Obama Campaign Asks Wis DOJ For Action on GOP Voter Suppression Plans

Can't the directly ask US DoJ to intervene where there are violations
of federal election laws?

Milwaukee D.A. asked the A.J. for help investigating John Doe... and he said no....

The slimy repugs he is trying to be a gentleman.

That's why just a vote every 4 years doesn't solve these problems. It's a game the GOP has done an excellent job on. Most are zealots and intend to create a theocracy to replace secular government. They are well-funded. All we can do is get involved and stay involved. One election for POTUS does not change the facts on the ground. Democrats must turn out in every contest, from the school boards to the judges to the county commissions to the governor of every state.

And yes, he left a loft of Bush holdovers in place.

I'm ready for UN forces, or maybe the 101st Airborne.

Or just somebody get me out of here.

But if you can hang on til spring and make it to Lake Superior, we can smuggle you to the North Shore...

Fran Tarkenton was always my favorite QB (really!) and I love the Twins.

Some Wisconsin fishing licenses would make the time in Wisconsin waters more interesting.

Done!

won't do a thing but laugh about the request with his buddies Walker and crew. He's as crooked as they come. He ran a very dirty and negative campaign himself, so he's not doing anything about this since he approves of such .

So this A.J. course of action on this topic or any response is going to be interesting...

votes too....

Van Holler is nothing more than Scott Walker's bitch.

He's part of the problem, not the solution. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in on it.

The Wisconsin GOP is more corrupt than the Mafia.

And then find that the only cop on the beat is Dracula.

Mitt Romney’s campaign has been training poll watchers in Wisconsin with highly misleading — and sometimes downright false — information about voters’ rights.

Here are four misleading or incorrect pieces of information disbursed by the Romney campaign:

CLAIM: Any “person convicted of treason, a felony, or bribery” isn’t eligible to vote.

FACT: Once a person who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, including probation and fines, that person is eligible to vote.

CLAIM: “The ONLY Acceptable Forms of “Proof of Residency”.

FACT: The list used is incomplete. There are many other documents people can use to prove residency that are not included, such as letters from public schools, student loan papers, correspondence with a Native American tribe in Wisconsin, vehicle registration, and food stamp correspondances. In addition, the list fails to mention that homeless voters may use an affidavit from a public or private social service agency as proof of residency.

CLAIM: “If a handicapped voter is unable to come into the polls to vote, an assistant can deliver the ballot to the voter if the CEI verifies the elector’s proof of residency.”

FACT: Under Wisconsin law, the CEI (Chief Election Inspector) does not have to verify proof of residency so long as the voter is registered.

CLAIM: “Election Observers should not assist .”

FACT: A voter can ask for assistance from anyone, including a poll watcher, so long as the voter initiates the request and does not engage in electioneering.

the rules...

Great post midnight.

a paper trail? I'm frankly unaware of how these things work legally, but I trust Van Hollen as far as I can throw him.

After when informed they do not respond, or how they respond defines ones next step.

“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”

As a former GWB US attorney and slut firmly in the pocket of the GOP JBH is now on notice with the current administration for the first time. They have given him a pass... till now. He has not recognized the needs of his constituency nor written law.

and welcome to DU uwbadgerdem.

Wait a minute, I think I read once that there is a Federal Attorney General with a whole US Justice Department? Anyone know anything about this?

Somebody on an earlier post stated how this wished RFK was here to sent dozens of guys in skinny ties to arrest these motherfucking fascists. God, I wish Eric Holder wasn't such a wimp!

And if we do win the Presidential election, at least, then we'll have four more years of Eric "Lost" Holder to put up with.

happens....
