SO... you believe that the ends justifies the means.

AND, you present Investigation by Declaration to be factual - yes, I'm sure you had this discussion, and you are always truthful and honest... Really? It's called hearsay and doesn't stand in Court -

Proof -Please.

To be fair, the voted from the City of Brookfield had been counted -- just not included in the Waukesha County tally that was announced late that evening. It made a close election even more contentious.

@Richard Head -- Please give me proof of the sort of election fraud that involves presenting oneself as an already registered voter on the rolls and voting in his/her stead. Not a fraudulent registration, but actual vote-stealing.

Great video Steve. It should be a wake up call to all that Voter ID, while not perfect, would begin to correct some of the abuses plaguing our current elections.

I've put together a montage of the highlights - ENJOY!

Wisconsin Democrats -Don't let the FACTS get in the way of your declaratory opinions! The louder you shout, the more true it is! That's what TV Programming and the Public Fool system taught you!

Once again Francis you seem to fantasize about the true facts of this case in Waukesha. Either you don't know the real truth, or affraid your story won't have the wow factor unless you make up your own results. Which is it?

When you can't rebut the fact - ATTACK -ATTACK-ATTACK! Besides, this is Patch, where the Ad-Hominem attack reigns supreme, and most posters don't know the difference....

"Election fraud in America is no laughing matter. Florida election officials have discovered that the state's voter polls have 53,000 dead voters still registered to vote.1 That's a whole city of dead voters still "eligible" to vote – more than the entire population of Pensacola, Florida!

Unfortunately, in some U.S. cities voter fraud has been so common and so pervasive for so long that it's more likely to be a punch line than a felony.

Then there's Chicago's interstate rival, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Police Department was directed to investigate voter fraud that occurred during the 2004 presidential election. In 2008, the MPD task force issued a troubling and extensive report.

Continued....

According to the study, 16 workers from the John Kerry campaign committed felonies that went unprosecuted by Wisconsin authorities. The task force identified a single property where 128 different people were registered to vote, and each one was signed up for the 2004 election. The report cited cases of double-voting, "ghost" voting by dead people, and uncounted absentee ballots that were discovered only after the election was over and the winner declared. The task force questioned the voter registration practices of a number of homeless shelters, and found homeless individuals registered in multiple locations. With no photo ID required to vote in Wisconsin at the time, anyone could have cast multiple ballots simply by knowing the homeless man's name. As the MPD investigation observed, "vote portability and the abject poverty that defines homelessness, make these unfortunate individuals vulnerable to become the tools of voter fraud by those who would exploit the homeless."

How much trouble is it really to get registered and vote?

Before the Voter ID law passed, voter registration used to be a joke. At the polls, anyone could get on the voter roles with a name, address, and someone to vouch that they are being truthful. Away from the polls, voter registration drives would bring in thousands of registrations with no easy way of verifying that the registrants were actually real people. If the address was valid, and the card was properly signed, they were put on the voter list.

Once names are registered, it would seem rather easy to groups like ACORN to mobilize and cast hundreds or thousands of false votes in an election...

Aside from the fake registrations, what prevents people from voting in place of dead people?

With all due respect Mr Tatarowicz, if you do not beleive voter fraud is a fact and wide spread you are contributing to the problem.There are a number of problems that contribute to the fraud .

Back in the 50's when you registered to vote, a policeman would verify your address a week or two later. He would knock on your door and ask who lived there.
It would not work today because homeless people have no physical address.
But they are entitled to a free ID !

The article I linked seems to indicate otherwise. Votes are indeed being cast in the names of dead people...

CowDung –

The only legitimate “dead person” actually voting in any election in Wisconsin that was documented – not prosecuted because he was already dead – was CowDung…

ID would not be so much of a problem if the requirements for obtaining one were not so stringent. Not only must the picture ID prove that you are who you say you are (quite reasonable) but you must prove your US citizenship with a birth certificate, even though you my have done that in the past using legally acceptable methods at the time. For instance, my voter registration goes back to a Wisconsin State ID and presumably a birth certificate that I produced back when I was 21, but from my reading of the law, I will have to produce one again once my current Wisconsin drivers license expires. Just to vote at a poll where I've been registered for over 40 years. If not, I certainly will have to produce one at the DMV to get the 'free' ID once I no longer drive.

No problem for me, because I live out in the 'burbs' where we have a DMV office close by and I have family to get me there. However, this law seems almost to be designed to discourage certain voters.

Well, it was and it is!

Randy:

The Federal REAL ID program requires proof of citizenship for renewal of drivers license. Everyone will have to do it within the next few years...

CowDung –

That’s what congressman Senselessbrenner thought too, when he attached his intrusive and inane Real ID bill to a “must pass” appropriations bill back in 2005… and yet, here we are…

@CowDung -- So non-citizens won't be able to drive? People who can't produce a birth certificate, even though they've been licensed drivers for years, won't be able to drive?

Apparently so.

You need to have one or more of the following:
--Valid U.S. passport or passport card.
--U.S. State or local government issued Certificate of Birth. (Wisconsin will not accept Puerto Rican birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010 in line with Puerto Rico’s law as of October 30, 2010. More information at: www.pr.gov).
--Consular report of birth abroad.
--Valid I-551, permanent resident card (issued by the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. citizenship and immigration services). Non-expiring I-551 (issued 1977-1989) cards are acceptable.
--U.S. Certificate of Naturalization (federal form N-550).
--Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (federal form N-560).
--Employment Authorization Document.
--Unexpired foreign passport with a valid unexpired U.S. visa affixed accompanied by the approved I-94 form documenting the applicants most recent admittance into the U.S.
