The Wisconsin Democratic Party on Tuesday called for an investigation into whether a conservative group tried to suppress turnout in next week's recall elections targeting Republican state senators by telling voters that absentee ballots received a day after election day would be counted.
Meanwhile, elections regulators said the Democratic National Committee promised to stop calling voters in one of the Republicans' districts after it gave some of his constituents the wrong election date in automated calls last week.
With control of the state Senate at stake, the two sides have spent millions in the lead-up to the Aug. 9 recall elections targeting six Senate Republicans and the Aug. 16 elections targeting two Democrats. Retaining GOP control of both legislative chambers would allow Republican Gov. Scott Walker to continue to advance his conservative agenda unimpeded, while a net gain of three seats would give Democrats control of the Senate and a check on the governor's power.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party filed a complaint Monday with the state Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections, alleging that absentee ballot applications mailed out by Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group that has spent heavily to help the Republicans, were intended to suppress turnout. And on Tuesday, state Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate sent a request for an investigation to U.S. Attorney James Santelle. His office declined to comment on the matter.

It wasn’t too long ago that the alphabet news called Florida event though the panhandle votes weren’t in yet due to the timezone difference. It seems the dems had no problem with that. Karma.

Any local Freepers have a feel for how these recall elections are going to turn out?
