Callers to the Jeff Wagner Radio show are reporting having received Absentee ballots WITHOUT having requested them over the weekend, and the are PREMARKED for John Kerry. The WTMJ news department is talking to these people and hopefully a followup story will come about.
This is an absolute OUTRAGE.
And the local Milwaukee County exec just agreed to print and distribute a total of over 900,000 ballots!
OK, I stand corrected.
I thought it was someone at the same residence...when in fact, it's someone in the same precinct.
Agreed!
That would be my guess. I heard of one paper that had such a picture prominently displayed in a newstory. Its purported purpose was to show the readers what the ballots would look like.
The discussion was not the handling, but the LEGALITY of the handling. Three of the four links have charges filed for illegal handling and the other discusses a board reversing an earlier decision and now being challenged by the Republicans. The ballots were segregated. This link goes to your original comment, somewhat. The others refute it.
Yeah, like advertisements that are made to look like checks, on one part it says "Pay to the Order of," and another place it says "Not a Real Check."
It could have been done by whoever put the ballots in the envelope. During the 2000 election I was a Poll Watcher in a Dem precinct in Houston. I spotted a ballot that had been pre-punched...for Gore of course. I alerted the Dem Election Judge and he got another ballot for the voter holding the ballot. It was probably a clerk up front who punched the hole although it could have been a voter leaning over the table where the ballots were being dispensed. In the end it was a silly attempt at fraud because 95% of the precinct voted for Gore anyway.
Ping...

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud
1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).
2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).
3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)
4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).
5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)
6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).
7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).
8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).
9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).
10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."
