Walker says unions hope to replicate in Wisconsin ‘what was pulled off with Senator [Al] Franken in Minnesota.’ He promises, though, that Republicans will be on guard against any post-election ballot shenanigans.”

I notice that Milwaukee is one of the few counties not to certify yet. Are they searching car trunks for ballots?

LOL...Wonder if and how Franken responds to this. He may try to let this one remark fly under the radar, but if the Dems keep pushing the Wisconsin recount, the comparison to the Franken fiasco will keep reemerging, and the longer Franken lets the comparisons go unanswered, the more questionable his seat looks.

Delicious!

Sounds like the Trump strategy is being tried out by another Republican.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Milwaukee County District Attorney and the group in charge of overseeing Wisconsin’s elections are expected to make an announcement about a major investigation.
The Government Accountability Board and Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office will hold a news conference Monday afternoon in Madison to discuss the results of what they call a “significant investigation.”

When it comes to elections, all anyone needs to know about these commie thug unions is that the bastards don’t believe in secret ballots. Unions want to know how you voted so they’ll know whether to break you knees and elbows or not.

HA! It is SOOOOO refreshing that he actually mentioned
Franken by name!

Freeze the target
Isolate it
Personalize it

You’re learning, Scott, you’re learning!

One can only guess what they will come up with to get the Commy elected. One would like to think that they are investigating the 10k plus ballots with only the the Judges race punched out.

That is unbelievable to me. How are they justifying that? One district lost the votes for 5 hours, Milwaukee can’t get their act together after nearly a week. That’s where the investigation should be taking place.

Rule # 1:

Democrats NEVER lose an election.

It is either STOLEN (2000), voters vote against their own interests (2004), or the electorate is brainwashed by FoxNews/conservative talk radio/Sarah Palin’s Facebook page (2010).

I no longer associate with rats, former friends, family, they are out of my life and I am happier for it. Put up with them in Clintons BS and listened to them up to the 2nd half of 03.

With Franken, the Republicans folded like a cheap suit. I hope they stand their ground this time.

In Minnesota, “Being Frankened” now refers to a candidate who was cheated by election fraud.

We need to popularize the term. "Being Frankened" should be up there with "Being Borked".

I understand that that presser is regarding a Railroad executive charged with campaign law violations

Just let them. Rats hate the light and it is being shined on them and it is being shined, nice and bright.
