(Wisconsin) GOP legislative aide under investigation for voter fraud

Source: Wisconsin State Journal

A Republican legislative aide is under investigation for possible vote fraud after she cast her ballot in the November election in Onalaska although she lives in Madison.

La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke said he has forwarded the report from the Onalaska Police Department to Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne to see if criminal charges are warranted against Marcie Malszycki, 30, an aide to state Rep. Warren Petryk, R-Eleva.

Records from the Government Accountability Board show Malszycki voted in Onalaska on Nov. 2, 2010, and Nov. 4, 2008, at the same time she had a home in Madison and worked at the state Capitol. Messages left with Malszycki by email, phone and Facebook weren't returned.

... Petryk, Malszycki's boss, is one of several co-sponsors of the controversial voter ID bill that passed the Senate Thursday.

Is it possible that she volunteered to be a sacrificial lamb just to prove their point about rampant voter fraud? :evilgrin:

If Mommy and Daddy lived in Onalaska and you wanted to vote there for Republicans instead of in Dane County, where Dems always get elected, you could have your Mommy and Daddy's address on your drivers license and all you would have to worry about is getting your mail from the DMV - which, in WI only comes once every 14 years when it's time for renewal.


No one at the DMV ever checks an address. You can have whatever address you want put on your DL.

If there really were significant voter fraud, which has never been shown, wouldn't this make the law useless? Someone could renew (or get) their license and move - even out of state or out of the country - and still be able to vote at that address for 14 years.

They think there are lots of Democrats going around voting under someone else's name. Is it reasonable to believe that someone, somewhere, hasn't yet shown up to vote and been told someone else had already been there to vote as them? And then didn't make an issue of it in the media or complain to the election board? As Jon Stewart would say, they've got nuthin'.

major news coverage of the real people when they show up to vote.

And unless you have records of their living at a different address, you can't prove fraud.

We could start with the indelible ink thumb dip, like they do in elections in other countries...

if you voted absentee you wouldn't get inked, or if you voted early in person it would wash off by election day. It's all in the details, and there are so many...

What ever happened to that guy that tossed hundreds of D voter registrations into the dumpster; or Coulter who voted twice in the same election, although different states, (FL/CT I believe)?

Five years in prison and a lifetime loss of voting privileges would put an end to most of this.

what I'm talking about is Coulter voting in FL and CT in the same election, and the clown that dumped hundreds of D voter registrations in the dumpster.

There will always be minor errors, I voted I a wrong district once, it was nullified and I voted in the proper district. legitimate errors happen...it's when people blatantly do things that that they should be prosecuted. I also thin touchscreens should be outlawed, unless there is a paper trail to be counted.. For less that $15, a printer could be attached to each machine and the ballot could be verified by the voter, and placed in a box for later counts. In a normal checkout at the store, I can come across at least one, usually three items that ring up incorrectly. Looking at a printout from some software proves nothing...and the #'s rarely reflect what voters actually voted on.

as they have demonstrated repeatedly...

I've got the feeling that if there are charges the mom will not be overlooked.

Apparently certain Republican voters, like Coulter, just feel they can do as they please. This nation is so fucked.

I bet that 1952 is your birth year, one I share.

:D

Well, la-di-da .

So the NEOCONS got their voter ID rammed through the Senate and what comes up the day after is an example of a person voting in the wrong district. Voter fraud coincident? I think not! It’s A-OK when the politicians rig the voting systems but let the average smuck make a mistake then it’s off with the head!

In a post on Facebook the day of the 2010 general election, Malszycki said she had voted for GOP candidates Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, Dan Kapanke, Mike Huebsch and J.B. Van Hollen and planned to return to her South Side neighborhood the next day.

Former Dane County Sup. Patrick DePula challenged Malszycki's right to vote in Onalaska on her Facebook page then posted the exchange on his blog last month. A Madison man read the blog and filed a complaint.

Under state law, "a person who moves to another location for a temporary purpose is not eligible to vote there," said Diane Lowe, the lead elections specialist for the GAB. "At times, it is difficult to ascertain whether a person has an intent to return from whence they came or not."

However, the Facebook posting suggests "that this person was fully aware that her stay in Onalaska was only temporary; she, therefore should have voted from her Madison address," Lowe said.................

But why is the case always made against the single voter breaking the rules while wholesale election manipulation is the "new normal", to borrow a term.

Where is the federal investigation into fixed elections? Oh, the perpetrators won't investigate themselves. Honor among thieves and all that.

and how much attention will the republican corporate media give this?

These people are traitors and should be treated as such.
