Wisconsin Republicans To Run Fake Primary Challengers


Joshua Spivak reports the four Democratic state Senate hopefuls in Wisconsin will all face "fake" primary opponents. Republican leaders confirmed the tactic which they also used in last year's recall races.

"The goal is to push the election so it is on the same day as the Walker recall -- otherwise, the Democrats may have had a serious advantage in those races (as their votes would be more likely to come out for the Gubernatorial primary vote)."

1. We should establish a maxim that says, "In all cases, Republicans will cheat."

That should keep it simple

2. I expect no less.

Republicans don't know how to run a fair, aboveboard election.

4. +1

And the thugs are as dirty here as they are anywhere else.

3. I hope the WI Democratic party

identifies these 'fake' Democrats by all means necessary to ensure that the electorate does not get defrauded.
