Early Voting Students in Milwaukee get verbal Attacked by "fellows" at the MacIver Institute. This voting thing has got to stop.

Thank god we have those crazy “fellows” at the MacIver Institute watch dogging a “bus load” of students voting for the first time in their lives. Who do those kids think they are, citizens?

Early Voting Students Use Class Schedules to Prove Residency, Not Identity, at Milwaukee Polls: Last Friday a busload of students from Pulaski High School pulled up to the Zeidler Municipal Building here and more than two dozen students, accompanied by their teachers, voted during the early in-person absentee balloting period, many only using a printout of their class schedule to prove their identity. A witness reported seeing about 30 students at the polls around 10 am. About 10 or 11 of them used their class schedules to vote.

Ouch. What 18 year old wouldn’t want to commit a felony by fraudulently voting against the likes of Scott Walker? Will those that are educated stop at nothing to steal away some honest Republicans vote?

The MacIver News Service has confirmed that there was no date of birth listed on the class schedules. However, according to the Milwaukee Elections Commission and the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, voters do not need to provide proof of age in order to register. All they have to do is check off a box on the registration form.

"The whole system relies on the honesty and integrity of the individual," Sue Edmond, Milwaukee's Election Commission director, told the MacIver News Service. "If we find after the election that they lied, they could be charged with a felony."

Honesty and integrity from...people? Outraged over the act of voting, or what MacIver calls the “incident,” Republicans sprang into action:

When the Republican Party of Wisconsin learned of the incident, it contacted the GAB. After meeting with GAB officials, party representatives contended that this incident still raises eyebrows.

This was the first time Pulaski had bused students to the polls to vote early, but MPS said it is consistent with previous curriculum. Although they admitted two teachers organized the effort, MPS officials did not identify the employees involved in the incident.

Said Roseann St.Aubin, MPS Communications Director, "There are various activities used by our teachers to instruct students about voting in Social Studies, Civics or Citizenship classes. They include registration outreach and letting students view the actual polling activity that may be taking place in their schools (many are used as polling locations). Activities are to be completely non-partisan. Students are not told to vote for specific candidates."

The MacIver Institute cannot be fooled so easily! Were those teachers on the GOP “Black List” data base of recall signatures?

Without knowing the identities of the employees involved it is impossible to determine whether or not they were donors to Republicans or Democrats or if they signed the petition that initiated the current or past rounds of recalls.

And I loved this nonsensical conclusion of what is pretty much a drummed up story of outrage:

Republican Party officials said even though this was the first time Pulaski High School bused students to the polls, that activity is not unusual around the country. However, RPW is not aware of voting field trips taking place anywhere else in Wisconsin for this election.

Keep in mind that a public school teacher in Fond du Lac, Karl McCarty, has taken Republican Party field trips and has had Wisconsin congressmen and Senators as guests. Guess the "Fellowship of the Fringe" outraged enough to comment on that story.
