Say it Ain't So!!!
Funny thing about fraud investigations. When you start throwing that word around, sometimes people don't understand you actually mean "but only in Republican states":
According to state records, 83,000 people executed a same-day registration for Milwuakee County, which is more than 20% of all voting-age residents in the county. Now, Wisconsinites may procrastinate a bit, but in order to believe that number, you'd have to expect that 20% of the county had moved or became newly eligible within the past two years (after the previous national cycle).
Which gives me the rather delicious opportunity of paraphrasing one of our more... extreme... lefty acquaintances:
"Given there is a [Democratic] governor of the state, I was expecting a [Chicago] standard cover up. I'm hoping that some people get some serious jail time for voter fraud, but I imagine that they will get off with warnings if they are [Democrats]."
The nice thing about running your own blog is never having to worry about being banned.
I mean, what's a few electoral votes between friends? Remember folks, the only real difference between the parties is where the get drinks at the end of the day.
Ouch - and some searching has turned up some other interesing issues there...
http://archive.wispolitics.com/freeser/pr/pr0211/nov04/pr02110414.html In the current election campaign, on Oct. 14 two Jim Doyle for Governor campaign workers were caught on videotape passing out quarters, kringle and beverages to influence the votes of mentally disabled residents of a Kenosha care facility. Kenosha County District Attorney Bob Jambois, a member of the Doyle campaign's steering committee, hand-picked the special prosecutor who declined to file criminal charges.
Using 'Wisconsin Voter Fraud' as my search items, a current check of CNN turns up nothing, ABCNews comes up with results from the Bush/Gore race, CBSNews had nada, MSNBC came up with nothing as well. Hell, even Fox seems to be silent on this.
Now, I will give the media the chance to say that they're verifying the story, especially after RatherGate. However, it seems to be high time for some press somewhere...
Let's go protest somewhere - it seems to work in getting noticed...

Posted by: Ron on January 18, 2005 08:09 PMHeh, and we could travel around the left leaning blogosphere and tally and catalogue the amount of time it takes to get banned from each one.
