This is quite interesting, because it looks like the democrats might be involved in a little voter fraud:

Figures. 20,000 Felons Including Killers, Arsonists, and Stalkers Signed Wisconsin Recall Petitions
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 12:13 PM


What lovely people.

Those angry Wisconsinites who signed the petition to recall Governor Scott Walker were involved in over 20,000 felonies including homicide, arson and stalking.

Put Wisconsin First recently matched Wisconsin recaller’s names and addresses to Wisconsin Court Cases. There were over 400,000 matches of cases and charges from just over 900,000 signatures.

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?
 
Did they REALLY research everyone's information?

That's amazing.

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

You are either a partisan hack that's too lazy to actually read the information and click the links, or you're dishonest... Either way it's sad and quite pathetic.
 
The petition signatures were already validated, so I don't even know what this thread is.

Also, whoever put that site up that apparently links names to felonies better hope they got the right people lest they face a lawsuit.

You're right... There must be dozens and dozens of people named "Kari A Tha" in the state of Wisconsin that also lived at that address. LMMFAO

Other than that clever "attack the source" retort of yours, do you have anything to say about the honesty and ethics of your political brothers and sisters?

Validated my ass

You've got it bass-ackwards again

It's not up to anyone to prove them wrong. You have to show that they actually did what they claim they did.

I see no evidence that Kari Tha signed a recall petition

what you claim to have seen hardly qualifies as valid evidence

I see... So this whole thing is fabricated... What ever dude.
 
Then post a link to an image of the recall petition that Kari Tha signed

I am not making an assertion of fact=you are

and vote fraud is a peculiarly leftwing vice

Actually, it's Grim who is making an assertion of fact that he hasn't backed up

He claims that Kari Tha signed a recall petition. So far, there's no evidence that this is true

And I would think that a real lawyer would understand the difference between voting and signing a petition

Petition signing isn't voting. ANYONE can sign a petition, and if their names are vetted, then those signatures will count. The people who are going around asking for signatures aren't capable of doing on-the-spot background checks.

This isn't voting - ergo, this isn't an example of voter fraud.
 
Well, if it is voter fraud, somebody is living dangerously.
The criminal penalty for fraudulently voting when not legally qualified or for voting more than once when qualified is a fine of $300 to $500, one to two years in prison, and disenfranchisement. Anyone who votes or attempts to vote by assuming the name of another is subject to a fine of $500, one year in prison, and disenfranchisement (CGS § 9-360).

Other types of fraudulent voting violations carry stiffer penalties. Voting in violation of absentee ballot laws is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, up to five years in prison, or both (CGS §9-359). The same penalty applies to anyone who votes or refuses to vote in consideration of anything of value (CGS §§ 9-333x and 9-333y)). With respect to the latter offense, the commission can also (1) impose a civil penalty of $2,000 per offense or twice the amount of any improper payment or contribution, whichever is greater; (2) issue an order for the recipient to return the item of value; (3) issue an order revoking the intentional violators’ eligibility to be appointed or serve as an election, primary, or referendum official or unofficial checker or in any capacity at the polls (CGS § 9-7b(2) and (3)).

Thegatewaypundit is not really a major news source. Also, I wonder if these votes might have come from ex-felons whose voting rights have been restored. Not that the Democraps or Repugnantcans are incapable of dishonesty......

IOW, this is just another BS accusation from the rightwing based on nothing more than their ignorance of the law
 
So somebody who signed the recall petition commited voter fraud?

When did they vote exactly, and how does signing a petition constitute voter fraud. Would it not be petition fraud
 
Please post a link to an image of the recall petition that Kari Tha signed

While we are at it I wanna see Obama's physical long form birth certificate and Trig Palin's DNA test.
 
Signing a petition is voting? Since when?

Oh. I just realized who's thread I'm in. Buh-bye.
 
The recall should be null and void. GEEEEEZ!

Um...so after they spent all this money you want them to go through it all again so they lose more money? It doesn't sound like people are very confident that Walker is going to win. What is wrong with a referendum on Walker's policies up to date. I thought conservative's liked hearing the "will of the people" on all issues.
 
Then post a link to an image of the recall petition that Kari Tha signed

I'll do you one better than that... Look at line 5:

sign.jpg

Now you might want to go HERE and pay close attention to the address of the defendant...

Would you say that a retraction on your part is in order?
 
Isn't that - I don't know - wrong and illegal to post someone's private information like that on the net? Her name, address, personal criminal history, petitioning - should any of this even *be* our business?

I see the need for it to be researched adn verified - but why do *we* need to know?

I think that's just outright creepy that you can find out so much about someone like that with just a few clicks of the mouse.
