In Wisconsin many of the 130,000 newly registered voters were not properly registered. The 5600 wrong addresses is only the tip of the iceberg. In Milw for example all newly registered voters with incorrect info were sent cards in the mail. Many, many of those were returned. IF these people show up at the polls, their name will be ON voter list, but with an asterisk next to their name. This means they HAVE to show ID validating their address (ie electric bill ,DL, rent bill within 90 days, etc.) If they do not have the proper ID, they can cast a PROVISIONAL ballot which is set aside and held until they return by 8pm with proper ID. IF they do not show up with proper ID by 8 on election night, the ballot is DISCARDED.
The Bush?Cheney orgainization in MIlw co has 1000's of trained voluteers(Including many, many voluteer lawyers) who will be monitoring the polls to ensure a semblance of honesty. The mere fact this is being so publicized will help keep fraudulent voters from showing up and risking getting caught. NO mickey mouse, superman, donald duck voters in Milw this year folks. I and 1000's of voluteers and dedicated to making sure that DOES NOT happen.
Also, the county executive this time is the first REPUBLICAN elected to that position in forever, and property taxes and taxes in general are a big issue. Last election, Bush won 38% of vote in Milw CO, and lost the state by less than 6000 votes. This time I think Bus will get 42-44% of the county vote and that would make it damn near impossible for Kerry to win the state. The western counties have a huge GOTV campaign for BUSH this time and that will provide an even bigger cushion for him.
Bravo!!
