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.

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. I hope some of his callers are right - that this has gone on for too many years and is actually starting to disgust some of the swing and even Democratic voters.
What am I saying?!? Democrats can never get low enough to get disgusted! LOL.

Cut and paste this into your To: box in your email or the Bcc: field if you want each email to look individual. let the networks know this bias is unacceptable

My letter:
The last few weeks have had several stories about voter fraud, but I haven't seen any specials on your program about it. Why? This has nationwide ramifications.
You've had: Double voting in New York and Florida
Illegal voters crossing into Wisconsin
A report from WTMJ in Wisconsin showing mentally
handicapped people being bribed to vote.
Illegal voting on the indian reservations of South Dakota
In the 2000 elections, your programs made a great fuss about the "disenfranchisement" of the people, but now you are letting these stories just pass as though they were of no great worry. Several states in the 2000 election were decided by less than 1,000 votes. These stories show that the American people are having their will diluted and perhaps overturned by voter fraud.
Because most of this voter fraud seems to favor the Democrats, I can only infer your silence as confirmation of "bias" that has been the topic of so many recent books.
Please look into this more closely to see how widespread this is.

I live in Milwaukee. I didn't see the news tonight. Was the reporting strong enough to cause Doyle to resign? How did WTMJ handle it? Did they seem to be angry about it or did they seem to want to give Doyle a pass?
To: SteveAustin
Thats ok watch the Wi attorney general prosecute this...
Oh thats right....He's running for Gov.... and already failed to investigate or prosecute his buddy Chavala...

To: SteveAustin
If you live in Wisconsin though you have to see this...there is the 62 year old Doyle poll worker, wearing a big Packers sweatshirt, serving pieces of Danish roll to all these tragically disabled people, and then herding them to the "side room" to cast their ballots. I was so stunned at the whole thing, I didn't take in the whole first part of the story, where it appeared that the Doyle workers were giving them small amounts of money and running a bingo game for the people. I do not know how much outrage will come of this, but it is a very sad commentary. The residents of this home had no idea what they are doing or what was going on.
This will all somehow be swept under the media rug. It always is with the Democrats.

I'm really not up-to-snuff on what the Democratic Underground thinks about this kind of behavior. What is their general feeling about Democrat fraud, etc.? Does anyone know?

SteveAustin,
Please keep us up to date on this story. I went to their website, but found nothing of this story anywhere. I went to the radio and newspaper websites and found nothing on voter fraud anywhere. Are these all liberal newspapers, tv and radio stations in Milwaukee?

So Jim Doyle is the "sitting" Attorney General??
How embarassing is that?? Who's going to arrest the AG - certainly not Jim Doyle!!
Rush will have a field day with this tomorrow.
In fact, Rush has been saying the dems are so desperate to hold onto their power - they will do "whatever it takes" to get elected.
You know what else I've been noticing lately? The local stations are not following the lead of the networks.

My guess is Democrats think that "whatever it takes" is ok by them. This fraud is going on all over the country and needs to be prosecuted.

Felony charges have been flying right and left (literally) through the top eschalon of the State Senate and Assembly stemming from charges that campaign work was done on state time. It's been documented that Doyle has done the same thing multiple times over (as did one of the DA's - a Dem - that brought the charges against the Repubs) but you don't hear word one about this from the press.

We need a print source for this story. I looked at the TMJ website but saw nothing on this. It's hard to spread the word to the major media when the source is someone who saw a story on TV (no offense to SteveAustin--I'm glad you caught the story).

The Democrats are cheating, obliterating the Constitutional rights of voters and the intention and the 'rule' of law. They are totally undermining our Country.
Think the Repubs should be screaming 'halt'. ..and until all is fixed; just hold the elections.
This IS treason at the ballot box and the Demrats are guilty as hell. . .and we should not, that is NOT, be accepting the consequences.

Bush won Wisconsin, New Mexico and the popular vote when you take Democrat fraud into account.

Hope this is for real Steve, I forwarded it to several news sources in Wisconsin and Chicago as well as to both campaigns.

Not that it should be part of your letter but know one has mentioned the 100% voter turnout in the Philly ghettoes and the always well known nursing home voter fraud.
100% turnout, no way in H*LL.
Nursing homes don't even give voters "treats", just tricks -- like filling out the ballots for the poor old people, signing their name and never telling them about it. I have no proof of this one, it's strictly from eyewitness on the scene accounts. It would be hearsay in a court of law.
