Van Hollen’s pursuit of voter fraud borders on the rabid, playing on the mythical fears of double voting and conspiracy theories, so what can possibly explain his silence and inaction on the massive vote count error in Waukesha? You would think he would at least try to restore public confidence in the process by looking into the controversy created by a problematic county clerk. Go figure. One Wisconsin Now is asking the same question:
More than 10,000 concerned Wisconsin citizens are calling for a bipartisan investigation by Attorney General JB Van Hollen into the actions of Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus.
One Wisconsin Now said it was concerned the Attorney General had yet to offer comment or direction, given the strong position Van Hollen took when it came to allegations people had voted improperly in Milwaukee in 2008. Van Hollen’s investigation, which also included the creation of the Election Integrity Task Force, produced less than 20 potentially-improper votes cast. A total of three million votes were cast in Wisconsin in the 2008 election.
“It raises serious concerns that Attorney General Van Hollen spent two years investigating voters predominately in Milwaukee County, while so far ignoring this action in Waukesha County,” said Ross. “The longer he remains silent, the more strongly it suggests his investigations are rooted in partisan politics instead of protecting the public trust.”
