David Buerger - GAB

David Buerger, elections specialist with Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board, has some explaining to do when it comes to the manner in which he conducts himself.

Buerger is an employee of this allegedly nonpartisan body, yet his very public online behavior is anything but professional and nonpartisan.

From MacIver News Service:

The same employee who admitted the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board would deem all recall signatures valid, even if they were signed Mickey Mouse or Adolf Hitler, has engaged in online activity that could lead some to question his impartiality.

David Buerger, an elections specialist with the GAB used his Twitter account to praise a blog posting wherein Republican State Senator Mary Lazich was called “Crazy Mary.”

“OMG! Headline winner…” Buerger tweeted last month, and then included a link to the blog post.

Just this week Buerger linked to a story about the two-year long investigation by the Democratic District Attorney in Milwaukee that may or may not involve the activities of Scott Walker’s Milwaukee County Executive staff.

“Ruh-roh… John Doe investigation on the move: ”

This doesn't exactly bolster my faith in the GAB to carry out its duties fairly.
Last night, the Maciver Institute, whose twitter handle is @MacIverWisc, retweeted Buerger’s questionable missives. This brought an immediate reaction from the elections specialist.

Buerger, who uses the Twitter handle @buergd, later blocked the MacIver Institute fro accessing his twitter feed. He does note in his twitter profile that, “My opinions are my own (not G.A.B. official).”

This is really getting crazy. This is NOT what democracy looks like.

We have to defeat these partisan hacks and keep Wisconsin on the path to prosperity.

In my opinion, Buerger is not fit to serve in his current position.

The people of Wisconsin need to have faith in the electoral process.

Right now, I'm feeling disenfranchised.

However, I'm sure Adolph Hitler and Mickey Mouse and Jim Doyle and the Leftist minions are feeling very comfortable.
