While Republicans try like hell to portray Democratic challengers as devious con artists illegally buying votes, actual proof has turned up showing the radical fringe group Wisconsin Right to Life and Family Action coalition offered gift cards for votes. Again, another example of projection from our Republican election fraud friends.
jsonline: A Milwaukee County prosecutor is examining allegations that abortion opponents offered rewards for volunteers who signed up sympathetic voters in Wisconsin's high-stakes Senate recall elections.
According to an email obtained by the Journal Sentinel, the Wisconsin Right to Life and Family Action coalition offered gift cards ranging from $25 to $75 to volunteers who hit targets for persuading voters to fill out absentee ballot applications in the July recall primary elections. State law prohibits offering voters anything of value to vote.
A "$25 gift card or gas card reward for any volunteer who can get at least 15 pro-life/pro-family voters (and family and friends) to complete an absentee ballot application" by July 5. A "$75 gift card or gas card reward for the volunteer in each Senate district who gets the most absentee ballot applications completed" by July 5.
Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf, who prosecutes election law violations, said he had been "advised by the Milwaukee County Election Commission and the (city) clerk of Glendale that Wisconsin Right to Life may have been offering things of value in exchange for signing up pro-life people to vote by absentee ballot in the Alberta Darling recall election." Landgraf said he was reviewing the issue.
You can bet the WRL lawyers will be on their way.
