First reports of Wisconsin recall petition fraud?

Could be, could be:

The Racine County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate possible fraudulent recall signatures collected by Mark Demet, a Racine man whose brother’s signature was found four times on petitions to recall Sen. Van Wanggaard, R-Racine. His mother’s signature was also found twice.

But both say they didn’t sign, said Capt. Thomas Lamke of the Racine County Sheriff’s Office.

This is, by the way, a felony: and if this guy is convicted of it then I recommend the full fine and jail time.  If that sounds overly harsh, well, nobody is out there forcing people to fraudulently sign other people’s name to official election documents.  For that matter, it’s long since past time that somebody got it through Wisconsin progressives’ heads that their petulant collective refusal to accept that they lost an election doesn’t actually give them an excuse to do whatever damage that they like to civic structures in their home state.  It’s a heck of a thing to have to use felony convictions to drive that point home, but then, if you want to train a jackass the first thing you have to do is to get its attention…

    … agree with all of your points, I strongly agree with one concept – ANYONE found guilty of voter fraud or election fraud should be sentenced harshly.

    I don’t care if they’re supporting a measure, a candidate, or a constitutional amendment. If you are judged guilty of trying to pervert an election, you should be visiting a grey concrete cell.

    They only care about being in control.

    For that reason alone they should never be allowed back at the wheels of power when they’ve been ejected from them.

    Personally I see this as a coordinated attack on our institutions that is treasonous in it’s intent to subvert and take over institutions by fraud or any other means than the legal way of doing things.

    it’s some kind of family feud. Will see if I can dig up a link.

    (Offtopic: Moe, I hear and understand what you said to me. This my first time to post in a while).

    on the petitions I have entered into the data base for VerifyThe Recall.
    The fake signatures are not even close to the name that was printed, or the scrall is so outlandish that no one coud ever read it.
    I have become suspicious of a lot of the signatures, even the ones that ‘match’ the printed name. The WI Verify organizers say they are going to run the petiton signatures against a variety of data bases. I hope they can identify most of the fraudulent signatures, but the task is momumental.
    Guilty individuals need to be punished to the full extent of the law – and PUBLICALLY SHAMED.

    For the libs, that would be a badge of honor.

    And for those convicted of election fraud, it’s quite likely that the libs will reward them indirectly, one way or another, such as give a cush and lucrative job to their spouse.

    Sen. Fitzgerald is challenging enough signatures in his recall drive that he may be able to escape facing another election!

    Way to go!
