Wisconsin objects to Romney training manual urging incognito poll watchers - Open Channel
And once they have done that...technically not illegal but immoral... seems the Wisconsin agency that overseas elections "forgot to renew" the rule that actually makes it illegal conceal your affiliation at the polling station.. tsk tsk..That is basic running of an election 101 in a modern democracy...
and
So no voter intimidation there.. right? Not only conceal your political affiliation but then also give out false information and attack legitimate voters.... pathetic GOP.. really pathetic.
The Wisconsin agency that oversees elections is objecting to an internal training handbook distributed by Mitt Romney’s campaign that appears to instruct volunteer poll observers in the state to conceal their ties to the GOP candidate when they show up at polling stations on Election Day, a state official tells NBC News.

Magney said there were other problems with the training handbook, including its definition of ineligible voters-- whose ballots could be questioned -- as a "person who has been convicted of treason, a felony or bribery." Magney noted that under Wisconsin law, convicted felons who have served their sentences can have their civil rights restored and are eligible to vote.

The Romney campaign handbook also lists "The ONLY Acceptable Forms of 'Proof of Residency'" for voters -- and then mentions a number of items, such as current and valid drivers’ licenses, photo identification cards from employers, real estate tax bills and college IDs. But Magney said the list is incomplete, failing to mention other forms of proof, including any communication from a government agency, such as student loan documents or vehicle registration cards.
