Felons voting in Wisconsin is nothing new. As Media Trackers reported in 2011: In the 2000 general election, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that as many as 361 felons voted. A 2004 Milwaukee Police Department report detailed the ease that felons were able to vote due to the same-day voter registration system. “The state of Wisconsin precluded any pre-screening for ineligible, felon voters” the report notes. The investigation uncovered 220 ineligible felons who voted in the 2004 general election… Nine people have been charged with “voting by a disqualified person” in connection to the 2008 general election. Of these, six have been convicted, and three others have yet to be scheduled for trial… Felons can and do vote in Wisconsin, regardless of what the law states. Every ineligible felon vote disenfranchises the constitutional rights of a law-abiding citizen of Wisconsin. The system as is provides for this disenfranchisement in order to increase turnout. But what good is voter turnout if the election is not free, fair, and legal?
“Dane County Voter Fraud?“ A Dane County Deputy Sheriff reports,
Recently Deputies and jail staff at the Dane County Jail were instructed to disregard inmates’ felony statuses when they requested voter absentee ballots… In my opinion, this is causing us to be complicit in the crime. But that’s okay in Dane County, where even the inmates support the democrats in large numbers. Additionally, verifying that an inmate is a felon would take seconds. There is no logical reason that I can find to support the following instructions.
