Frank Walton and Eugene Kane

I wonder if Frank Walton thought he was doing Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane a favor. Maybe he thought Kane wasn't registered to vote.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

State prosecutors charged a former voter registration worker Tuesday with falsifying 54 registration forms — including one for a dead voter, one for a prisoner and one for Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane.

Frank Walton, 29, of Oak Creek is the third voter registration worker in three weeks to face charges. Like the others, he was paid by the Community Voters Project, one of several politically liberal organizations that launched massive voter registration drives in Milwaukee in advance of the Nov. 4 election.

...In Walton's case, investigators found false information on 54 of the 70 forms he submitted, according to a complaint filed by Assistant Attorney General David Maas.

One of those forms was for a voter who had been dead since 1992. When the Election Commission sent the voter a postcard to confirm the registration, his widow sent it back with a note saying he couldn't have registered because he was dead. The Community Voters Project then fired Walton.

Walton filed another form for Kane (listed as "Eugene K." in the complaint), with the Journal Sentinel's address, 333 W. State St., instead of his home and with incorrect personal information. Kane and other voters told investigators they didn't register with Walton.

I wonder how Kane feels about his identity being stolen.

Perhaps it's OK with him. I don't know.

Yet another form was filed for a man in jail. That person's father told a detective that the signature on the voter card didn't look like that of his son.

For others, the voter cards showed driver's license numbers or partial Social Security numbers that didn't match the voters' names. In still other cases, no one with that name could be found at the address listed, or the addresses belonged to businesses, boarded-up buildings and the Milwaukee German Immersion School.

The complaint says Walton told an investigator that after he left the voters project, he went to work for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, another organization whose workers face investigation over voter registration discrepancies, but he was not registering voters for ACORN.

ACORN. ACORN. ACORN.

What's Walton doing for ACORN? He's not registering voters. Maybe he's serving as a community organizer for the group, like Obama did when he worked as a "leadership trainer" for ACORN.

...The cases have spurred political debate. Republicans say they show the need for tighter voting rules. Democrats say fraud is not widespread and tighter rules could discourage voting by such predominantly Democratic groups as minorities and the poor.

On Tuesday, U.S. Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Menomonee Falls), Tom Petri (R-Fond du Lac) and Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) sent letters to Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, and to Wisconsin's two U.S. attorneys, Steven Biskupic and Erik Peterson, calling for an investigation into ACORN.

There should be no political debate when it comes to voter fraud.

This Dem argument that nothing needs to be done about voter fraud because it's supposedly not widespread has always been lame. Breaking the law is breaking the law.

Now, with cases of fraud being discovered across the nation, "coincidentally" in battleground states, that Dem argument is disintegrating.

Millions of Americans have served our country and hundreds of thousands have died protecting our freedoms.

I sincerely believe that the Dems disrespect their sacrifice when they ignore the scourge of voter fraud in this country.

I commend Wisconsin's Republican congressmen for calling for an investigation into ACORN, Barack Obama's ACORN.

"I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career..."
