Report on WI election shows the system is a mess
Coverage thanks to Blue Cheddar.
And thanks to the League of Women Voters for their dogged pursuit of voting rights.
* In some polling sites there were election observers who were very aggressive and who intimidated election
officials and, in some cases, voters. At some sites in Milwaukee, Racine and La Crosse, these observers
brought challenges to the right of a number of young people to register to vote.
...
* At several polling sites, people who said they had registered in 2011 or earlier this year were not listed as
being registered
...
* There were a number of reports from around the state about individuals who did not have adequate proof of-residence documentation, but who did have one or more registered voters, including their parents, who could have vouched for them before the law was changed to ban corroboration as proof of residence.
What is still lacking from this report is an observation of the chain of custody for the votes (by that I mean who handled the ballots and how, where they were stored, and what condition they were in when they emerged). Also no mention is made of the integrity or lack thereof of the voting machines used on June 5th in Wisconsin.
Here's the
full report.
