DECLARATION OF MUAWIA ALBANAWEH

148736608.1

DECLARATION OF MUAWIA ALBANAWEH

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I hereby declare as follows:

1. My name is Muawia Albawaneh. I am over eighteen years of age and competent

to testify to the matters contained herein.

2. I am a resident of Milwaukee in Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, and my

residence address is

3. I ordered an absentee ballot through the website on April 1st. The ballot had not

arrived by election day so I called the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Voter Protection Hotline

and was advised my only option was to vote in person. I drove to the polling station late that

afternoon after I got home from work, but decided not to get in line to vote. I saw many people

without a face mask. The line was very long and many people were standing too close together.

4. I requested an absentee ballot for the first time because I work everyday in

construction. I really need this job to support my family and I cannot afford to get sick or to take

time off, even for something as important as voting. I feel that the problems with the absentee

ballots took away my right to vote. My ballot arrived on April 8th!

5. I give this Declaration freely, without coercion, and without any expectation of

compensation or other reward.

6. I understand that in giving this Declaration, I am not represented by a lawyer.

Neither has any lawyer asked me to be their client or to serve in any way as anything other than a

witness in this lawsuit.

7. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on ____________________.
