Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, citing vote-fraud concerns, is publicly balking at a City of Milwaukee request for almost 260,000 additional ballots in anticipation of high turnout for the Nov. 2 presidential election. Mayor Tom Barrett blasted Walker's stance, and Common Council President Willie Hines Jr. immediately joined in, saying it was an attempt to suppress the central-city vote. "I'm going to lay this at the footsteps of the county if there aren't enough ballots in the city," said Barrett. Barrett said that the 679,000 ballots the county had agreed to print were less than the amount prepared for the presidential election in 2000 as well as for the the gubernatorial race in 2002. He and the city's top election official said that the city requested 938,000 ballots from the county, which, by law, pays for and prints ballots. In a letter sent to City Elections chief Lisa Artison, Walker said that he had "serious questions" about the need for that many ballots when the city reported having 382,000 registered voters in September.

Sorry, my second post. Thanks for the heads up.
I am sick and tired of the democrat vote fraud. It literally steals democracy and our birthright to free and fair elections.
This will happen all over the country, but the liberals will say that any attempt to get things squared away is "suppressing" the vote. I am very concerned about this.
Vote fraud Ping.
bttt
You've got it; if we do nothing, they get to commit fraud; if we stop them, they sue on the grounds that we're "disenfranchising" them.
The good news, though, is that unlike in 2000, there is a lot of press about it and people who can do something about it are involved. Ohio Secretary of state Kenneth Blackwell is doing something here in Ohio about it.
There were a bunch of allegations about fraud in Milwaukee in 2000. You would think that in 4 years they could have fixed it.
Don't count on the press. They've been aiding and abetting the dems for 50 years.
Yep. It appears Bush is doing a heck of a lot better than the polls show. Actions speak louder than words.
Why do we just sit back and take this? All it would take is one strongly worded statement of concern from the President about voter fraud for this to be a mainstream issue. If the wider electorate knew the things that the Dems routinely get away with in election after election, they would not forgive them.
This makes it obvious the GOP CANNOT concede to Demonrats any state. They need to examine the voter fraud. It's everywhere and it makes it the obligation of the Bush/Cheney team to make sure they do not concede states where this obvious fraud is taking place. These Demonrats need to be prosecuted and an end put to this. This is out of hand and I hope the GOP is sending lawyers and teams to stop this nonsense.
Like the mutable ballots used to make dimpled and hanging chads? The MSM didn't even report it. They just sit back and watched them be counted as actual individual votes.
Yet, how many millions of dead Republicans were disenfranchised in the 2000 election by not being fraudulently called upon to send in absentee ballots, I ask you?
