Wisconsin: Update on Wanggaard recount
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wiscosnin interest ping list.
The control of the Wisconsin State Senate and all its committees rides on this race.
Lehman has that ‘commie’ look...
Or what? A law without consequences is meaningless. It sounds like the election officials have just said "Oh, never mind."
“Lehman has that commie look...”
Nah He has that young Adolph look....
In all fairness, the signature provision is relatively new. Not all poll workers are familiar with it. The confusion happened with new registrations. Seems to me that they should halt registrations at the polls. I think Racine had about 4000 on election day. That is where the problem lies.
There seems to be NO problem with the fact that being unwilling to disenfranchise an “illegal” voter just happens to effectively disenfranchise a LEGAL voter, especially among the holders of a certain political view. Curious, isn’t it?
The Republican looks like the stapler guy from Office Space
I’m a Wisconsin Republican. Republican Van Wanggaard needs to go back to his day job, whatever it was.
Keep me in the loop, B.
isn’t this the ONLY race that a democrap won?
This is exactly the reason why the Obama campaign is hiring a couple of thousand lawyers to proctor the 2012 election. Stealing is an option if things don’t go as planned.
Yep!
The Journal Sentinel is not telling the whole story (shocking I know). Just a few of the things that the State GOP is telling talk radio people:
- there is a supplemental book for same day voters so they have to sign two separate times. In some cases there are no signatures recorded at all in others the signature is completely different from one book to the other.
- voter number is supposed to be assigned to each person voting and in a number of cases there was a question mark next to the name instead of the number or no number at all.
- harassment of Republican poll watchers and ignoring contested ballot requests/signatures
- this was not widespread over the entire voting area but specifically in the city of Racine.
The books are such a mess that the GOP cannot make heads or tails of some of the ward rolls.
The Dems stuffed the ballot boxes with not only fraudulent voters in person but IMO were likely taking matters into their own hands and adding ballots at the last minute when they thought Waangard could still win.
Cheating is possible when subtle...4000 random votes from wards in the City of Racine is not subtle but criminal.
Democrats don’t need no steenkeen laws. They can do anything they want because they are Democrats.
Wanggaard should definitely take this to court.
I don’t get my “key” for the voting machine until I have 1. Shown a picture ID, 2. signed the poll book.
The poll book requirement is as old as my voting memory, the photo ID is fairly new, several years.
I have no idea why Ohio’s photo ID requirement hasn’t been challenged.
