NAACP Finds More Votes Than Voters In GOP Suberbs!

Hats off to the local NAACP for digging in the records of largely Republican areas and finding some of the same mistakes that they are belly aching over in Milwaukee. The communities that they found problems in were: Oak Creek, Hartland, Vernon, and Lac La Belle. Where are the investigations into these places? Why are they singling out and disparaging Milwaukee? Could it be P-O-L-I-T-C-S?

State GOP are pretending that there is some massive voting fraud in Milwaukee when it is likely just human error and an overwhelmed system. Now they are using this as a rallying cry to suppress democratic leaning voters....excuse me...they want to require voter ID at the polls.

1. Isn't voter id required?

I had to show mine this last election.

2. Not in Wisconsin...

The argument seems to be moving toward "both sides did it"... not very comforting...

3. Okay, but this is just a link to the blog, which says nada.

Just says NAACP found....

So, where is the real article with the details? Gimme the facts!

(I can get verbiage anywhere.)

"Yet Milwaukee is the only community where voters and election officials have been disparaged and accused of incompetence and criminal behavior," local NAACP President Jerry Ann Hamilton said at a news conference. "We are unaware of any ongoing election investigation in these communities. . . . It's unfair to single out Milwaukee."

Hamilton said she believes the voting problems in Milwaukee and elsewhere can be blamed on human error, not fraud. The group opposes the push to institute a photo ID requirement for all voters.
