Democrats: “No, no don’t send anyone to watch the voter fraud!”

This is great to see! Thank you for standing up to the Wisconsin Democrats, AG Van Hollen, they keep voting down true voter ID so there needs to be extra precautions taken to prevent the type of voter fraud that occurred in 2000 and 2004. Let’s hope they send some representatives to the Marquette and Madison campuses.

“Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen’s plan to post state Department of Justice employees at polling places around Wisconsin is drawing fire from Democrats.
…
Van Hollen’s DOJ will send some 50 Division of Criminal Investigation agents and Assistant Attorneys General to polling places in communities across the state. While not providing specific locations, Van Hollen spokesman Bill Cosh said those polls will be in Milwaukee, Madison, Beloit/Janesville, Racine/Kenosha, Waukesha, Superior, Green Bay, Eau Claire, Appleton/Fox Valley, La Crosse, Hudson and Wausau/Stevens Point.

A joint statement was issued Thursday by Assistant Attorney General Roy Korte and DOJ Division of Legal Services Administrator Kevin Potter, who serve as Coordinators of Van Hollen’s Elections Task Force.”The Attorney General and Department of Justice have express authority to enforce the state’s election laws, including those laws that govern what happens on election day,” the statement reads. “Locating Department of Justice staff around the state will ensure that we are available to assist local District Attorneys and law enforcement in the event they have questions or request assistance on election related issues.”

Also, let’s not forget these numbers:

In order of the level of documented fraud, the five worst cities in 2006 were(American Center for Voting Rights):

1. Philadelphia, PA
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. Seattle, WA
4. St. Louis/East St. Louis, MO/IL
5. Cleveland, OH

“Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chairman Joe Wineke on Friday issued a second press release critical of Van Hollen’s plans.” Sen.Fiengold and Gov Doyle chimed in as well. “Noooo don’t watch us!”

A quick web search hasn’t turned up any examples of Republicans complaining about Democratic Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager’s similar effort watch the polls in 2004.
