The GOP war on voting - Page 79 - Politics and Economics

Robert D. Monroe, 50, used addresses in Shorewood, Milwaukee and Indiana, according to the complaint, and cast some votes in the names of his son and his girlfriend's son.

According to the complaint:

Monroe cast two ballots in the April 2011 Supreme Court election, two in the August 2011 Alberta Darling recall election, five in the Scott Walker-Tom Barrett recall, one illegal ballot in an August 2012 primary, and two ballots in the November 2012 presidential election.
.
.
.
WisPolitics.com reported the investigation into Monroe's multiple voting last week after Milwaukee County Judge J.D. Watts ordered the records related to a secret John Doe investigation be made public after the investigation was closed.

According to those records, Monroe was considered by investigators to be the most prolific multiple voter in memory. He was a supporter of Gov. Scott Walker and state Sen. Alberta Darling, both Republicans, and allegedly cast five ballots in the June 2012 election in which Walker survived a recall challenge.

According to the John Doe records, Monroe claimed to have a form of temporary amnesia and did not recall the election day events when confronted by investigators.

Strangely this was missed by the massive effort on the part of WI Repubs to find voter fraud.

If the question is genuine, then no. Like nearly all voting fraud he used absentee ballots.

So he accomplished several things - he showed us that the Republicans are aware of voter fraud since they're doing it themselves. And he's showing us that the laws they've proposed would do nothing to stop them.

Has anybody on the left proposed eliminating absentee ballots? I'd be in favor. Eliminate early voting while we're at it.

But then you'd have millions of democrats pretending they have military brothers who want to vote for Kenyan socialists and there'd be no way to stop them because its just IMPOSSIBLE to detect voter fraud ever.

Lol, why the **** would anyone back the removal of early voting? The not so secret behind how India can handle a quarter billion votes (from a potential 800 million) is by keeping the polls open for a month.

Eliminating absentee ballots was only the second dumbest part of that two dumb part post.

Then we need more polling places LDO.

I believe Ohio just shortened their early voting from 35 days to 21. The longest early voting window I saw was 46 days (can't remember the state). At what point does early voting become a joke? Things can happen in a 46 days that might influence your vote.

Yes. Absentee ballots have problems as well. I'd love to be able to vote electronically but there are problems with that as well. No system is perfect.

Pretty curious for the list of things that could have happened in the 30 days leading up to the 2012 election that would have resulted in Mojo voting for Obama.

Then don't vote 46 days out. Nobody is forcing you to vote the day when the polls open. Others may be willing to take that "risk".

I think the most tilting part of this case is the fact that Hobby Lobby thinks that IUDs and the morning after pill cause abortions, which they don't. So basically, even if something provably doesn't violate your religious beliefs, you can still opt out of it if you believe in your heart of hearts that it does. Am I missing something?
