Search Warrant Issued For SEIU Organizer In Out-of-State Voter Case

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 6th, 2012 at 01:00 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Last April, after months of laying siege to the Wisconsin capitol building, unions poured $4.5 million into the state to unseat Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser in an election. Though their efforts ultimately failed, unions did all they could legally and now, it seems, illegally to win at all costs.


In October, Media Trackers uncovered documents exposing three SEIU-affiliated individuals who took advantage of Wisconsin’s lax voter registration rules to register and vote by using a Residence Inn as their address. The individuals, SEIU organizer Todd E. Stoner from Freehold, New Jersey; Clarence Haynes, a SEIU organizer from Florida; as well as Austin Lee Thompson, a left-wing protester employed by an SEIU-affiliated group, all used the Residence Inn in Glendale, Wisconsin as their address.

Now, Milwaukee’s Assistant District Attorney has taken an interest by issuing a search warrant for Clarence Haynes.

According to Media Trackers’ report:

On Wednesday, Milwaukee Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf issued a search warrant for Florida SEIU organizer Clarence Haynes declaring there is “probable cause that Mr. H [Clarence Haynes] voted without the proper qualifications as an elector when he cast a ballot on April 5, 2011.”

The gentlemen all share a common affiliation with the Service Employee International Union. Media Trackers first uncovered from SEIU documents that Haynes was listed as a “Senior Organizer in Training” and was previously registered as an SEIU employee in Florida. Haynes’ phone number on his Wisconsin election day registration form listed a Tampa area code.

As Media Trackers’ notes in its post:

[John Mercure of 620 WTMJ] also explained that in a conversation with ADA Landgraf, Landgraf explained there was “probable cause” that a crime had been committed and a decision on whether charges would be pressed may come in the next couple weeks.

If convicted, Class I felonies in Wisconsin carry a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment up to 3 1/2 years.

As the SEIU’s now-famous shirt notes, the SEIU “make[s] politics work.” Apparently, making ‘politics work’ may include committing Class I felonies.

    A person’s vote should the most sacred element of our democratic republic. When Democrats & their union synchophants cheat (and they do), it is akin to stealing that element from other voters. It should be punished harshly.

    Thanks, LUR, for providing another example of why unions “inhale forcefully”.

    PS: Funny how the SEIU guy’s from Florida and we just had another coordinated round of FL newspaper editorials decrying our updated voter ID laws. They all used the talking point that there IS NO voter fraud.

    try to get the groups these types of individuals belong to indicted on conspiracy to commit felony charges. I’d start racking my brain for all sorts of creative, yet legal ways to go after the groups that are presumably facilitating and tacitly encouraging said behavior. Not terribly different from the mindset employed when enforcement officials neutered Al Capone or, more recently, the KKK.

      Just need someone to go after them, they’ve been so blatant because they’ve been able to get away with this stuff for so long.

    I am so sick of reading of DemocRAT Voter Fraud, year after year, in every election! When are we going to start prosecuting these corrupt SLUGS and sending their worthless butts to prison for a few years? It will not stop until there is a threat of a heavy jail sentence hanging over their heads. The entire Party is corrupt to the core, including the idiot who heads up the Department of “Just Us.” There is no reason why every single voter should not be required to show a Photo ID at the polling place. If they are too stupid to get a Photo ID, they are too stupid to vote.

    All in a days work. There better be jail time, or this’ll just keep happening.
