Wisconsin’s Dramatic Vote Swings Raise Election Integrity Concerns

Interesting article from wisconsin citizens' media cooperative regarding the upcoming Nov 4 Gubernatorial election, and other elections of the past several years....

Are Wisconsinites really so wishy-washy or schizophrenic as to swing back and forth every two years between the extremely diverse platforms and ideals of Obama and Walker, as recent election results might indicate? It seems unlikely, and such counter-intuitive electoral swings can also be red flags for election fraud.

...If they steal our vote, they steal our voice and they steal our power. Stand up and help change election systems in Wisconsin. This is not an issue of “left” vs “right.” It’s “right” vs “wrong.”

I have never found a single person who admitted they voted for Walker in the recall. I have met a handful who admitted to voting for him at first, but were turned against him by the policies he adopted after elected (or kept hidden during the campaign).

There is a corridor from Fond du lac all the way to Waukesha that would rival any southern state for redness.

who gave our current A.G. more votes than were ballots was. She was running the show. She had the ability to remove and or add via her personal computer. I think this is the best example we have of election fraud.

She has, however, become clerk-treasurer for the Town of Waukesha, a less important position. We'll see how she does there.

Ugh.... on a mini vaca last weekend, and drove from Milwaukee to Fish Creek, and on EVERY corner wanker signs, in every farm field too. Just made the ride miserable when it should have been very enjoyable due to the beautiful fall colors. Was sick the whole trip.

another good article by the Coop.

By the way, when are we getting together with the Third Amiga for that drink? Right after the election, to celebrate?

2012 is one I'm willing to forget.

LOL to the viking war queen. Has she already landed here? It looks like it. Maybe we have to create our own emoticon for that.

And let's hope we're celebrating by this time next week! HA, oh wait. This is only Monday. OK, I was jumping the gun a bit. We'll celebrate 8 days from now.
