MILWAUKEE - Concern has risen Tuesday about what one group may be doing to get people to the polls during the upcoming recall elections this month.

The City of Milwaukee's election director says she has seen large groups arriving to vote early at City Hall.

Now, questions about whether a liberal-leaning group is using free food to win votes in a recall race.

TODAY'S TMJ4 obtained video of a get out the vote party.

The video shows food being served and vans being used to take people to the polls.

People were putting in votes in the Senate recall race pinning Whitefish Bay Democratic challenger Sandy Pasch against River Hills Republican incumbent Senator Alberta Darling.

The group behind the picnics is called "Wisconsin Jobs Now," a coalition of pro-union and community groups.

The question: is the group breaking the law by offering the combination of free rides and free food.

Voter fraud ...

Golly, which party has a history of voter fraud? Lemme take a wild guess .... Um, Democrats?

Charge them with the crime committed, add Treason to the charge, then haul out the garbage.

Considering the democrats’ aim, this makes total sense. Soon everything will come from big brother.

Sure, but you can tell it's only a recall election, in a general election they use cartoons of Kools and six packs of Colt 45.

Most of their voters won't get out of bed for a free lunch.

And just how does Wisconsin Jobs Now know that the people who are eating their FREE food are voting their way?

People need to pay attention to what is going on in Wisconsin, as this is the recipe that Obama will use to get re-elected.

These recall elections are being orchestrated directly from "the top" - i.e. Obama's Organizing for America. There is precious little local involvement in the attempts to get legitimately elected Republicans booted for the sin of eliminating a $3.6 Billion deficit and balancing the state budget without raising taxes or laying off workers.

They are pulling out all the stops--outright lies in negative ads, robo calls to Republicans telling them the election is on a different day, food for votes, and direct (illegal) candidate coordination with shady third party groups

The recall areas are crawling with paid volunteers from other states, and many millions of dollars have been spent to overturn the will of the people.

The exact same thing is happening on the far side of Lake Michigan.

If the food represents more than $1 it is against the law. But, the Dems do this every election and they never get nailed for it. Remember "Smokes for votes"? That was Milwaukee. And then we had "Bingo Doyle" (the previous governor) who gave out ice cream and free quaters to the disabled so they could play Bingo at a party outside a room where they could vote.

I ask you.. would you get on one of those buses and listen to their propaganda..? Afterwards you'd have to take a bath in tomato juice. Don't be fooled, the souls getting on those buses vote like the brain dead drowns they are.

Easy, just give them a printout of the candidate to vote for and ask them to compare the spelling to the one on the ballot.
