Wineke Admits That Some Democrat Votes Are Fraudulent

This is too rich.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin today asked a Dane County judge to allow it to intervene in the lawsuit over voter-registration requirements filed by Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.

State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Wineke said the request was filed on behalf of more than one million Wisconsin voters, many of whom traditionally vote for the Democratic candidate for president—voters Wineke said the Republican attorney general is trying to disenfranchise.

Van Hollen is asking that the clerks check the rolls and purge felons and dead people.  That’s it.  He is asking the GAB to decide what to do with the ones that are merely typos and such.  So is Wineke admitting that the Democrats have the felon and worm food vote locked up?

  1. He also wants to remove the names that do not not match DOT records.  Many of those are misspellings, old addresses, and other clerical errors.  The article you linked mentions these votes as the ones the Dems are trying to keep on the rolls.

    The question that emerged Thursday was what would happen to voters who failed the checks if Van Hollen prevails. His aides said the board would have to remove truly ineligible voters from the rolls — such as felons serving their sentences or dead people — but that it would be up to the board to determine who was qualified to vote.

  3. It was a nice thought to think of our recently passed as “worm food”. You’re better than that Owen.

  5. It’s fun watching Wienke’s face turn even more red when he learns that a core constituency - ineligible felons - will not be allowed to vote.

    By the way, has anyone in the media or elsewhere ever questioned where they come up with the 1 million number?

    Should be simple, just check to see how many current felons there are in Wisconsin.

  7. There’s no way you can be against removing people who are deceased or felons who are ineligible to vote from the rolls.

    They clearly shouldn’t be voting (or just plain can’t vote) - so why the big roo about cleaning up the rolls?

    Unless you somehow benefit from fraud….
