Republican State Senator Calls for Election Investigation in Milwaukee

Report: D.A.'s rarely enforce law on voter-address cards

A provision of state law covering the confirmation cards that must be sent to verify addresses of newly registered voters is rarely used, diminishing an important safeguard against voter fraud, a newspaper reports.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Thursday that its review showed little use of the provision, which requires that any confirmation card that the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver to the address on the card must be sent to the local district attorney for investigation.

In Milwaukee, more than 10,000 confirmation cards out of an estimated 84,000 voters who registered on election day last November could not be processed.

According to Milwaukee officials, the cards may be illegible, missing certain required information or duplicates of ones that had been filled out earlier. They said the number of undeliverable cards was about the same as for the November 2000 presidential election.

The Journal Sentinel said it has submitted an open records request seeking access to the Milwaukee cards, which officials say contain private information that must be blotted out before they can be released.

Citing the undeliverable cards, state Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, sent a letter Wednesday to Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann calling for an investigation into Milwaukee's election problems
