Wisconsin Democratic members of congress asked the U.S. Justice Department to oversee Wisconsin's monitoring of the election due to concerns with the new voter ID law, including Representative Ron Kind who was in Eau Claire Thursday.
Kind told News 18 he wanted to send the letter to the U.S. Justice Department because Donald Trump and other Republican leaders are telling people to become poll watchers this election year. Kind said Wisconsin has no voter fraud issues, and he wanted to make sure everyone who can go out and vote has the opportunity to do so.
"We don't want to see harassment at the booth or at the polling station," Kind said. "There has been a history in some areas of the country of that taking place, and now with his call to encourage supporters to get out there and do their own poll monitoring, I think creates a very contentious, and a very intimidating situation."
The letter was also signed by Senator Tammy Baldwin and Representatives Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan.
This means the Democrats are worried about losing WI fair & square.
That means the Democrats think they’re going to lose Wisconsin. Good news, actually.
Ds want Obama to ensure vote fraud for them.
Another sign of panic. If the election was in the bag for them, they wouldn’t be calling in the Justice Department.
Time to fix election results so it matches the polls.
Sure. Who could be more fair and impartial than the DOJ? /S
How the bleep does he know? These people are so blatant, I'd laugh if there wasn't so much at stake.
That sounds ILLEGAL!
OMG....The machine continues to roll. They would only give a pass to illegal voting. Most corrupt Justice Dept in our history.
Those unfamiliar with Hank Johnson should google him...lots of fun!
OK so now both sides are saying that the election is rigged?
Yeah, they want to federalize the election so they can steal it under our very noses.
All in the name of electoral integrity, of course.
Everyone knows Obama Justice is completely non-partisan.
Fox guarding the hen house.
Requiring ID will make it harder for the out of state fraudulent voters, documented by Project Veritas, to cast ballots. The democrat crooks need federal help to up their game and produce a large number of fake IDs that will pass at the polls. Obama’s minions disgust me just as much as their corrupt leader does.

More likely worried some of their poll workers won’t sufficiently stuff ballot boxes. With all the focus on voter fraud this year.
They probably want DOJ goons removing pro-Trump poll watchers.
I’m not ready to believe “it’s what they do” unless I hear it from somebody (a lot) entrenched in Wisconsin. They have Walker as governor and some very real anti-socialistic support there. I don’t think it’s “just what they do,” frankly.
Scott Walker should call out the national guard and use them to forcefully oppose this move by the Banana Reublic Dictator and his Tonton Macoutes Loretta Lynch and Comey from intruding into the Electoral process there. They are morally compromised.
