Milwaukee Vote Fraud Examples

Records from the Milwaukee Election Commission show an absentee ballot for Tuesday's election was requested for Robert L. Anderson Jr., who is registered to vote at 3434 W. St. Paul Ave.

Anderson, a Marine stationed in Hawaii, is not eligible to vote as a resident of 3434 W. St. Paul Ave. because that address is for A&A Transmissions, an auto repair business owned by his father, Robert L. Anderson Sr. State law says you can only be registered to vote at your residence.

Anderson is not eligible to vote as a Milwaukee resident because his permanent address, according to his father, is with him - in Muskego.

More than 17,500 requests for absentee ballots have been received in Milwaukee, an increase of more than 70% over the 10,017 absentee ballots actually cast in the 2000 presidential election. West Allis, Mequon and Kenosha are among other municipalities where absentee requests have exceeded the 2000 tallies.

For people with limited mobility, such as Gladys Johnson of Milwaukee, receiving and casting ballots by mail is helpful.

"I wanted to vote, and I said, 'I'm not going to miss it,' " said Johnson, who recently had heart surgery.

Several Milwaukee voters who cast absentee ballots praised the system this week, pointing out that they received their ballots for Tuesday's election more than a week ago. Now that voters no longer need a reason to vote absentee after a law change, many voters are taking advantage of the convenience.

"It's just one less thing I've got to worry about," said Daniel Bruskiewitz, who voted by mail because he plans to be vacationing in Mexico on election day.

But with the surge in absentee voting and flaws in the voter registration system, a Journal Sentinel check of absentee ballot requests made in Milwaukee found problems. In all, the Journal Sentinel visited 40 addresses and made other checks of the absentee ballot process. The inquiries also turned up:

Joanne Enerson of the 9400 block of W. Concordia Ave. said she and her husband, David, each received two absentee ballots. Enerson said she returned the two extras.

"I wouldn't think of voting twice," Enerson said. "I'm sure there are some people who would." A south side resident who works as a poll worker also said she received two ballots and returned one.

Lisa Artison, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, said a couple of double mailings have occurred.

Absentee ballots are marked with a voter's name and address, and the system should catch any attempt at casting more than one ballot for the same person at the same address.

Sherika Booker, of the 2300 block of N. 16th St., produced an absentee ballot she received in the mail but said she did not request it. She said she probably would not use it and would instead vote at the polls, though she has not voted before.

Artison said the city received a request to mail absentee ballots to Booker for both the September primary and Tuesday's election and did so.

Keith Wunrow of the 1700 block of N. Prospect Ave., who lives in Tucson, Ariz., much of the year, is on the permanent list to receive an absentee ballot but hadn't received one as of Thursday. He said the Milwaukee Election Commission told him Wednesday that many absentee ballots have not been mailed.

Wunrow plans to return to Milwaukee on Monday, a week earlier than he had planned, so that he can vote in person Tuesday.

"I find it to be a very important election to vote," Wunrow said. "They all are, but this is the most important election in my lifetime."

The increase in absentee balloting is likely to cause complications on election day, as well.

Fitchburg City Clerk Karen Peters, president of the Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association, said the major challenge posed by the increase of absentee ballots is the time it will take to process them Tuesday.

Poll workers must confirm that the ballots are signed by the voter and a witness who saw the voter fill out the ballot, she said.

In Fitchburg, a Madison suburb where 800 absentee ballots were cast in 2000, requests have been received for 2,000 absentee ballots and 1,000 more requests are expected, Peters said. She said the polls likely will be so busy Tuesday that she will instruct workers process absentee ballots after the polls close.

She said the polls likely will be so busy Tuesday that she will instruct workers process absentee ballots after the polls close."

This is where I live. Fitchburg only has about 20,000 residents total. It's not really a town, it's just made up of surrounding areas that aren't other towns (like Verona or Oregon).

The other day my dad went to town hall and asked for a list of deputy registrars. The list was more than 4 pages long. The clerk said that it was unprecedented. Normally the list only has about 10 names on it.

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud

1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).

2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).

3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)

4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).

5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)

6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).

7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).

8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).

9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).

10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."
