Dan O'DonnellHOST
I would go with our longtime friend here in Wisconsin, Anna Kelly.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
Uh, she was with the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Dan O'DonnellHOST
She was with, uh, boy, I think she was with the Tom Tiffany, uh, congressional campaign for many, many...
Dan O'DonnellHOST
I've known Anna for a long, long time.
Vicki McKennaHOST
So we have got a lot of things to get excited about going into this upcoming election.
Vicki McKennaHOST
Brian Schimming, the chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, joins me on the program.
Vicki McKennaHOST
Can we start with really pretty remarkable news, Brian, about Dane County absentee ballot requests? Tell me what you learned.
Brian SchimmingGUEST
Last week, a story in Madison, voters had requested 29.3% fewer absentee ballots as of last Monday's update from the Election Commission.
Brian SchimmingGUEST
Yeah.
Brian SchimmingGUEST
No, you look at the money we've, we're, w- the Republican Party of Wisconsin, we're literally having our best year ever by the f- by a fact- not a factor, by about $20 million right now.
Brian SchimmingGUEST
The t- the, uh, Tiffany campaign raising all sorts of money.
Brian SchimmingGUEST
We've sent a lot of money over there.
Rich KramerPANELIST
The other transfers were coming from, like, unions or political action committees.
Rich KramerPANELIST
Tiffany had $24 million in transfers from the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Rich KramerPANELIST
OK,
Sean JohnsonPANELIST
and let's break that down a little bit more.
Sean JohnsonPANELIST
The Republican Party of Wisconsin, I thought, had been struggling with fundraising.
Sean JohnsonPANELIST
Where is it getting all this money?
Rich KramerPANELIST
So the Republican Party posted some good figures on its own, aside from the transfer, and 93% of their money in this reporting period came from three people.
Rich KramerPANELIST
Richard and Elizabeth Uline, they gave a combined $22 million.
Pat KreitlowPANELIST
So there is very real concern.
Pat KreitlowPANELIST
And there was that story that CNN had about the Republican Party of Wisconsin training election observers not to be above board observers, but to actually teach them ways that could lead to interference by making claims that something's not working right on election day.
Pat KreitlowPANELIST
And again, It sounds alarmist, but I'd rather be sounding the alarm about what we might see than to be surprised on Election Day.
Kate DuffyHOST
Yeah, there's genuine concerns, but there's also really smart people and groups that have really good plans in place.
Rich KremerPANELIST
The other transfers were coming from, like, unions or political action committees.

Tiffany had $24 million in transfers from the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Shawn JohnsonHOST

Rich KremerPANELIST
Richard and Elizabeth Uline, they gave a combined $22 million.
Rich KremerPANELIST
Those are the billionaire owners of Uline, the manufacturing supply company.
J.R. RossGUEST
But I'm looking at ad buys on a daily basis, and I can see the disparity between what Tiffany is spending and what Crowley is spending.
J.R. RossGUEST
That tells me the Democratic Party of Wisconsin is not... as much of a helpful partner in this arrangement, allowing these unlimited donations to parties and limited transfers to candidates as the Republican Party of Wisconsin is for Tom Tiffany.
J.R. RossGUEST
Now, there are a number of reasons for that.
J.R. RossGUEST
One of them is the map is getting bigger for Democrats.
Telly HughesHOST
I said it doesn't work that way.
Julia FelloHOST
Of the approximately $15.6 million, she writes, of Tiffany reporting to have recent finance reports filed as of August, more than $10 million came from the Republican Party of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans.
Julia FelloHOST
And the vast majority of that money brought in by the party, more than... 90% has come from billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uline and Diane Hendricks, according to finance reports.
Julia FelloHOST
By the way, Who cares? That's slanted news? That's liberal activism? A liberal activist? Are you okay?
