Did Rove Want Wisconsin U.S.A. on Purge List?

Here's what the evidence shows. Karl Rove wanted evidence that there had been a Democratic criminal conspiracy to stuff the ballot box in Milwaukee and New Mexico in 2004. But the U.S. attorneys there didn't deliver. In the case of New Mexico's David Iglesias, that likely cost him his job. Wisconsin's Steve Biskupic only avoided being fired by the skin of his teeth.

Iglesias and Biskupic were the only U.S. attorneys in the country to have launched task forces to investigate voter fraud in the 2004 elections. There's arguably not another U.S. attorney in the country to have so thoroughly investigated such allegations. A review of Biskupic's manifold efforts demonstrates that without a doubt.

Despite that fact, Karl Rove and President Bush himself passed along complaints to Alberto Gonzales in October 2006 about Biskupic's and Iglesias' performance on voter fraud. Iglesias was fired. Biskupic, for some reason, wasn't. But it looks like it was a very close call.

Here's a look at Biskupic's long-running investigation into voter fraud in the 2004 election, Karl Rove's longstanding preoccupation with it, and Biskupic's near escape from being fired.

I keep trying to alert folks to that common denominator. (But they don' listen. (sigh))

You won't find a single instance (under Cheney/Bush) of a Federalist Society member being replaced by a non-member. Not once, afaik. But the overwhelming majority of replacements were non-members being replaced by members.

It's no accident.

by railroading an innocent woman into prison in a project to embarrass WI Gov Doyle when he was standing for re-election in 2006. The woman, her life ruined, was freed by an appellate court due to the nonexistence of evidence against her.
