At Milwaukee Ward 259, the Cudahy YMCA in Northwest Milwaukee, election observers vehemently argued over whether members of Wisconsin Jobs Now!, an organization embroiled in scandal and tied to Rep. Sandy Pasch via Citizen Action of Wisconsin, were allowed inside the polling site wearing Wisconsin Jobs Now! t-shirts and buttons.
The controversy began just after 12:30 PM when a volunteer election observer challenged whether Wisconsin Jobs Now! personnel driving voters to the polling location should be allowed inside the building. Democrat election observers and Wisconsin Jobs Now! personnel argued that Wisconsin Jobs Now! is not in violation of GAB rules that forbid election observers from wearing clothing or buttons related to candidates, parties or referenda.
Milwaukee Election Commissioner Bob Spindell arrived on the scene as election observers tried to get a hold of Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Sue Edman and Wisconsin Government Accountability Board officials to determine whether WJN t-shirts and buttons qualified as related to candidates, parties or referenda.
Last week, Wisconsin Jobs Now! personnel were forced out of the Milwaukee Election Commission office during early voting based on this criteria. Milwaukee Election Commission officials and the Government Accountability Board are trying to determine if the same standard will be applied to election day polling locations.
On August 1, Wisconsin Jobs Now! organized block parties that offered voters free food, raffle tickets, and a ride to the polls to vote early. When informed about the event, the GAB indicated that the event was illegal because free food and rides to the polls should not be combined.
Furthermore, Wisconsin Jobs Now! is deeply connected to Citizen Action of Wisconsin, an organization that Democrat Sandy Pasch and her campaign treasurer Jackie Boynton sit on the Board of Directors. Wisconsin Jobs Now! has held events that have featured Sandy Pasch For Senate signs and others that have denigrated opponent Alberta Darling. Citizen Action of Wisconsin has spent thousands of dollars on anti-Alberta Darling mail pieces and has staged demonstrations in Senate District 8 including the bizarre Medicare funeral.
TMJ4 and other news outlets have reported that Wisconsin Jobs Now! and Citizen Action are indeed deeply connected. It is up to GAB officials to determine whether Wisconsin Jobs Now! and Sandy Pasch are connected, making the actions of Wisconsin Jobs Now! a violation of election law.
I hope this does not turn violent and ugly like the Wisconsin State Fair riots...

Where is Matt Drudge when you need him?
Need a Siren on this one -- I think...
The whole Wisconsin budget debate was made ugly by Democrats. Those brownshirts won’t stop now.
Job 5:12: “He thwarts the plans of the crafty so that their hands achieve no success”...we need to claim this in Jesus’ name every time we pray...early and often...their side cheats and votes early and often with illegals and dead people, but our side needs to just pray and ask for intervention.
“I’ll almost be surprised if Republicans hold on in WI.”
I will be stunned.
But Walker has got most of his agenda through and its effects will be coming on line no matter if the RATs do recall the Senators.
Without the State taking money from the members union finances are going to be severely impacted.
No, it is mainly because they lose sight of the real problem, the RATs, and turn dumbass.
Those guys present a target rich environment.
Is that guy on the right Plaxico Burress?

Gee, what a surprise. DemoRATs offering food & rides & bribes, to get transient voters to the polls, whether they are coherent or not. Bastard demoRATs! I hate em!
the union leadership is all communists who simply want to claim power via parasites.
The way the unions were screaming, the way the judge JERRYMANDERED THE ELECTION SEQUENCE, it is clear in line with your contention of machiavelian win at any pyrihc cost.
You read my mind.
There should be fines levied against those who broke the law...
