Doyle Campaign Questioned About Party for Disabled
Questions have been raised about a bingo party at a mentally disabled care facility in Kenosha sponsored by Democratic campaign workers.
A Milwaukee television station reports residents of the Dayton care facility in Kenosha attended the party in which they were given free food, drink and some quarters for bingo. Then they were urged by Jim Doyle campaign workers to go to another room and vote by absentee ballot.
Jay Heck from the government watchdog organization Common Cause says it appears the mentally disabled residents were being manipulated for their votes on behalf of Jim Doyle.
The state Elections Board has referred the matter to the Kenosha County district attorney.
