Wisconsin AG calls cops on voters

Now it's a crime in Wisconsin to vote?

I guess so - if you're not a Republican. Wisconsin's Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen wants to place police officers and state prosecutors in polling places in Democratic areas to intimidate voters.

How is this even legal? It isn't. But why is it tolerated?

Incidentally, Van Hollen is also co-chair of the Republicans' presidential campaign in Wisconsin. (Van Hollen's rise is also due in part to the detestable former Gov. Tommy Thompson, one of the meanest major politicians in America in the '90s.)

If I lived in Wisconsin and was threatened in any way by J.B. Van Hollen's machine, I would sue him so fast it would make his stupid face spin.

Van Hollen's efforts follow demands by Republicans that police and military personnel monitor polls in Democratic-leaning Milwaukee - but not in Republican areas. The GOP also demanded that voters' ID's be checked only in Milwaukee - again, not in Republican locales.
