State GOP official pushed vote fraud issue
Posted: April 7, 2007

Daniel Bice
No Quarter


The mystery is solved.

For weeks, it was unclear who whined to the White House last year that not enough voter fraud cases were being prosecuted in Milwaukee.

Now we know.

The state Republican Party went straight to the top in its efforts to make voter fraud an issue in Wisconsin.

Sources tell No Quarter that Rick Wiley, then the executive director of the state GOP, directed a staffer in 2005 to prepare a 30-page report on election abuses in Wisconsin so Wiley could pass it along to a top White House official.

That document, entitled "Fraud in Wisconsin 2004: A Timeline/Summary," turned up last week in the horde of White House and U.S. Justice Department records released by the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

"The report was prepared for Karl Rove," said a source with knowledge of the situation. "Rick wanted it so he could give it to Karl Rove."

Yeah, that Karl Rove, President Bush's political mastermind and his deputy chief of staff.

The same guy who was knee-deep in helping decide which U.S. attorneys to keep or to boot.

1. Rove undertook the "voter fraud" campaign to counter the mounting evidence
of GOP election crimes.

Why else put so much time and energy into a topic with almost no substance (people voting illegally)?

This time, it's backfiring in a very big way.

3. Also to use as cover for voter intimidation activities.

6. AND finally, to serve as rationale for "reform" legislation, such as
the photo ID bill which was struck down by Georgia's Supreme Court, which have the effect -- the REAL intent -- of repressing the minority, poor and elderly vote, OUR (Democratic) voters.

This is no small matter.

From their point of view it's a win / win / win proposition. The only people losing are Democrats. Of course, it's profoundly anti-American, and anti-democracy.

4. Projection, their usual tactic...they are guilty of ELECTION fraud, so they had to
make up stories about non-existent VOTER fraud to deflect attention away from their own crimes.

CHARGE THESE CRIMINALS AND THROW THEM IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THEIR SORRY-ASSED WORTHLESS LITTLE LIVES. NOW.

That is all.

5. Hit the other side where it is strong .... classic Rove
Kerry is a war hero and bush went AWOL from his safe unit to avoid
a piss test ..... so you have people talk about Dan Rather and forged
documents & "swift boat" Kerry.

Steal and election in 2000 with illegal actions and plan on stealing one
in 2004 .... talk about democratic vote fraud.

But trust me a "new wind" is blowing in Ohio w/ Jennifer Brunner &
the new A.G. Marc Dann ..... the crimes of 04 are about to be outed
big time.
