In reply to the discussion: Emails Suggest Walker Aides Ran Illegal Vote-Purging Scheme [View all]sybylla
(8,655 posts)I live in the middle of nowhere. We tend to have one ballot scanner at each township. My understanding is that the larger municipalities own their equipment so I would assume the municipal clerks decide based on turnout. If there's a law on that, it's probably in the manuals available on the GAB website covering elections.
As for campaign irregularities, illegal coordination between outside groups who have been subpoenaed and the Walker campaign and the WisGOP are what I understand the Son of Doe to be about. I think this qualifies as illegal coordination if those in office were selecting names to be targeted with scam registration and GOTV documents by an outside group. You know, just to keep their official campaign fingers clean. I'm even hoping that phony hunter training grant is part of the investigation. It always sounded to me like a payoff for services rendered.
I'm with you on the voting docs. I always have something handy in case I have to re-register. Since 2010, the GOPpies in Madison have revised the voter registration rules and early voting a couple of times, so you never know what to expect at the polls.
