In reply to the discussion: Emails Suggest Walker Aides Ran Illegal Vote-Purging Scheme [View all]sybylla
(8,655 posts)We still have same day voter registration, so the standard caging activities don't really work.
In this case, if you read deeply into the article, one of the Koch Brothers' shadow groups, also part of the John Doe II probe going on now, sent out faulty voter registration forms. They didn't have the proper address, or they had the wrong election day, or some other BS thing was going on. I received a few of them myself and worked for a candidate whose supporters also received them.
I don't remember all the details of each BS registration mailing, but there were loads of them both before the November 2010 election and before the recalls.
So if a voter thought they were registered, then found out on election day that they weren't. They may have had to wait 2 hours in a line only to find out they didn't have the proper documents to get re-registered.
My next question is, if they were coordinating illegally with an outside group to do this, were they also coordinating to distribute GOTV flyers in Milwaukee and other places with the wrong election dates on them?
