Recounting of Wisconsin Judge Races Promotes Vote Challenges

A widely viewed recount is underway as a result of the election of a circuit judge in Racine County, Wisconsin.

Incumbent Circuit Judge John Fredrickson was defeated by challenger Jamie McClendon by 55 votes. Voters cast 60,349 votes for the office.

Fredrickson, who has been with the Post since 2019, requested a recount.

McClendon is a former public defense counsel and a local lawyer for private practices.

In Wisconsin, if the margin of victory is within 2% points, the taxpayer will pay a recount.

Racine County resident Jim Spodick is a politically independent and election integrity activist, with an honest, open and transparent government (Hot government) in court as an informal observer on April 14th, the first day of the recount.

According to Spodick, there were no local, state or national GOP representatives to fight for the benefit of conservative judge Fredrickson.

“I’ve noticed that there is a clear flaw in the absentee ballot envelopes that are sufficient to disqualify that ballot under Wisconsin law,” he said.

“These were not properly challenged by the people of McClendon due to a lack of Fredrickson observers literally more than nine to one. Such imbalances are incorrect.”

Spodick then went to social media to summon a group of hot government members in Racine County.

Racine County Republicans and Racine County Clerk Wendy Christensen is a Republican and did not respond to requests for comment on publication times.

Spodick said his group had contacted Election Observation, an election loyal watchdog organization that purchased the entire Racine County voter role and began analyzing mistakes and irregularities.

The records show unqualified voters, the group claims.

Election watchdog claimed there were 823 inconsistencies after being cross-checked on April 15, 2025.

The inconsistencies included 40 individuals who moved to Wisconsin County several years ago to another Wisconsin County, but were recorded as votes on April 1, 2025.

Election watchdog allegedly, another 11 people who voted in Racine County had moved from Wisconsin well before the election.

More than 250 registered voters in Racine County were found by the U.S. Post Office to date that they had not received mail at registered addresses for at least 90 days, according to election monitoring.

According to the group, they all voted from these speeches in the April 1 election.

Election monitoring spokesman Peter Bernegar told the Epoch Times that 51 individuals who voted in the April 1 election in Racine County had previously registered to vote from the county’s main physical residence, and “at some point they created a post office box to make their main residence.”

Wisconsin law allows an individual to list a PO box as a secondary residence, but the person must register to vote from the primary physical location where he or she is sleeping.

“This kind of thing isn’t usually the fault of the local clerk. The statewide system that keeps bloated and inaccurate voter registration roles is wrong,” Spodick said.

If the results of the recount do not change the results of the election, Fredrickson has the right to appeal in court.

Fredrickson and McClendon did not respond to requests for comment at each publication time.

“Based on the role of dirty voters, the courts were able to order a re-start of elections,” Bernegger said.

“Fredrickson isn’t going to stay in the office.”

Navy veteran and hot government activist Sandra Morris personally submitted many assignments related to the recount, telling the Epoch Times:

“We need a fair and legal election in which only eligible voters participate.

“Given all the challenges supported by official government data, I think there should be a redo of the April 1 election in Racine County.

“That’s good for all candidates and all eligible voters,” Morris said.

“Without a fair election, we are not free.”
