Dems Cry Foul Early Into Election Day; Sen. Taylor Demands Investigation

With only about four hours into the Election Day voting, members of the Milwaukee Democratic Party claim that calls are going out to voters telling them if they'd signed the recall, they didn't need to vote today.

Milwaukee County Dem Chair Sachin Chheda said that Walker supporters can't get through the day without "cheating."

“This latest lowlife sleaze comes on the heels of countless reports from around the state of various Republican dirty tricks on behalf of Walker," Chheda said in a statement. "For instance, reports surfaced last weekend that Walker supporters are paying homeowners to post Walker signs on their lawns."

and it shouldn't be to difficult with voicemail, wouldn't that be real election fraud rather than the claims of Florida that illegals are voting left and right?

If an election is determined to have been won with voting fraud, what happens? What if the election is close and a few hundred of disenfranchised voter make a difference? Is it redone? Does it go to the other guy? Is it just overlooked? I really have no clue?

Let's hope the Democrats win by such a large margin that the GOP can't possibly cry fraud.

But before there can be an investigation, first we need 3000 Senators, or some other thing that we will never have.

As for your strawman "3000 Senators" remark, it would have taken only a few more votes our way to improve what was passed. No need to distort the explaination or to imply that we will never have the numbers we need. Most of us are working hard to improve the numbers.

And if they dont, it just means liberals were too lazy to get him the numbers he would need to do it.
