Democratic Vote Fraud in Wisconsin Gov. Race
NBC Milwaukee Affiliate-WTMJ TV

WTMJ-TV, the NBC affiliate in Milwaukee tonight aired an undercover investigation at a group home for mentally disabled patients in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where campaign workers for Jim Doyle, democratic candidate for governor were handing out small amounts of money and free food to the residents. They then were herded upstairs into a separate room and given absentee ballots to cast their vote for governor. Local reporter, Scott Friedman captured this on camera and broadcast it in an exclusive report tonight on Milwaukee news. The Doyle campaign is not commenting.
Jay Heck, leader of Wisconsin political watchdog group, Common Cause, was stunned at the series of events when he viewed the undercover investigation. Memories of Al Gore campaign workers handing out cigarettes to homeless in Milwaukee, and then taking them to the polls in 2000 immediately came to mind.

Brit Hume just covered the story.
To: KingKongCobra
I saw it! Hurray for Brit. He is the only must-see TV in our house.

The county address is hard-down. It appears that the state-provided e-mail (the Jambois.Robert@mail.da.state.wi.us address found on the
District Attorney's Staff page) does work.
To: July 4th
When's the repeat?
To: SteveAustin
Democrats practice voting fraud as a way of life. They are the party of special-interest power grabs, not the party of Constitutional principles.
Democratic voter fraud needs to be exposed and cracked down on everywhere.
Especially now: 2002 is a critical election year.
To: windchime
Thanks for the ping, windchime.
We voted absentee for the first time this year because of Jeb (and George's) request thru repeated mailings. I assumed that Gov. Bush understood the potential for mischief at the polls.
If Dem. lawyers with memos try to disenfranchise the absentee ballots - we'll know what I suspect - that many, many Fla. voters are saying YES! to Jeb. (^:
Vigilance!
Dems. "leaning" on restaurant owners in Liberty City, Luis Gonzalez takes on the "mob."

You've got your 4th and 5th. Unfortunately, his Arkansas link is dead. As a side note, this is now international as the (London) Guardian has picked up the AP story. Meanwhile, the Journtinel still has not broken off the story from the now-hopelessly-buried campaign "notebook".
To: steveegg
I think it's at 11pm central time. It was part of the "Grapevine," so if you turn in just before 11:30 you should be good.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
Hopefully you'll keep Jeb in power (will you have room for a bunch of Cheddar Brains should Doyle, toil, boil and trouble win up here and challenge Sweden for the world's highest taxes?)
To: txzman
Did you hear Hannity today? He had a list of illegal and unethical activities by the Dems this year that was longer than my arm.Sean is doing a damn fine job.
To: July 4th
Thanks. I'll have to either stay awake or tape it.
To: SteveAustin
My aunt works in a home for mentally-retarded people.
The workers at this home cast the ballots for all the residents.
One guess which party.

Earlier today, I sent Brit an impassioned plea for him to please talk about this story today - I told him he is our only hope. I'm not saying I am responsible for him bringing it up, but maybe I helped a little bit. At least I hope that's true.
I have been firing off emails all day today to editors and journalists in states where we know fraud is going on as we speak. I hope other freepers will do the same.
To: Dr. Frank
The party of fraud, illegalities, outright felonies, treason, etc., etc.?
To: SteveAustin
This kind of stuff has been going on for years with the rats...This is how they conduct their lives, their politics and the welfare of America...

"We saw Angela Arrington, Jim Doyle's Kenosha County campaign coordinator. She told us she was planning to speak to the residents." I just watched the video from the TMJ4 newssite and when I watched it, I thought this woman, Angela Arrington, looked familiar. Indeed, I've met her. She was in my bar review class this summer, and was recently sworn in as an attorney in the state of Wisconsin. See her attorney listing HERE.

Ditto, I even sent him the original Journtinel story, with this buried after, of all things, Charlton Heston coming to town to campaign for McCallum, and the location of the print version, page 3B (the local section). This is after:
- A front-page story regarding a McCallum ad asking for an investigation into Doyle for using state workers for campaign work, the same charge that Doyle's office is helping the Dane County DA use to gut the Assembly Republican leadership.
- A page 2A "award-winning" Spivak and Bice (or is that Bivak and Spice) column on the latest "misstep" McCallum had with the state air fleet (taking his son along to a soccer tournament where McCallum had business, which was reimbursed 7 MONTHS AGO). Side note; I predicted that EVERY McCallum "misstep" would receive front-2-pages coverage, while Doyle's UNCOMPENSATED use of a state plane to pick up a campaign check was buried on the inside-back cover of the metro section.
- A page 1B (Metro) section "hit piece" disguised as a "what the peeple think" series.

It keeps on getting curiouser and couriouser. Too bad that (a) it's the attorney general that's running this corrupt campaign, (b) the local DA is on the corrupt campaign's steering committee and (c) there's no federal "hook" to bring in a reinvigorated US Attorney's office.
