More Attempted Voter Fraud Discovered in Milwaukee
August 6th, 2008
Workers registering Milwaukee voters for a liberal group turned in hundreds of fabricated forms and many more that were incomplete, raising fears among Republican Party leaders of fraud at the polls.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now fired about a dozen canvassers and alerted the commission to most of the problematic forms. The election commission’s director, Sue Edman, said the workers lost their ability to register voters, and the commission is making sure no incomplete or fabricated forms are entered into the voter database.
Six canvassers have been referred to the district attorney’s office for potential criminal charges, she said.
Of course, imposing stricter requirements on voting, such as requiring voters use a photo id to prove their identity and address would be disenfranchisement, right?
What about the voters whose votes are countered by fraudulent votes at the polls. Are they not disenfranchised?
According to Edman:
Between 1,500 and 2,000 of the registration forms submitted were incomplete while “maybe a couple hundred” were clearly fabricated, she said.
“It was obvious to us that some of them were just making up information to complete the cards,” Edman said.
If any fake registration makes it onto the poll lists, there is no check at the polling place. You just say you are the fabricated voter at the preregistered address and you get a ballot.
Yet, liberal interest groups and their enablers in the media and blogosphere will continue to deny that election tampering is a problem.
And so it continues…
