Dear Friends,
I just sent the letter below to our State Attorney General and my local sheriff. Feel free to copy and paste. He needs to be bombarded.

Subject: ATTN: Wayne Bena confesses to breaking the law
Dear Attorney General of, by and for the People of the State of Nebraska—
The purpose of the political subdivision we call a "county" is to decentralize power and enable local self-government through our own elections.
Nebraska law requires the cost of elections to be “an apportioned county expense” (or lower):
NRS 32-1201.
Costs of election; payment; county expense.
The county board shall draw warrants in payment of all bills submitted by the election commissioner or county clerk related to the cost of any election conducted by the office of the election commissioner or county clerk. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) of section 32-1203, the initial payment for bills submitted to the election commissioner or county clerk for the cost of preparing for and conducting elections shall be a county expense. The compensation of the election commissioner or county clerk, the deputy election commissioner or deputy county clerk for elections, and all permanent employees of the election commissioner or county clerk, the expenditures for the rental, furnishing, and equipping of the office of the election commissioner or county clerk, the expenditures for necessary office supplies, books, documents, and appurtenances relating to or used in performing the duties of the election commissioner or county clerk in relation to elections, and the cost of elections for county, state, and federal governments shall be an apportioned county expense and shall not be chargeable to other political subdivisions.
County payment for county elections infers county ownership.
Please read below as Wayne Bena, who has never taken an oath for his current position, confesses to breaking the above law (this confession was made before the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners on July 18, 2023). The audio/video link is below.
My name is Wayne Bena. I serve as deputy secretary of state for elections. I run the election division for the state of Nebraska and I've been in this position since September of 2017. Prior to that I served as Sarpy County election commissioner since 2010. And why I talk about that portion of my career is that I come from the county perspective. I'm not from the state. I'm here to help. I was picked from the counties. From that aspect, since I do come from the counties, I understand and respect the position that County election officials and boards are with resources and the things that they need to do to carry out their tasks and the dreaded unfunded mandate is something that I took with me when I came to the state of Nebraska. I was very happy as the Sarpy County election commissioner, and I probably would still be there right now if it hadn't been for my predecessor retiring and my belief that if someone from the county did not step up it would be years before new election equipment could be purchased for the state because our previous equipment was ending their life cycle. So I stepped up, took on that job and was able to procure new election equipment for all 93 counties at NOT county taxpayer costs. Between state and federal funds I was able to do all of that and even here in Lancaster County that had purchased a new machine previous, I overtook the maintenance of that machine. They took the risk. I told them, you know, if we ended up with new equipment, I wouldn't be able to do that but I was able to do that. So that's the perspective I bring coming to this. One of the things I took great pride in was that we purchased that equipment, delivered that equipment, and trained on that equipment by March 1st 2020.

We the People are NOT happy about this.
Wayne Bena is a usurper, of the worst kind. He has usurped absolute control over our county elections.
State centralization, privatization and secretization of all our county elections is an outright denial of the People's right to self-government.
Centralized, privatized, secretized vote-counts facilitate taxation without true representation.
Taxation without true representation is a crime...and the subversion of our Constitutional government.
Nothing is more important to our Constitutional Republic and system of self-government than ensuring (and insuring) the integrity and validity of our elections through transparent vote-counts.
Elections belong to the People, not state government, not ES&S and certainly not Bena or Evnen.
"...at NOT county taxpayer costs"??? How many other kinds of taxpayers are there??? So the county taxpayer gets taxed for elections at the state level rather than the county level (only not apportioned by county). That is just sleight of hand. Otherwise known as a scam. Otherwise known as criminal behavior.
Please advise on your course of action.

I neglected to say, in my substack yesterday, that when I finally got real with God, and asked Him what I was doing wrong, He immediately showed me. He showed me that I was a selfish wretch who was always trying to use Him to serve my ends rather than seeking Him for His will to be done. The revelation crushed me. After contemplating my crime for a few days, I gave myself to true repentance, and immediately upon doing so, experienced the Spirit descend upon me according to Psalm 91:4:
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
I found myself suspended in the most perfect peace and love. It was incredible. I had never experienced anything like it. It radically changed my life. Not that I haven’t disappointed Him since, but the experience stayed with me and has caused me to grow up in Him. I know His love, peace and fellowship, and there’s nothing like it in this world.
All blessing and honor and glory and power be unto Him and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.
Your Friend and Brother,
Robert
Bena confesses, but what recourse will ensue? Confessing guilt does nothing without consequences. Is this they way Nebraska handles felons? I pray that there is retribution for his actions! This truth shouldn’t need tons of voter input. It’s a crime not only against the people but the State of Nebraska and should be handled as such!
Wow!! I thank God for you. You watch out for us and take those who think they know it all to task!! I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
