We the felons is not we the people.
Link me to the stories where Republicans were convicted of voter suppression, and I will gladly comment on them.
This is quite interesting, because it looks like the democrats might be involved in a little voter fraud....

I did some checking, and according to Wisconsin law, people with felony convictions are barred from voting if incarcerated, on parole, or on probation for those crimes. So just for kicks, I looked at the list of people who committed felonies and decided to check the status of the very first person on the list, Kari A Tha, and sure enough, she is still on probation until at least mid 2013 for her 2005 felony conviction, which she served a year in prison for.
This means she's not eligable to vote in the state of Wisconsin, and according to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, "Petition signers must reside in the district of the elected official being recalled and be eligible to vote in Wisconsin."
Voter fraud anyone?
No, it's just another dishonest claim from some wingnut on the internet
Even if they did what the article claims they did, it proves nothing. All they did was match names. The fact that someone has the same name as a felon doesn't mean that they are a felon
How old are you?
Do you know what a link is?
Can you read?
Click the link to the democratic party of Wisconsin

Just click the links on post 1... and before I become the topic once again, I was wrong about the voter fraud claim. It is fraud of some sort by someone though... even though aparantly mislabeling it means it never really happened or something.
I am not making an assertion of fact=you are
and vote fraud is a peculiarly leftwing vice
With all due respect, TD, YOU are the one who says that there is voter fraud. Therefore it is up to YOU to show that Kari Tha signed the petition, thus committing the fraud. As a lawyer, I thought for sure you knew that. :mrgreen:
As a lawyer, he should also have known that signing a petition can not be voter fraud, because there isn't any voting
True, voter fraud is not committed by signing a petition. However, by signing the petition, the signer states that he or she IS a registered voter in the state of Wisconsin. But that signature would be thrown out during the validation process.
Based upon a story from the Gateway Pundit? Wouldn't be too much of a stretch, now would it? :2razz:I see... So this whole thing is fabricated... What ever dude.
In July 2010, Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, conducted a study in which they claimed that at least 341 convicted felons in the largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul area voted illegally in the Senate race.[112] Subsequent investigations of Minnesota Majority's claims by election officials found that many of their allegations were incorrect. Some of the cases that were submitted involved mistaking a legal voter for a felon with the same name, others involved felons who had had their voting rights reinstated after serving their sentences, and others were felons who illegally registered to vote, but did not vote in 2008 election.[113][114] Columnist Nick Coleman of the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune called the idea that illegal voting by felons made a difference in the race "unbelievable" and the Minnesota Majority report "good fodder for a right-wing scare campaign."[115]
In October 2010, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office concluded an extensive investigation into 110 allegations of fraud, which resulted in six charges being filed — two individuals were charged with the separate felonies of registering to vote while ineligible and voting while ineligible and four others were charged with voting while ineligible.[116]

Sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "la, la, la, la" doesn't make it not true. feel free to email me and I will send you all the prof you need. And for anyone who can read, this did not search just names! It is a name and address search! I dare you to go find one that is wrongly matched! The program downloaded over 9 million cases and search them for name AND address!No, it's just another dishonest claim from some wingnut on the internet
Even if they did what the article claims they did, it proves nothing. All they did was match names. The fact that someone has the same name as a felon doesn't mean that they are a felon
I think you mean "should be". Only looking at the petitions, in an open process, by everyone would make this possible.But that signature would be thrown out during the validation process.
Ahhh, still can't prove that there was any voter fraud, or anything illegal.
Your posts have the stench of desperation
Where is the VOTE FRAUD in this?
What votes were cast in what election and were cast fraudulently?
The burden of proof for any challenge rests with the individual bringing the challenge.
If a challenger establishes that an individual is ineligible to sign the petition, the signature may not be counted.
