Sen. Scott Fitzgerald replaces current district map, with Fall 2012 map!!! Election Fraud? Misleads voters?...illegal?

UPDATE 11:13 am: I left a message with the GAB regarding the old and new maps, so that information will be coming soon. I did call Sen. Jon Erpenbach's office about the possible deception, and was told that they weren't surprised at the confusion. The new maps, "for purposes of representation," are currently in effect. But for the recall elections, they are not. So an elected official can choose to present the redistricted map as "current," without running afoul of the law.

That's what I know so far. Bizarre? Is anything coming out of this administration ever on the level? I'm still maintaining the "current" presentation of maps is intentionally deceptive. It's also true that not many voters will check their district map, since they generally know who they voted for in the past, but it is still just another misdirection play.

Sen. Scott Fitzgerald is one fine huckster, and perfect example of what his party represents. I don't know if the following is illegal, but how could it not be? Thanks to Sly in the Morning, this outright fraud is out there for everyone to see.

The Recallfitz web site posted this amazing problem:

Apparently Scott Fitzgerald’s best defense against recall is telling his constituents they don’t live in his district anymore.

For the purposes of the recall, Wisconsin Senate District 13 comprises Assembly Districts 37, 38, and 39, and includes the towns of Lake Mills, Fort Atkinson, Watertown, Deerfield, Horicon, Mayville, Lomira, Beaver Dam, Fox Lake, and northern Oconomowoc, among others.

Map of Wisconsin Senate District 13: This map is also printed on the back of our petitions.

For the recall, the new redistricting lines do not apply. The new redistricting lines aren’t scheduled to take effect until Fall 2012. The people of our district elected Scott Fitzgerald and now we’re recalling him, simple as that.

Proof? Try the links from Sen. Scott Fitzgerald's web site as pictured here:
But Fitzgerald completely misleads voters with the new redistricting map by clearly claiming its current;

    Perhaps this is state wide change.

  4. Interesting turn of events, where both parties (at least one) are seeing the change.

    We'll dig deeper. Thanks all....
