Before the 2008 election, Wisconsin’s Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen and Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm formed a special task force to combat attempts to pervert elections, especially in Milwaukee, where most of the problems occurred in 2004.
Today, Van Hollen announced indictments in five cases — including two felony indictments against ACORN for scheming to have registrants vote multiple times in November 2008. The AG released this statement today:
MILWAUKEE – Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Milwaukee Election Fraud Task Force has brought additional electoral fraud cases against five Wisconsin residents. The Department of Justice, acting as Special Prosecutor for Milwaukee County, has filed felony charges against Maria Miles, Kevin Clancy, Michael Henderson, Herbert Gunka, and Suzanne Gunka, all alleging election fraud arising out of the November 4, 2008, Presidential Election.
“The integrity of elections is dependent upon citizens and officials insisting they be conducted lawfully. Wisconsin’s citizens should not have to wonder whether their vote has been negated or diminished by illegally cast ballots,” Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said.
According to the criminal complaints, Miles and Clancy served as Special Registration Deputies (“SRD”) for the City of Milwaukee in advance of the 2008 Presidential Election. Each worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (“ACORN”). Miles and Clancy are each charged with the felony offense of Falsely Procuring Voter Registration as Party to a Crime. The complaint alleges that Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, and also were part of a scheme in which they and other SRDs registered each other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN…
In 2004, Wisconsin went for Kerry by a bit more than 11,000 votes out of more than 2.9 million cast. In 2004, it went for Gore by less than 6,000 votes. Both are within the “margin of ACORN”. And I’ve long been convinced that both in 2000 and 2004, Bush was denied a Wisconsin victory by voter fraud – and denied other States, as well, in both cycles. In 2008 it didn’t affect the outcome as Obama’s margin over McCain was quite large, but its clear that the voter fraud which became endemic in 2000 has continued – and will continue until people go to jail over it.
Unless there is absolute confidence in the vote, democracy is unworkable. Democrats, foolishly determined on winning no matter what, are placing the entire American experiment at risk by colluding in actions such as ACORN’s in the matter of voter fraud. That the nation could go in to acute crisis due to such things just doesn’t register in the minds of the Democrats.
Mostly this is because of the overall culture of corruption in the Democrat Party. They’ve been getting away with law breaking for so long, they just don’t see any reason to not break the law. Always keep in mind such things as the indisputable fact that Speaker Pelosi rose to her position by a series of illegal actions. For any Democrat, this is a lesson which cannot be ignored – routinely break the law; become Speaker.
Fundamentally, it is for liberal voters to finally wake up to this and do the right thing – but, in the meantime, the job of all patriots who care about our democratic way of life is to ensure that as many Democrats as possible see the inside of a jail over this sort of thing.
