worked in that office.

I was a licensing clerk in that office, in 2007, and had a rather nasty exit thanks to Ms. Maribeth. She didn't appreciate it when I pointed out the voter caging operation she was spearheading, trying to disenfranchise voters if they didn't return a registration card. As I was in the process of a lateral transfer, changing jobs without bumping someone out of theirs, when she attempted to get me fired for not informing her I was leaving early on a Friday. She mentioned my "election integrity advocacy" as a problem during my tenure at the clerks office.

At the "hearing", she testified I had never contacted her, though later proven wrong by her own answering machine. I was told I would be fired, if proven a liar. In the end, she was never admonished for lying in the hearing, and I retained my job with the City of Madison, though in a different division after my lateral transfer.

I eventually retired from my City of Madison job in 2012, so I could pursue genealogy research across the country. Still going strong!
