"Nothing points to fraud in 9 double voting cases"
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 09:02 AM by sybylla
But that won't keep pukes from tilting at the electoral fraud windmills and investigating a conspiracy that doesn't exist.

From the MJS article

Nothing points to fraud in 9 double voting cases
But U.S. attorney expects other charges in election investigation

Investigators found no evidence of fraud in nine cases of potential double voting cited this month by the state GOP, but U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic indicated Monday the ongoing investigation will likely lead to more charges.

The state Republican Party used U.S. Postal Service change of address records to track voters from city to city.

At an Aug. 9 news conference, party officials said that they had found nine cases where people were listed as having voted in the November presidential election in Milwaukee while also casting ballots in Chicago, Madison or Minneapolis.

Biskupic said investigators reviewed each case cited and found assorted clerical errors and other inconsistencies, but no fraud.
***snip***


Even Biskupic had to back off of the fraud charges. But according to Rick Wiley, executive director of the state Republican Party, they're going to keep "investigating."

Yeah, tell that to the young man in Chicago who is joining the Franciscan order. These puke nutjobs stood uninvited on his parents front yard in Milwaukee and in a press conference accused him of voter fraud. Turns out it was just a clerical error (no pun intended) and where's the apology? Why is the Urinal Sentinal soft peddling it in the article? Where's the parry and thrust? They've been smacking the pukes around on this voting fraud issue since it came out and yet when they have a chance, they won't make the killing blow.

Media whores anyway. :eyes:


on edit: a link to the DPW press release calling on the pukes to apologize

1. It's too bad I didn't know about Graber's "press conference" on Astor
That's just a few blocks from me. I would have loved to have seen that in person.

5. Great idea
FB.c is a great place for an article on this. Here in central Wisconsin we have heard very little about this unless it is inflamatory BS from the pukes. Fighting Bob would get the message out to progressives in the far corners who in turn will spread it.
