In two wards, one on the south side and one on the north side, the gap is more than 500, with fewer than half the votes cast in each ward accounted for in the city's computer system, a Journal Sentinel review has found.
Such gaps were present at different levels in nearly all of the city wards and could hamper the investigation launched last week by federal and local authorities into possible voter fraud by giving an incomplete or inaccurate picture of who actually voted.
They also raise questions about the level of oversight of how the city records who voted in each ward - an important safeguard that, properly done, can be used to spot double voting and other problems.
And unless the gaps can be fully resolved, they leave room for critics to allege that ballot boxes were stuffed in the city, which went heavily to Democrat John Kerry over President Bush in a state with one of the closest margins in the country.

If everything is handled perfectly, the three numbers - voters at the polls, ballots counted and voters recorded - would all match. While such a match would not rule out fraud, for now even that most basic check cannot be made by the newspaper or even the Election Commission staff.
Using election-day "incident logs," which are supposed to include this number, the newspaper found many cases where the information was missing and others where apparently no log was kept or filed with the city.

Ahhhh, but then the question becomes "What does she know?"
NEWS FLASH. MILWAUKEE DEMOCRATS CORRUPT.
SUN RISES IN EAST.
Film at 11. /sarcasm
Wisconsin was stolen. Ain't no doubt.
For any who may have missed my earlier post, take a look at this story I found in the Sentinel's archives:
Nov. 4, 2004

On the night before the election, Mayor Barrett, some of his "friends" and family, and "members of the painters union" SPENT ALL NIGHT AT CITY HALL accessing elections computer system.

But theres no reason to be SUSPICIOUS...the mayor assures us there was no fraud!
Over here....new details
Hey, I missed this map of all the wards:

110% voter turnout in Milwaukee? That's quite good. No Democrat voter fraud there, no sir-ee!
Voter ink is a good idea, but Republicans need only dip their pinky finger in the ink, while Democrats should have their entire face painted in it, or at least their noses. Florescent purple.
We just need to let this go until the next election. Then watch like a hawk.
But wow, wont paperless computer voting insure that we have fraud free elections?
And the Dems dont ever really cheat, since they know how the dead would have voted and why should they be dicriminated against simply because they are dead?
The dead have rights too.
Inked fingers only help IF the voters exist.
It's possible there were never any bodies to go with those ballots...see the article above about the mayor's all-nighter in the elections office.
Did you see that Rachel Corrie is still on the voter rolls in Washington state?!
Duh! Like they didn't know she was dead?!
And this is appearing in a commie rag of a paper. Amazing. Every now and then the MSM actually does their job.
Great FReeper name!
I must say this reporter has done a great job on this story...I suspect someone's feeding him info.
Thanks for the ping. I'm not surprised.
On Tuesday, Rick Graber, head of the state Republican Party, challenged his Democratic counterpart to appear at a hearing on the matter Thursday so together they can condemn "the fact that potentially thousands of voters across Wisconsin had their legally cast ballot disenfranchised by fraud and abuse."Time to file RICO charges against the DemonRATs.Linda Honold, state Democratic Party chair, said she was unsure if she would attend the meeting but added that if she did go, she would do so to oppose the bill.
"If I'm there, I'm not going to be arguing what he wants me to argue," she said.
Thank ya very much. Oddly enough, I've never even been in the Navy. The name just came to me.
In Georgia they actually passed a law that you can no longer vote if you have been dead more than 3 years.
