I've been hearing from several citizen watchdogs about allegations of massive Democratic election fraud in Wisconsin. Reader Ron LaCanne sent me this summary:
A state representative has been asking the Milwaukee Election Commission for information on the number of votes cast by voters who voted and registered on the same day (Wisconsin Law allows voters to register at the polls the day of the election). By law all same day registers are to be validated by mail immediately after the election (Their votes get counted regardless of their status). Rep. [Jeff] Stone finally received an answer Monday of [last] week. He was told that there were 8,300 same day votes and approximately 900 were unable to be delivered. Assuming about one third of the same day votes will not be verified because there is no such address, etc., that would mean approximately 2400 illegal votes were cast. Sounds bad! Well.....
Rep. Stone today received a call from the Election Commission. They were a little bit off. They actually had 73,000 same day votes cast. 10,000 voter registration cards could not be sent because they have no addresses or incomplete or inadequate information. Using the same one third return rate that means in Milwaukee alone more than 25,000 illegal votes were cast. You can expect that the cities of Racine, Kenosha and Madison to have similar results.
By the way George Bush lost Wisconsin by 12,000 votes and Milwaukee votes 80% or more Democrat. Please use your contacts in that wonderful blogger world to helps us. We won't get any help from that lousy socialist rag the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Dirty Harry, who blogs at Stranded on Blue Islands, elaborates:
It's only after your vote is counted verification begins, with a follow-up mailing to verify you do live at the address and that the address is valid. Well, as of today, and in Milwaukee alone, 10,000 votes cannot be verified. Bush lost the entire state by a mere 11,384 votes.
Here's where things get even stranger:
Milwaukee's population is around 600,000. Of voting age: 430,000. According to election officials 83,000 people same-day-registered to vote. That's 20% of eligible voters. I can't find statistics to compare that number to prior elections but it sounds high. (If someone has the numbers, please forward.)
In 2000 Al Gore won Milwaukee by 22 points. Kerry won by 35! That contradicts a lot of trends -- even Wisconsin ones. But bottom line, 6500 votes counted in Milwaukee for Kerry cannot be verified. This whittles his state-wide lead down to 5,000, and makes one wonder what happened in other state Democrat strongholds like Madison and Racine...
Emcee has more details via Wisconsin talk show host Mark Belling.
Litttle Green Footballs has more blog reports.
Lorie Byrd comments: "I am sure that when Democrats see all the voting irregularities in a state that went for Kerry by a much smaller margin than Ohio went for Bush that they will start protesting the Wisconsin electoral vote as well. Well, why wouldn’t they?"
Yup. Go figure!
Update: Sean Hackbarth at The American Mind has details on Wisconsin's same-day registration regulations and more reporting here.
And keep checking in at Boots and Sabers for continuous updates and round-ups of Wisconsin blogger coverage.
Blogs for Bush weighs in, too.
Update: Woo-hoo. Captain Ed is on the case--and is he on it! Read his analysis. He concludes:
Why does the Silence Of The Cheese continue to deafen our national media? If they have their way, Clarice Starling wouldn't come within 500 miles of Milwaukee but instead would chase down red herrings in Cleveland, Ohio. It almost convinces me that political bias plays a role in mainstream media coverage. Good think Dick Thornburgh told me otherwise. Yup.
Another home-run by Malkin!
The Democrats are stuffing ballot boxes with illegal votes while the Republicans break down barriers for more criminal aliens to enter the country.
Wow, we sure do live in interesting times!
The veryt lat things want is a truly fair election.
Another comment I have to make is that my wife never got any voter confirmation in the mail. She voted for the first time in Cheesland this past election and she registered at the poll. I smell a rat, I'm just not sure where it is.
...file.
My wife did same day registration and has never gotten any mailing to confirm squat. Of course we only live in a farm community where everyone who resides in five hundred square miles could fit in the checkout lines at Piggly Wiggly, but that's no reason to not have her residency questioned by the legal process outlined in election laws.
who's that boob on MCNBC...the dope with the glasses and the lowest rated show on cable news...oh, Keith Olbermann...I'm sure he'll cover this in-depth tonight...NOT!
Is that anything like a stuned beeber?
Maybe some of those voters actually lived at the King County Elections Office in Seattle...
Yet the Dems. and their MSM allies without a scant of evidence are able to cast a pall of doubt over Bush's Ohio win, by a more substantial 119,000 votes, without a single one of those votes being in question as to legality or legitimacy. This country is lost in a sea of lies being perpetrated by the Party of Evil and their lapdog cohorts in the media.
Something like that.
(Stupid fat fingers!)
I was an election judge in Minnesota, and they had same-day registration. We had the big master list of all valid addresses and had to verify their 'alleged' address to that one. Also, we could challenge anyone with any question... "How to you get from here to the mall?", "What road do you drive down to get to your house", "How do you get from your house to HWY 169?", "Where's the nearest gas station from your house?", etc.
If they failed any of these tests..... BZZZZZZ thanks for playing...
Hehehe - just what the liberals deserve, questions being raised about vote fraud in a Kerry state!
In 2000, me and my wife registered at the poll in Oak Creek, WI and never received a confirmation. Secondly, our vote was counted right away since you filled it out and put it in the machine. There is no way to know which ballots were ours anyway.
In 2004, we pre-registered about 3 weeks before the election. We had moved to Racine. We pre-registered because of all the fraud that was going on. They even arrested a couple of registrars in one of the liberal voting registration organizations in Racine for registration fraud. I wanted to make sure that someone didn't register using my address and fraudulently steal my wife's and my votes.
If they look closely at what happened in Wisconsin in 2000 and 2004, they'll find that voting fraud surpasses anyone's imaginations.
GREGOIRE will probably win the iraqi election.
GREGOIRE will probably win the iraqi election.
And what were those busloads of union people from Chicago doing crossing the WI border on election day???
We know we have a mess up here and it will be an uphill battle to get it changed because our govenor and state attorney are partisan democrats. Both of them are up for election in 1 1/2 years or so. They sure don't want to do anything to make it harder for them to steal their own elections!
