Right-wing election fraud found in Wisconsin

Do you seriously think every election in America is on the level?

You do? Wait, you don't.

And this article is more proof that the Republicans are rigging elections:

It boils down to this: The Republicans, the misnamed Americans for Prosperity, and Tea Party groups have joined up to suppress the vote in Wisconsin. This practice - known as vote caging - involves sending mail to addresses on lists of voters and later challenging their votes. The result is that these voters have to cast provisional ballots - 35% of which are not counted at all.

This also creates longer lines at the polling places - forcing other voters to just get up and leave.

Needless to say, this practice targets Democratic areas.

And it's illegal - but it's been going on for quite some time.

One wonders how many votes are going to be lost - again. At least now we know not to abide by any Republican upsets in Wisconsin.
