More Voter Fraud Claims in Milwaukee

Wisconsin is a battleground state in the presidential election.

It's not surprising that liberal groups are targeting the state for voter registration efforts.

From 620 WTMJ:

ACORN and Community Voters Project are among five liberal groups that have launched big voter registration drives in Milwaukee in preparation for the Nov. 4 presidential election.

Unfortunately, the efforts of both ACORN and Community Voters Project include fraud.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Workers from a second activist organization have been implicated in falsifying Milwaukee voter registration forms, bringing to 15 the number of voter registration workers who could face scrutiny for trying to sign up dead, imprisoned or fictitious voters, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the organizations that paid the workers.

For two of the workers, managers at the Community Voters Project caught much of the fraud, fired the workers and reported the problems before the registration cards were turned in, said Sue Edman, the election commission’s executive director, and Ayodele Carroo, the organization’s national director. That involved 15 or 16 cards, Carroo said.

In a third case, the Election Commission staff found problems with cards turned in by a Community Voters Project worker who already had been fired for unrelated reasons, Edman and Carroo said.

Last week, Edman and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said ACORN had found potential fraud in 200 to 300 cards turned in by ACORN workers. ACORN caught the problems and fired 12 workers before handing the cards over to the commission, ACORN state political director Carolyn Castore said.

It's interesting that to date voter registration workers with liberal groups have been the problem.

It's true that the groups themselves caught much of the fraud. That's to their credit, but it's troubling that instances of fraud are coming from liberal operations.

It's a poor reflection on liberals.

I thought Barack Obama is about change and cleaning up politics. I'm afraid his minions haven't received the memo.
