The DOJ, FBI, are going to be involved. Well, call it wishing.

It is wishing.

AG Ashcroft has demonstrated no interest in pursuing corruption in government.

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.

Dem lawyers will also litigate just enough Senate races to keep control. Remember, the soft money gravy train comes screeching to a halt on Nov 6, and if Dems are out of power everywhere, they will be hurting.

this is dynamite! This needs to be sent to Fox News, Rush, et.al, ASAP.

Want to tell lots of people about this? Go here:

Ignorance Making You Ill? Cure It!

for links, tools, & instructions about how to contact a pile of different people, and how to send a link to this story right here ( or anywhere else ) to a "mass email" using Outlook Express.


Do be advised that since I increased my volume of mass emails to letters to editors I have gotten return volleys of virus attacks- my ISP filters them out before the get to my PC, but if yours does not, take appropriate precautions to guard your PC.

I take this as a positive- my emails are simply links with no editorial content; so the other side must fear & loath the information even reaching the public.

Want to strike back at the malicious & childish clowns who send viri? Look here:

-http://www.all-nettools.com/tools1.htm--

... for online traceroutes and other help, so you can email all the ISP's in the chain that propagated the virus, and let them investigate.

Yes, but Lyndon Johnson takes the prize...in the 1948 race for the U.S. Senate that he stole from a popular governor, Coke Stevenson, almost 200 dead persons voted for him in alphabetical order and using the same handwriting.

I called WTMJ this morning, and the person who answered said that the TV station usually doesn't put their stories up on their website. www.touchtmj4.com

They did say however they would "talk with their supervisor" about putting this one up. Let's see if it happens.

This story has "legs", it just needs our local Milwaukee talk radio guys, Belling and Sykes to run with it today, then by tomorrow it will hit the national radar screen.

So disappointed your story didn't have a url to copy/paste, that we could send it to other media outlets.

Want a walk down Milwaukee Memory Lane?

(from Election 2000)
By ABC, Brian Ross "Nov. 13 — In Wisconsin, Al Gore leads George W. Bush by about 6,000 votes, but Republicans there have raised the possibility they will charge voter fraud, and Milwaukee’s Democratic district attorney is investigating. Dozens of students at Marquette University in Milwaukee are now openly boasting they voted more than once on Nov. 7.

“I realized it wouldn’t be impossible for me to vote again, so that’s what I did,” said one student who wished to remain nameless despite appearing on camera for World News Tonight. “I ended up voting four times that day for myself.”

It’s not known who got the extra votes, but students say officials did little to prevent it. “Their IDs weren’t being checked, proof of address wasn’t being checked,” said Michael McGraw, an editor for the Tribune campus newspaper, who says a canvass by Tribune reporters found 141 students who admitted to voting more than once — a felony offense. “It kind of struck them, like, ‘felony offense? What are you talking about? I just voted twice, that’s not a big deal.’”

Trading a Smoke for a Vote
Also under investigation are allegations that the Gore campaign used cigarettes to get residents of homeless shelters to vote. “Now that’s a criminal act if it’s proven,” says Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann. “It’s bribery.”

The ABC affiliate in Milwaukee caught Gore campaign workers handing out cigarettes to homeless residents after they had been brought to a polling place to vote.

Connie Milstein, a major Gore supporter and the wife of a New York multimillionaire, told the station she had been asked by the Gore campaign to come to Milwaukee.

“Wisconsin is a very key state for the Democratic Party,” explained Milstein. “I’m here representing the Gore-Lieberman campaign.”

The district attorney says there is evidence the Democratic group went to at least three homeless shelters, where residents said cigarettes were used to get them to vote.

Willy Jackson, who is currently staying at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, voted for the first time. “To sell out for a pack of cigarettes,” he said. “That just don’t seem right.”

Today, outside her Park Avenue home in New York, Milstein said she had done nothing wrong. “I’m an ordinary Park Avenue matron.” She insisted she was in Milwaukee as “an ordinary campaign worker.” Milstein would not say who sent her to Milwaukee, and the Democratic Party maintains she went to the homeless shelters on her own."

Does Milwaukee have the same District Attorney? Maybe you can call his office and ask what happened in the Connie Milstein investigation. Ask if they've received complaints about illegal election activities this time around.

"whatever it takes"

More to the point, their attitude is as follows:
"The liberal elite ideas are far too important to be entrusted to the chance that a democratic election will put the elites in power.
The power to implement these ideas is far too important to rely on the hoi paloi (riffraff) of the general voting populace.
Therefor, any means by which liberals attain and maintain power are "fair". After all, a fixed rule set is so... rigid and closed minded.
"

Did I hit it on the head?

I have a very close relative that happens to work for the state of Wisconsin as a social worker. Her job is to investigate nursing homes in the state to make sure that they everything is ok. (That the facility is up to code, caring for their residents in a humane manner, getting the care they need, etc.)

I think influencing, bribing mentally retarded residents, in the care of these nursing homes borders on abuse, don't you?

I think I will give her a call....

But, but... Kim Plache said tonight that there was no vote fraud in Wisconsin! Plache wouldn't know legal from illegal if it bit her in the A$$! LOL!

WOW - given the chuckwalla's criminal activity, I didn't think things could go much lower...I was wrong!

I worked in an institution very similar to this in Milwaukee for a while and I can tell you when you begin to prey upon and manipulate those that are bascially trusting of everyone and unable to make decisions for themselves for your own power grab, you have totally left the realm of decency...humanity for that matter!

What I'm wondering, is which criminal justice authorities will be lining up to investigate and/or charge this case?

The rats are sick and getting sicker, mainly because their illness goes unchecked by the law. Hell, there is no law when it comes to rats and elections.

The temptation is to suggest that the GOP "fight fire with fire."

But, we all know what would happen then...

620 WTMJ-AM had a segment at the top of the hour newscast. Sounded like this caught some attention and might come under investigation. Had sound bites from Jay Heck from Common Cause.

I would be surprised if Charlie doesn't cover this. Will try to call in if he does. Home today with a killer cold.

Nice post.

Sounds like this could be the shot in the arm McCallum's campaign needs if this story gets significant and continued coverage in WI.
