Breaking: Sen. Mark Miller announces massive election fraud in recall attempt of 3 Democratic Senators.

TMJ 4 in Milwaukee took this live news announcement, 14 minutes worth, by Sen. Mark Miller detailing possible election fraud attempted by Kennedy Enterprises involving the recall of three of his Democratic colleagues. Kennedy Enterprises is a "shady" professional outside group hired by the Republicans Party of Wisconsin to do their typical dirty work in digging up enough names to challenge targeted Democrats.

Democratic Party of Wisconsin counsel Jeremy Levinson adds a few more details and answers more reporter questions.

Incredible stuff, when you consider a sitting state senator came out with the serious allegation.



TMJ 4: The state Democratic party announced it was challenging recall petitions against Democratic Senators, saying signatures were gathered under false pretenses.


From Bradblog a few examples of fraud:

1. Senate District 12: Of the 534 people contacted who had signed the petition, 9.2% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.

2. Senate District 22: Of the 225 people contacted who had signed the petition, 6.6% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.

3. Senate District 30: Of the 372 people contacted who had signed the petition, 8.6% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.

4. Affidavit of a World War II veteran from Green Bay who was misled into signing a recall petition. Upon learning he had been duped, veteran called the sheriff to get his name removed. When confronted, the circulator claims he will remove the name, but a later review of the petitions reveals the veteran’s name was never crossed off.

5. Many affidavits attesting that Circulator Sherri Ferrell – who gathered nearly 3,000 signatures in two districts — gathered signatures on Indian reservations claiming petitions were to support “schools,” “Democrats,” and “tribal rights.”

6. Affidavit of voter in Senate District 22 attesting that circulator John Prijic claimed the petitions were for work to be done on a local park.

7. Affidavit of voter in Senate District 30 attesting that circulator Annette Lord claimed the petitions were to recall Republican Senator Cowles.

8. Affidavit of voter in Senate District 30 attesting that circulator Richard Madrill claimed the petitions were to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

Remember when Republicans told their voters to mess up the Republican recall signatures with phony names? We can only assume the Republicans will now accuse Democrats of playing their game to make them look bad. Actually, I looking forward to the creative spin they'll come up with next.

Update: Hey, that didn't take long. WKOW 27 News included the Republican Party of Wisconsin response, or lack of one, while they come up with something.
