…and get your ACORNs outta here.

Wisconsin is known these days as more of a “purple” state. The problem is that every major Presidential election, there are troubling instances that make it look like a banana republic.

You had a New Yorker coming to Milwaukee, trying to bribe the homeless into voting for a particular candidate in 2000.

Then there was mischievous scamps who slashed the tires of vans being used to transport people to the voting booths in 2004.

You have instances of poll workers (which you’d think shouldn’t be hardcore partisan) telling people who to vote for, college students taking more than one ballot at a time and one student bragging he voted more than once. Now these instances may or may not be true, especially the last one, but the pattern seems to be there.

Add to the fact that this state doesn’t require an ID to vote and you’ve already got problems once again waiting to happen come this November.

So now you’ve got ACORN, who if the internet is correct, is nothing more than an organization just trying to help people. Well, if that’s the case, why the voter registration fraud? Add to the fact that over 20% newly registered voters aren’t up to snuff.

I swear, the crypto-sporidium outbreak years ago is still floating around in some politician’s heads when they can’t even admit it’s a good idea to require people to show an ID before they vote.
