Ironic? Railroad Executive Charged Breaking Campaign Laws to Elect Walker. What is it about Walker and Trains?

The Republican Party’s purity level on voter fraud and election improprieties hit a new low point today when charges were leveled against a Walker supporter for an unsurprising attempt to influence our recent gubernatorial race. All this manufactured fear of election and voter fraud is actually projection, where the deep inner drive of conservatives to break election laws is so powerful, that they’re constantly accusing others of having those same villainess inklings. This isn’t some guy voting twice:
jsonline: Railroad executive William E. Gardner was charged Monday morning with two felony counts of violating campaign finance laws for reimbursing his employees for making donations in political contests, including to Gov. Scott Walker in last year's governor's race. Gardner, president and chief executive officer of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co., told state regulators last year that he used railroad receipts to reimburse workers who had given to Scott Walker, who later defeated Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a Democrat, for governor … Walker returned more than $43,000 in donations to Gardner and a handful of his company workers.
To his credit, he did turn himself in before he was discovered and cooperated completely, earning him a get out of jail card.
