Here is the latest news from the Think of Fox campaign.
Of course, Robin Vos is the highly controversial anti-Trump Speaker of Wisconsin, who approved the ballot boxes in Wisconsin.
The Recall Vos people
In our commitment to transparency and integrity, Think of Fox wants to address concerns surrounding the petition collection process.
First, it is important to note that the current recall process in Wisconsin relies on the honesty of all participants. There is no obligation to request or confirm identification of individuals signing the petition.
Furthermore, the 'Circulator', who signs at the bottom of the petition page, only verifies that 'a person' has indeed signed the petition. Because there is no requirement for identity verification, the Circulator cannot be sure that the signer is truthful.
So they are only confirming that they witnessed the signing of the petition, without any guarantee of the honesty of the signer on the form. Our campaign recognized this significant weakness in the recall process and took proactive steps to mitigate this vulnerability.
Throughout the campaign, we have sought to identify and segregate dubious petition sheets, such as those suspected of forgery or fraud. Despite our efforts, a small portion of these sheets were inadvertently mixed with the nearly 11,000 valid signatures submitted.
It is critical to highlight that hundreds of signatures were proactively withheld and never submitted due to suspicions of fraud. This highlights our good faith efforts to eliminate suspicious signatures.
In late February 2024, our campaign observed suspicious activity between February 27 and March 2, with several individuals from across the country suddenly appearing in Burlington, WI, and attempting to infiltrate the campaign.
All six individuals attempted to insert fraudulent signatures. These actions were immediately noticed by our team. Remarkably, these individuals independently flew from different parts of the country (New York, Florida, Ohio) to assist with the recall.
They sought compensation but left the state without any compensation. Their involvement ended abruptly after the submission of the questionable signatures. This behavior, combined with their unverified rural origins and submission of inauthentic signatures, raised major concerns.
Despite the challenges posed by the self-authentication process of the Wisconsin petition process, Recall Vos implemented verification measures that went beyond legal requirements.
When confronted with approximately 400 (approximately 40 pages) of suspiciously pristine signatures, our volunteers took the extra step of conducting thorough in-person verifications at more than 15 homes.
As expected, we were unable to verify any of the signatures, leading us to consider them potentially fraudulent; thus, they are not included in our submission to the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
The individuals identified as sources of these fraudulent signatures, including Carlo Green, Jade Hilton, Jason Lopez, Lavelle Hester-Bey, Kiara Rivera, and Xavier Pittman, were excluded from our petition efforts.
Unfortunately, some sheets with questionable signatures were accidentally included in the final submission by a volunteer, a matter that we deeply regret.
Recall Vos adheres to the principle of election security and integrity. We call for strict legal action against anyone involved in falsifying documents and undermining public confidence in electoral processes.
Our proactive stance against potential fraud demonstrates our continued commitment to maintaining the highest standards of legitimacy and transparency in the Recall Vos campaign.
Our internal investigation into the forged signatures has led us to identify several individuals who acted on their own in an apparently organized effort to inject fraudulent signatures into the Recall Vos campaign. We pass on all information we have about these individuals.
Background: In addition to the numerous volunteers from Wisconsin, RECALL VOS has hired three U.S. companies to enhance its signature gathering activity. Only one is relevant to this issue. (NOTE: All three companies were based in the US and agreed/contracted to follow Wisconsin laws regarding election recalls.
The first company, “4ward Canvassing LLC” (POC: Missy Ward, phone: 719-896-1536), was hired on February 2 and fired on February 11, 2024 due to poor performance.
The second company, “Trailblazing Canvassers” (POC: Mr. Edward Blaszak, phone: 503-481-9052), was hired on February 12 and fired on February 28, 2024. The third company was “Wool Canvassing” (POC: Mr. . Greg Wool, phone: 201-452-4923), which collected signatures from March 1 to 10 only.
The company involved in this topic is Trailblazing Canvassers. We were dissatisfied with their performance/lack of management etc., which led to their dismissal on February 28, 2024.
(Important note: All of these companies use “Independent Contractors” (ICs), so none are employees.) After we fired Trailblazing Canvassers, we offered to pay some of their top ICs to keep going with collecting valid signatures, provided they had submitted a W9 tax form. . Some of the Trailblazing crew stayed and wanted to continue collecting signatures.
We agreed to continue paying them as ICs if they provided the required number of verifiable signatures. Recall Vos was assured by the CEO of Trailblazing Canvassers (Edward Blaszak) that all ICs were American citizens.
(NOTE: After news reports suggested that the RECALL Vos campaign was using illegal workers from Ukraine to collect signatures, we asked the three individuals in question to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which they promptly did, refuting the news reports.
The best explanation we have is that some sort of 'disruptive operation' was carried out against the RECALL Vos campaign. The first approach occurred on February 26, 2024, when Mr. Lavelle Hester-Bey and Jason Lopez approached Mr. Litvin while he was collecting signatures at the Burlington Post Office. Suddenly they offered to help him collect signatures.
Needing help, Litvin quickly agreed to let them join his team, and Litvin even had them fill out W9 forms. (NOTE: Remember that Vos had nothing to do with Litvin's activities to get more people into this team.)
Mr. Litvin explained the petition process to them and they started collecting signatures. Then, two days later, out of the blue, Mr. Litvin was approached by Mr. Curtis Peterson, who offered to collect signatures and enlist three other people to help.
This is where Xavier Pittman, Carlo Green and Jade Hilton came into the picture. They collected signatures on February 29 and March 1 and 2.
Then they all abruptly left due to personal problems, car issues, etc., without even getting paid. Only Mr. Peterson was paid $300 for what appeared to be thirty valid signatures. None of the others were paid by the Recall Vos campaign.
After reviewing their petition sheets, it was suspected that Mr. Green and Ms. Hilton had forged names. A few days later, about 400 signatures were mailed to Mr. Litvin by a woman named Kiara Rivera, who claimed she collected the signatures on February 27 and 28, but had to leave WI because her brother had been shot. She asked for payment for the 400 signatures.
Although the signatures appeared authentic, her story was not credible and the documents were too pristine to have been handled by many people.
Although we suspected the signatures were fraudulent, we took the extra step of physically visiting at least ten to fifteen homes listed in the petition to verify that they had signed. After our investigation, we determined that none of the signatures were valid. That's why we withheld the names and never submitted them.
What's interesting is that all of the fraudulent signatures came from six out-of-state individuals. Who paid for their flights? Who paid for their shelter, food and miscellaneous expenses? How did they know to approach Mr. Litvin?
They all apparently arrived within a five-day period and left without being paid. They all collected signatures and pressured Mr. Litvin for immediate payment. All found reasons to quickly leave the area without any compensation.
When we interviewed Mr. Litvin, he cooperated with us and immediately shared documents he had collected on these individuals: (NOTE: See attached photos).
1. Kiara Rivera, Female, Florida DL. (NOTE: she said Jason Lopez was her ex-boyfriend). She tried to submit four hundred fraudulent signatures.
2. Jason Lopez, male, Ohio Some ID. His W9 shows the same address as Ms. Rivera above, from Litvin.
3. Lavelle Hester-Bey, male, New York ID, information from Litvin.
4. Carlo Green, male, W9 form from Litvin
5. Jade Hilton, female, W9 form from Litvin.
6. Xavier T. Pittman, W9 form from Litvin.
