(Madison, WI)….First it was “Smokes for Votes.” Then it was “Pastries for Votes.” Now Democrats are continuing their assault on the health of voters by offering “Wieners for votes.”
Democrats in Eau Claire are illegally offering free food in an effort to bribe people for their vote. Today, a complaint had to be filed against Democrat Kathleen Vinehout’s campaign for handing out free food in violation of Wisconsin’s “election bribery” law. The Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Wiley, says he doubts even free food will help Vinhout’s campaign.
“Apparently, Kathleen’s campaign is so out of steam, they have to offer free hotdogs for votes,” Wiley said, “Cigarettes, pastries and now hotdogs for votes. No wonder Democrats want universal health care. The people they are bribing for their vote are going to need it.”
Kathleen Vineholt’s campaign manager was spotted putting up flyers on the UW-Eau Claire campus for a phony front group called “Students 4 Students Voting.” The flyers offer free hotdogs for voters, a clear violation of Wisconsin law. Wisconsin Statute 12.11(1) defines “election bribery” as “. . . any amount of money, or any object which has utility independent of any political message it contains and the value of which exceeds $1.” Wiley says he’s not surprised that Vineholt has resorted to breaking Wisconsin law to get votes.
“Kathleen Vineholt is continuing a Democrat tradition of Election bribery,” Wiley said, “For Democrats, it’s a lot easier to illegally hand out freebies than it is to come up with a plan to make Wisconsin better.”
A complaint was also filed on Vineholt’s campaign because a UW-Eau Clair professor was caught coordinating with Democrats at taxpayer expense. According to the complaint filed today, a professor was using her taxpayer funded e-mail to get students to accept rides from Democrats to the polls. On those shuttles, voters were handed a completed sample ballot with all the Democrats filled in – making it clear they were to vote for Democrats to enjoy the free perk.
Jim Doyle’s administration remains under investigation by Federal, State and County authorities.
Not to mention phoney votes and tires slashed in recent elections....
Michael Moore was never prosecuted for buying votes and encouraging others to do the same (with food, laundry service, sex, "do something").
Call 1-866-683 to Stop Fraud
(Madison, WI)…. Voters will be able to call a toll-free number to help stop fraud in Wisconsin on Election Day. The Republican Party of Wisconsin is launching “Operation Voter Integrity.” The number is, toll-free, 1-866-683-3728. The Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Wiley says he expects many calls again this year.
“In 2004, we also set up a free hotline and were overwhelmed with calls,” Wiley said, “As we have seen in the city of Milwaukee, not enough has been done to stop voter fraud so we expect to get a lot of calls again this year.”
Recently, Republicans held a news conference near a bridge in Milwaukee, where – according to Milwaukee’s voter lists – two people voted in the November 2004 election. A Milwaukee County Circuit Judge said this week that the city’s voting system could easily be manipulated to alter the outcome of elections. Judge Mel Flanagan says there are “appalling” vulnerabilities in the way elections are run in Milwaukee. The judge’s comments came as she sentenced a crack addict for falsifying voter registration cards for cash before the November 2004 election. Judge Flanagan says it’s too easy to manipulate the system and called the sentencing “A wake up call to everybody.” Wiley says he hopes voters will blow the whistle on fraud when they see it.
“If voters of either party see problems or concerns at their polling place, we hope they call,” Wiley said, “One free call could help protect our electoral process. We are making progress on stopping voter fraud, but we’re not there yet. Every fraudulent vote cancels out someone else’s legitimate vote. That’s not right and it’s not fair. This hotline will help Wisconsin voters take their government back from people who are willing to cheat.”

Not only do Dems attempt to buy votes, but they're cheap in trying to buy them.
The DUmocrat skanks aren't offering themselves up for their SEX FOR VOTES campaign this year?

"Buy Votes Early, Buy Votes Often" Ping!
And this from the party that screams about voter fraud when the biggest slime cheaters are the Dims......how I despise that party of gremlins.
Hey, I forgot.
It's the election eve...did the guv and mayor spend the night at Milwaukee city hall ["preparing votes"]??!!
Wow, my daughter attends UW-EC.
Actually, they were both here in Madistan "preparing votes" last night and passing out packs of cigs to the homeless, LOL!
Mark Green was on his home turf in Green Bay, so I didn't see him last night.
I took a Politics Break. I watched 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' and laughed until I cried. This morning I made a fresh pot of coffee and a pan of cinnamon rolls and am 'girding my loins' for the day ahead! :)
Husband just left to vote on his way into our office, and I'll be heading in around 9am to vote and relieve another worker for a few hours at the polls. It's going to be a zoo. They're predicting huge turnouts today, and the weather is going to be very nice, so no excuses!
Especially when all those buses start showing up for same-day registration!
'Cause they want them to "vote for weiners"???
"PAAACKERS!!!"
"WOOO!"
(BTW, I'll be having MST3K on all day)
Moore would've probably eaten all the wieners. Or maybe the wieners are another symbol of the Democrat Part.
