Report on 2004 Election in Milwaukee

Here’s the report that resulted from the investigation of the 2004 November election in the City of Milwaukee.  It makes for fascinating reading.  The conclusion?

After nearly 18 months of investigation the Task Force believes that there was fraud committed in the 2004 election, but as one investigator stated, “I know I voted in the Election, but I can’t be certain it counted.”

Fred Dooley helps break out some of the details for us.

1305 registration cards without enough information to be entered into the voter database. The people who voted on those cards did not have their votes counted. (page 9)

Evidence of double voting and double voter entries. (pages 7&8)

“The Milwaukee Election Commission employees allowed obviously ineligible voters to cast ballot in races that were contested” (pg 17)

Homeless votes cast from a non legal voting address. (pg. 21) (A favored Racine tactic by the way)

Irregularities in student voting (pg 24)

Recommendations on page 26, “The one thing that could eliminate a large percentage of fraudulent voting in any given election is the elimination of on-site or same-day voter registration systems.”... “As an alternative, if On-Site registration is to continue in its present form, then the presentation of a government issued identification card that includes that includes the voters name, address (including city) and date of birth should be presented before that person is allowed to register and vote.“Dead people are rising from the grave and voting in Milwaukee (pg 31)

Double voting (page 34)

Absentee votes allowed that were not eligible to vote in Wisconsin. (pg 41)

Absentee Ballots not counted (pg 42)

A New Jersey school teacher who has not lived in Milwaukee since for years voting absentee here, add to that a New York Attorney, a school director who has been in Hamburg, Germany since 1974 and a man who has lived in Canada since 1971. (pg 47)

16 examples of “staffers from a major political party” from out of state registering and voting here. (pgs 49-51)

The report did not name the party, but they were all involved with the New Voter’s Project…. Remember them? (D) From the conclusion of this section, “The belief of the investigator is that each of these persons had to commit multiple criminal acts in an effort to reach their ultimate goal of voting, showing that the act was a conscious, internal effort to commit a crime.”
