Jeff Plale, Voter Fraud, and Photo IDs



The "Report of the Investigation into the November 2, 2004 General Election in Milwaukee" delineates that voter fraud in the city of Milwaukee is real.

Fact: The results of the 2004 election were tainted.

The report recommends some simple solutions:

1. Eliminate on-site same day voter registration.

2. Require government-issued identification, such as a photo ID or a social security card, to vote.

Wisconsin Democrats refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They have no interest in doing what they can to assure that Wisconsin elections are clean.

Governor Jim Doyle has put on his blinders.

Yesterday, the Democrats in the the State Senate blocked the efforts of Republicans to restore integrity to Wisconsin's elections.

Wisconsin Senate Republicans tried but failed Thursday to get a vote on making people show photo ID’s at the polls.

Eighteen Democrats voted not to bring up the proposed constitutional amendment and 14 Republicans stood firm in demanding it.

The GOP says voters must identify themselves better to stop fraud. They pointed to a new Milwaukee Police report which outlined numerous problems with the 2004 presidential election.

Democrats have fought off voter ID’s for years, saying it prevents the poor and young adults from casting ballots.

Earlier Thursday a couple Senate Democrats interrupted a news conference the GOP was holding to demand a vote on the measure.

Sen. Spencer Coggs, D-Milwaukee, took issue with the police report.

He said his committee never brought up the matter because it would disenfranchise voters.

The fact that Jeff Plale, senator for the 7th District, would vote against photo IDs is particularly disturbing.

When he was up for reelection, his opponent, Donovan Riley withdrew from the race after it was revealed that he voted twice in the 2000 November election, once in Oconomowoc and once in Chicago.

Yes, Riley voted in Wisconsin, then drove to Illinois and voted again!

At the time, Riley released a statement:

"My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois and it's possible I made a mistake."

That is so lame! No sane person could possibly do that.

So, Plale sails back into office thanks to Riley's fraud. The scandal certainly played a part in securing another term for Plale. As it was, Riley still received 26% of the vote, after he withdrew from the race in shame.

It's stunning that Plale is playing the part of a partisan hack on the issue of voter fraud and photo IDs.

Bottom line: Wisconsin has a Dem governor and Dem senators with a vested interest in maintaining Wisconsin as a land of opportunity when it comes to voter fraud.

Until steps are taken to clean up Wisconsin's elections, every voter in Wisconsin is being disenfranchised by Democrats.

Way to go, Gov. Doyle and Sen. Plale and the rest of the Dems in the State Senate!

A new Milwaukee Police report? You make it sound as though the report were authorized by the department, which, you must know is also accountable to the mayor.
Neither the chief nor the mayor were shown this report. This was a hack job perpetrated by conservatives ... why else would it have been distributed to Sykes et al, rather than to the people it should have been first distributed.

FYI: The report notes nothing new. There were bureaucratical issues, mistakes made by people who made good faith effort to ensure everyone could vote. There was nothing illegal done.

Mary, you really need to get a grip.

Com'on Lefties: You can't all be that ugly or embarrased too have you pictures taken for photo ID's, or is fact that cheaters and crooks shy away from mug shots taken at their time of arrest?

I think the Dems are truly embarrassing themselves on this issue.

National ID, sounds to much like " Let me see your papers" in a heavy German accent. Where is Liberty?

Who said anything about a "National ID"?

By the way, do you hear "heavy German accents" when you have to show ID to buy cough and cold medicine?
