Email from Ron Heuer, President of Wisconsin Voters Alliance – March 22, 2024

We had received notification in January that the City of Madison had received $500,000 of the total $1,500,000 of the CTCL grant on December 27^th and at that time in January, none of the money had been spent.

Here is an update on the City of Madison’s $1.5M grant they received from CTCL. As of March 22, 2024:

Current Disposition

City of Madison Wisconsin – U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence CTCL $1.5M Grant.

We had received notification in January that the City of Madison had received $500,000 of the total $1,500,000 of the CTCL grant on December 27^th and at that time in January, none of the money had been spent.

Today, I received an update from the City of Madison accounting department that, indeed, they had received the balance of $1,000,000 on December 28. So, the City of Madison has received the entire $1,500,000.

In addition, I learned that in a Jan 18, 2024 City Council meeting, $279,608 had been allocated in Resolution 24-00068 for the purchase of Election Security carts, the company being EZ Carts. I have also attached a PDF that was used during that meeting describing the EZ Cart product. To authorize the noncompetitive purchase of goods from Printelect as a sole source provider of election security carts for the City Clerk’s Office. Sponsors: Jael Currie, John W. Duncan, Derek Field, Sabrina V. Madison and Michael E. Verveer.

A second resolution was passed on Jan 18th allocating $1,040,720 for the purchase of an end to end absentee ballot system. 

Authorizing the payment of goods from DMT Solutions Global Corporation dba Bluecrest on a cooperative contract of an automated absentee ballot mailing system for the City Clerk’s Office prior to the delivery of all goods.

In summation, $1,320,328 of the $1.5M has been allocated to be spent, leaving a balance of $179,672 to yet be allocated or spent.
