Adam Mucklin Charged

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Milwaukee County prosecutors today charged a convicted felon with illegally registering himself and others to vote before he went to prison.

The complaint accuses Adam Mucklin, 22, of registering to vote in June, after he was convicted of battery in April, and after a judge told him he couldn't vote because he was a convicted felon. Later in June, Mucklin signed up to work as a paid voter registrar for the Community Voters Project, something else he couldn't do as a convicted felon, the complaint says.

Great.

Mucklin is charged.

How many other "Mucklins" are out there right now committing fraud?

(Note: To clarify for at least one reader, I am not slandering people with the surname "Mucklin. I was referring to people committing acts like Adam Mucklin when I wrote, "How many other 'Mucklins' are out there right now committing fraud?")

I hate to think about it. I don't like knowing that the results of the election in Wisconsin will be tainted.

I can't stand the fact that Democrats like Gov. Jim Doyle and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and their lib media flunkies have pushed hard to deny the problem of fraud and stall efforts to clean up Wisconsin's voter rolls.

They claim that such efforts are politically motivated.

Explain to me how working to assure the integrity of elections by following the law and cracking down on fraud is a political matter.

UPDATE: More, from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

As with [Endalyn] Adams, leaders of the voters project and ACORN say they caught much of the fraud and alerted authorities before handing in the registration cards. The groups also say the cases represent a small percentage of the dozens of workers and tens of thousands of voters signed up.

Republicans have focused on the fraud charges to press their case for tighter voting rules, including photo identification for voters. Democrats have countered that investigations have found no evidence of widespread or organized vote fraud, and they argue that photo ID requirements would discourage some legitimate voters.

At a news conference, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he was doing everything possible to ensure a fair and clean election.

Reince Priebus, chairman of the state GOP, said the city should be pushing the state for more extensive checks on voters.

I agree with Priebus. The city should be doing more.

I don't think that Barrett is "doing everything possible to ensure a fair and clean election."

Officials in Nevada get it. Yesterday, they raided the Las Vegas headquarters of ACORN.

Here's the thing:

[DEMOCRAT Secretary of State Ross Miller's] spokesman, Bob Walsh, said investigators were using information from various sources, including the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Nevada.

"You don't have to read too many cop novels to know that sometimes people will tell you a grain of truth to try to hide the rest of the truth," Walsh said. "I'm certainly not suggesting that ACORN is that nefarious, but at the same time just because they handed over 50 to you doesn't mean there aren't 150 others out there."

I'm afraid that Barrett and Doyle and other Wisconsin Dems get it, too.

They like ACORN.

Judging by their actions, it appears to me that they have no interest in setting up roadblocks to voter fraud.

They are not "doing everything possible to ensure a fair and clean election."

Barrett and Doyle and their fellow Dems are derelict in their duty and violatin the public trust.
