Isn't "aiding and abetting" illegal?

So the liberal Sheriff won’t enforce Wisconsin law. He should be fired.

Another so called "sheriff" refusing to do his job. There seems to be a lot of that going around these days. Probably a union thing.

I guess this helps explain why Sheriff Joe Arpaio is so popular. He's one of a kind. He takes his jobs seriously and makes sure it is getting done.

Well I hope that Gov Scott Walker and his Repub AG would get off their asses and publicly blast this Dane Cty sheriff AND declare that he will be charged with criminal conduct & negligence unless he publicly states that he apologizes and will follow the law. I like Gov Walker..but he is far too complacent & laid back. He lets these rogue judges & rogue law enforcement just run rough shod over him. As much as I hate the demoRATs, try refusing to enforce a liberal law in a state with a demoRAT governor & AG, and they will file multiple lawsuits against you so fast, it would make your head spin.

Come on Walker....grow some balls and start fighting back!

If they have a felony conviction on their records, their names are on a special list which is at each polling place (covering that municipality). Their names also should have been purged from the poll book. In actual fact, the person registering new voters has the felon list and is supposed to check it when each new person fills out registration papers. Nobody else sees the list — just the registrar.

In actual fact, however, if it is a busy election with long lines (like the 2008 Presidential) it would be easy for someone to slip through the cracks. It’s one more thing for the registrar to check, and most of the polling places rotate jobs every hour. Therefore, a new person at that duty station may not be up to speed the first half hour of registering people.

There were a couple of people caught in a previous election and prosecuted this past year. Of course their votes had already been counted.

The law in Wisconsin is that a felon may not vote until they are “off paper”, IOW they are no longer on probation.

But I’ll still be arrested when I break the law right?

Hmmm, gives me something to check at the polling station I work at when it’s time to run the absentee ballots.

In Wisconsin an individual serving jail time for a felony or under parole or supervision for a felony may not cast a ballot.

Then again, they may.

Wouldn’t this make him an accessory to a crime?

Trust me—Think thru your comment, please!

There probably isn’t ONE SINGLE jail in the entire country that doesn’t have inmates who are not ALREADY felons from PRIOR convictions!!!

I passed this article on the the folks in charge of overseeing elections in Fitchburg. They hadn’t heard of this, but said they’d be meeting to figure out how best to respond.

At least one town will be ready to deal with this stunt.

Contact Govenor Walker’s office...find out what they are doing, what we can do as citizens, to stop this Sheriff. Go to Wisconsin’s freeper locale page and leave a message for the folks in Wisconsin to make this a big issue and do whatever they can to get rid of this sheriff and/or stop him from highjacking the vote. C’mon Wisconsin, and the rest of us, let’s send this info to every conservative talk show host and see what can be done. It’s vote fraud, and we have to scream it loud and clear and crush the aholes who attempt it.
