Thinking that the WI election was "rigged" sets the stage for losing.

52. In para. 3, photo ID and registering at the polls have nothing to do with election fraud

Those would fall under the causes/preventions of voter fraud if it existed.

No one is saying don't bother voting next time. What we are saying is that something is wrong when people are standing in line to vote and the media is calling a winner. When were absentee ballots counted? The first box arrived in the morning in my precinct while I waited in line to vote. It was the first of many per the election officials delivering them. There appeared to be a couple score of envelopes in the box. Yet when my husband voted after work that night...the optical scanner closely matched the number on his ticket. So it does not appear they had been counted.

Why was pre-election polling and exit polling so far off the mark?

Why were there long lines at the polls like most people have never seen, yet fewer people voted than in 2010?

Are there some uneducated, uncaring, red-voting nuts in my state? Yep. Did Walker spend a boatload of cash with 5 times as many nasty ads and hour as Barrett? Yes. We need to address that.

But we need to protect the integrity of our elections or it doesn't matter how many people we get to vote...they'll just change the numbers.
