DNA Used to Catch Man Voting Over and Over

How convinced may Robert Monroe have been that his vote in the 2012 presidential election mattered? So much so that the Wisconsin man allegedly cast an in-person absentee ballot in Shorewood on Nov. 1 then rented a car and drove some 250 miles to Lebanon, Ind., five days later, using his driver’s license from that state (he owns a home there) to do so.

And that’s not all: When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a recall vote, Monroe voted five times, per a criminal complaint filed Friday.

The 50-year-old has been charged with voter fraud after allegedly voting multiple times in a series of elections, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. …

For the record, the “voter” DONATED to a Republican candidate but no place in the article did it say he IS a Republican.

Wisconsin doesn't have party registration.

He voted to recall Walker 5 times. He _is_ a Democrat. He is being portrayed as a nut and he probably is one. “I can’t recall”. “My ADHD drugs made me do it.”

If he really was a Republican, it would have been in the lede. Instead, buried at the end is some wiffle about not knowing his affiliation.

[SgtHooper]

Agree!

[Bigg Red]

This guy is actually a Republican.

(((
Which explains why he is being prosecuted and why this is being reported.

...to pick up your welfare check or food stamps ...

They have all of that money electronically put on their “Access” cards. They don’t have to show up anywhere.

[SkyDancer]

But initially didn’t they have to provide ID of some sort?

[Bigg Red]

Oh, I am sure they did. And isn’t it amazing that they managed to have the birth certificates and ID for that? That they were able to find their way to the proper offices? But requiring them to obtain a photo ID for voting purposes is just too mean.

Whether Democrat or American, vote fraud should lead to a VERY long prison sentence.

[Syllojism]

He voted to recall Walker 5 times.

How would you know how he voted? Nobody knows that except him. He's a nut, and nuts never vote Republican? If a news article doesn't lie and say they know for a fact that he votes Republican, he must logically be a Democrat? A Democrat who donated money to a Republican state senator? Do you perform these mental gymnastics all the time?

[reformedliberal]

No, I just read the article:

“And that’s not all: When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a recall vote, Monroe voted five times, per a criminal complaint filed Friday. The 50-year-old has been charged with voter fraud...”

Per the headline, this man’s DNA was found on multiple ballots.

Per the sidebar at the site:
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Source Grid »)
WISN 12 Milwaukee (Source Grid »)

I used to live in Milwaukee.Both sources, newspaper and TV station are Dem/liberal/progressive in orientation. However, they are the major news source and they did cover this,

So, if reading an article, checking the sources and then commenting without overt or implied ad hominem comprises *mental gymnastics*, I guess I do perform them often.

Wisconsin man charged with voter fraud — multiple counts

FReep Mail me if you want on,or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Liberalism IS a Mental Disease!

[Syllojism]

Voting in the recall election is not the same thing as voting to recall him. He could have voted for Walker or for the Democrat challenger. You seem to be claiming to know how he voted. You can't cite the article for that bit of information, because it isn't in there.
