A very short (and incomplete) list of other Democrat dirty tricks in Wisconsin this past election -

• Various Democrat-linked outfits won the right to be deputized as registars, giving them the right to say that a "new voter's identification" meets the requirements of the law.
• The city of Milwaukee requested and later obtained from the county (who provides the ballots for elections) 918,000 ballots for this election (despite the numbers above). Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker did, however, obtain a concession that the unused ballots would be returned to the county instead of being destroyed by the city. It turns out that less than 300,000 ballots, including spoils, were used.
• Tires on vehicles rented by the Republican Party for transportation of voters were slashed by, among others, the adult son of newly-elected Congresswoman Gwendoline Moore (D-Milwaukee). The criminal investigation is being slow-dragged to obliviion by Milwaukee District Attorney E. Michael McCann (D-Milwaukee).
• The same Mark Belling cited up above was verbally intimidated at his polling place in the city of Milwaukee on November 2.
• The Milwaukee Election Commission had not delivered a single absentee ballot to polling places by 6 pm, a mere 2 hours before the polls close. Despite an effort by the Milwaukee Police and Fire Departments, several hundred ballots were not delivered in time to be counted. They were, however, later counted after a ruling by the State Elections Board.

If the republicans could get voter fraud out of Philly, Detroit, and now Milwaukee I think they would have three states go red next time.

No dead guys voting? Our Rats got your Rats beat!

Good Luck, and never give in!!

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel got around to publishing an apologist piece this morning (below the fold of the Metro section in the print edition, and buried in the online edition).

[Shqipo]

My outrage is at the GOP for not making a stink over this and prosecuting some of the organizers of election fraud. With some official protest, Wisconsin would be RED and not Blue.

[steveegg]

Just in case you didn't see this just yet....

[T'wit]

I had Wisconsin and Pennsylvania particularly in mind for my tagline.

[SerpentDove]

Massive voter fraud and they STILL lost the election! Gotta love it.

But we better be a little more on the ball next time or Hillary will be President.

[lawgirl]

I hate this city.

[Robert A Cook PE]

But where is the national media?

Where is Dan Rather? Pelosi? ABC News? CNN?

Clinton blamed the 24-hour news cycle for his impeachment: that's what he wrote in his library statement.

Where is the 24-hour news cycle when there's (democratic) corruption going on in Washington and WI and PA and DE and CA?

Communist Party U.S.A.

Lenin look-alike Kevin Neish isn't a party member, let alone a revolutionary. 'I'm just here for entertainment,' the straight-faced Canadian visitor said Friday.

Eddie Davis, a member of the Communist Party from New York, records a moment at the 27th National Convention of the Communist Party U.S.A., held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Friday.

Quotable

We share many things in common with the long history of the Communist Party and all those engaged in the fight for a decent life for working people.

- Mayor John O. Norquist,
in a letter to the Communist Part U.S.A. convention, on Milwaukee's socialist history

That was just Wisconsin native and world-renowned Red-baiter Sen. Joseph McCarthy tossing in his grave as the Communist Party U.S.A. opened its 27th national convention in Milwaukee.

About 400 delegates and guests gathered at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Union to kick off the convention, which runs through Sunday. It began with a thunderous rendition of the workers anthem "Solidarity Forever" and a standing ovation in absentia for Mayor John O. Norquist, who touted Milwaukee's socialist history in a letter welcoming the delegates.

"In that sense, we share many things in common with the long history of the Communist Party and all those engaged in the fight for a decent life for working people," Norquist said in the letter read by aide Daisy Cubais.

Before it adjourns Sunday, the party is expected to elect a new National Committee and pass resolutions on a broad range of issues, from education, racism and immigrant rights to solidarity with the Palestinian people's effort for self-determination.

Today, the Communist Party is strongest on the East Coast, in California and in a handful of Midwestern states, although its numbers in Wisconsin have dwindled.

"We're trying to rebuild the party here," Webb said.

Follow-up story:

Mayor didn't see letter, aides say: Greeting welcomed Communist Party to city for convention

A statement issued Friday by Mike Soika, Norquist's chief of staff, said the mayor agreed to write a welcome letter for the group, which is common for visiting conventions. He said the letter was written by an unidentified staffer and not reviewed by Norquist, who is on a family vacation. He said Norquist "does not endorse Communist ideology and condemns many elements of Communist history."

The letter has been heavily criticized on local talk radio and became fodder for some national media attention, including a mention in the Drudge Report online.

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)."
