Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is trying to STEAL the Wisconsin Presidential Race

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, who has called himself "God's Cop", is a Republican and co-chairman of John McCain's Wisconsin campaign. When elected in 2006, Van Hollen said this:



I didn't get the memo that God wants or likes cheating liars. But I digress...

Van Hollen has sued the Wisconsin Governmental Accountability Board due to name differences between voter records and state transportation records.

What this means is that if your name is John Smith on the state transportation records and your voter record has you registered as John W. Smith, your name is deleted from the voter records. A new closed-source proprietary election voting system was integrated in the last month that has applied this ridiculous filter that has taken perhaps hundreds of thousands of voters names off the voting records.

Being someone who has worked with database programming in ASP, MySQL, Cold Fusion, PHP and Java, I personally know that you could compare names AND then compare addresses before you delete what might be a dupe record. Whoever did the name filtering obviously knew that certain people would be more affected than others.

The name combination particularly affects minorities. Gee, why is that a surprise? :crazy:

J.B. Van Hollen claims he wants convicted felons and dead people from casting ballots, yet the name combination discrepancy would have absolutely NOTHING to do with those parameters. And he knows it.

J.B. Van Hollen is co-chairman of John McCain's Wisconsin campaign and simply wants to abuse his power as Attorney General to STEAL the election. Should he resign from his position in the McCain campaign? Should rats be allowed in hospitals?

The voter registration suit, which Van Hollen is behind, is in court today:



To show just how faulty the new election software was, it turns out that four out of six Government Accountability Board members, fighting Van Hollan's lawsuit, were disqualified from voting!



Fortunately, you can register to vote in Wisconsin on Election Day with a valid address on a bill and a photo ID. The problem is that if a voter who thought they were registered to vote does bring that information, they could then face a very long line of people who are in the same situation.

all over the country!

The hell with McChicken... the real story is how the Repigs are THIEVES!

It is always faulty software with these theifs.

Since I live in WI I figured I should respond to this one. How is it stealing the election if you can still vote and register in the state the day of the election even without any photo ID. This won't deter anyone from voting. If the name gets deleted from the voter list it simply doesn't matter. Maybe in another state where you can't register to vote the day of the elction, but that isn't the case in WI.

here. But I still don't like to see this crap the Repugs are pulling. I makes voter nervous. Today I got one of those absentee ballot things in the mail from McSame's people.

Please PM me. The Democratic Party officials want to talk to you... seriously.

something with it. Since I am a bit new here, what do you mean PM me?

Here's the list. BTW, I'm deputized to register people to vote statewide in Wisconsin. I know what I'm talking about... add that many will have to stand in line in bigger cities (Madison/Milwaukee) where Obama's support will be the highest and if they have to wait a couple hours, there's a lot of people that may peel off.

Either way, Van Hollen should be arrested and...

But back to the point:

Any of the following may be used as proof if it contains the address of residence:

* A current and valid Wisconsin driver’s license or Wisconsin identification card.
* Any other official identification card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit
* An identification card issued by an employer in the normal course of business, which has a photograph of the cardholder, but not a business card.
* A real estate tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election.
* A residential lease.
* A UW-Madison or Edgewood College ID card with a photograph of the cardholder, if student is listed on certified housing list.
* A utility bill for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before the election.
* A bank statement.
* A paycheck.
* A check or other document issued by a unit of government.

Dane County Circuit Court Judge Marianne Sumi ruled today that Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen can sue the Government Accountability Board even though the board is a client of the attorney general's office.

Lester Pines, the attorney for the GAB, made the conflict-of-interest argument the center of his objection to having Van Hollen involved in the lawsuit. Pines said the Wisconsin Supreme Court rules specifically prohibit a lawyer from suing a client.

But Sumi said that under the Supreme Court provision the attorney general can have deputies enforce laws upon state agencies. That means the attorney general can proceed with the case he filed against the Government Accountability Board.

I hope Obama's increasing support (as people realize McCain can't handle the economy) can canel out whatever he tries.
