Voter Fraud in Milwaukee

Listening to Mark Belling right now; he's saying that 10,000 people who were given ballots in Milwaukee this past election had voter registration cards that nobody can read - to the point that they're suspected of being phony. Another several thousand voter-verification cards may turn out to be "non-deliverable", meaning they probably are non-existent addresses.

Belling is saying that there were possibly 25,000 fraudulent votes in total in Milwaukee.

Kerry won the state of Wisconsin by about 11,000 votes.

Isn't that interesting?

We in Wisconsin have long suspected that Milwaukee is a hotbed of fraudulent voting. Here's an article from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that says in some wards, turnout was 110% of the estimated voting age population. In one ward, Kerry received 99% of the vote.

Hmmmmmm.

UPDATE: Should mention here that we have registration at the polls in Wisconsin. No I.D. is required to vote, if you're already registered. It's just ripe for fraud.

Wow! That's incredible, although not surprising. Keep us informed if any brave or honorable person decides to investigate further.

And here I thought from watching CNN that voter fraud only happened in Ohio and Florida and other Bush states!

With all the technology we have, it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to make voting completely honest and simple, but politicians always complicate matters.

If you're 18 and a citizen, you should go to your assigned polling place, prove that you are both 18 and a citizen, and vote correctly. If you fail to go to the correct polling place, fail to prove that you are 18 and a citizen, and fail to vote correctly...why should your vote count? I may be oversimplifying the matter, but how much more complicated could it be?

Hi M.E.

I found this link on one of the Minnesota political bloggers pages: http://lakeshorelaments.blogspot.com/2005/01/milwaukee-voter-fraud-story.html I hope this story is fully investigated!
