It is a propaganda website created specifically for the election using naming that makes it sound like a local paper. They leverage social media advertising to drive traffic to misleading stories in an attempt to influence the election.

Can you prove the story isn't true or do you just not like Metric Media because they are a conservative source?

Looks like the story is debunked.
No, the claim in question wasn’t that the whole state had more votes than registered voters, it was that certain precincts did. The last article posted doesn’t address that point.
Yeah, the numbers are completely made up BS. This has happened over and over with these sites that pretend to be local news sites but are really part of a large disinformation network. They have no named reporters, they print no retractions, it will just disappear from the internet when its job is done.
All of these sites were created from thin air in the summer of 2019 using names that sound like local papers, and are a method to spread legit sounding lies because people glance at the name and assume it is a local paper.
Let’s take a look at the numbers :
Go to here -
https://county.milwaukee.gov/EN/County-C...-Fall-2020
Then scroll down to federal and hit expand by ward. The first one listed in the fake news site is ward 274 with 202% turn out and 688 Biden votes. Funny enough, when we look at the official county website it shows 296 Biden votes for ward 274.
Let’s try another. Ward 273. The fake news sites lists ward 273 with 634 Biden votes, the official county website lists 313.
The numbers in the “Milwaukee City Wire” article are completely made up.
Trump started the phrase “fake news”. This is quite literally fake news. It is systematic disinformation being used to spread doubt about the validity of the voting process. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, this should piss you off because this is an attack on our democracy.
The sad thing is it may work. Long after that “article” has been deleted all someone will remember is that they clicked on a link on Facebook that opened up a “local paper” and they saw evidence of mail in voter fraud.
