Wisconsin GAB looking into Donald Trump's visit to Waukesha polling place

"Waukesha City Clerk Treasurer Gina Kozlik also did not immediately return a telephone call.

A firefighter who answered the phone at the station said he could not talk about the arrival of Trump's motorcade.

"They're swamped over there," the man, who would not give his name, said of election officials.

A Trump supporter who goes by @queeneliza0907 on Twitter was present for the candidate's Waukesha visit and tweeted videos showing him mingling with other supporters outside the fire station."

Trump thought he was being Slick

Election laws just seem to be suggestions this year. But, I'm not surprised that Trump thinks that he can get away with it. He sees himself above reproach and if others can do it, who is to stop the Trump?

"A supporter of Donald Trump posted a video of the candidate greeting voters outside Waukesha Fire Station #5, a polling place, shortly before noon Tuesday.

Wisconsin law prohibits election activities such as holding campaign signs or distributing leaflets within 100 feet of a polling place, according to Michael Haas, elections administrator for the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.

Hass confirmed that he had been told by the clerk for the City of Waukesha that Trump had entered a polling place. GAB officials were looking into the matter and contacting the Trump campaign to make it aware of the state rule, he said. A spokeswoman for the campaign did not answer her cellphone and did not immediately return a telephone call."
