"and that padding the voter registration rolls with fake
voters doesn’t matter anyway" <--- Great argument! If doesn't
really matter then why do it? Seems like a pretty big risk to take just because
it doesn't matter.

Thanks
Kirsten. If you ever read left-of-center websites (I force myself to read
TalkingPointsMemo, a little, every day), you will see that they often put scare
quotes around the words voter fraud, as if this is just another right-wing
fantasy. They also contend that prosecuting voter fraud is tantamount to
voter suppression and intimidation, and that padding the voter registration
rolls with fake voters doesn’t matter anyway because simply registering
as a fake voter doesn’t translate into actual fake votes (as if
questionable absentee ballots haven’t decided actual races, or that it’s
impossible for someone to show up at a polling place, pretend to be a fake
voter, get a ballot and vote).
I
know, it’s hard to believe anyone would just laugh off or try to explain
away voter fraud, but that’s what they do….and stories like this show
this is a real problem, and the people who engage in it are flat-out
criminal. Thank God AG Van Hollen is taking this seriously and
(hopefully) getting these crooks thrown in the slammer.

Well,
my guess is that the people who told them that this sort of behavior was
acceptable are still running around, paying no price whatsoever. But at least
this sends a message that people are watching.

FORMER ACORN WORKER FOUND GUILTY OF ELECTION FRAUD
MILWAUKEE
– Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that Maria Miles,
a former ACORN worker, pleaded guilty to and was convicted of one count of
election fraud – falsely procuring voter registration, arising out of the
November 4, 2008, Presidential Election. Miles was charged by the
Election Fraud Task Force, a collaborative effort between
the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Milwaukee District Attorney’s
Office and the Milwaukee Police Department.
According
to the criminal complaint, Miles served as a Special Registration Deputy
(“SRD”) for the City of Milwaukee in advance of the 2008
Presidential Election and worked for the Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (“ACORN”). By entering a plea of guilty today,
Miles admitted to submitting multiple voter registration applications for the
same individuals, and also being part of a scheme in which she and other SRDs
registered each other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter
registration quotas imposed by ACORN.
Miles
is charged in the same complaint as Kevin Clancy, also a former ACORN
worker. Clancy’s case is scheduled for a guilty plea hearing on
September 22, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.
The
charge against Miles, a Class I felony, carries a potential penalty of
imprisonment up to 3 ½ years and a $10,000 fine. She is scheduled to be sentenced
on October 15, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Richard Sankovitz.
Prior
to the November 2008 election, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Milwaukee
County District Attorney John Chisholm announced the creation of the Election
Fraud Task Force, a multi-jurisdictional action team that evaluates,
investigates and prosecutes complaints of electoral fraud. The Wisconsin
Department of Justice and the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office
work cooperatively with local law enforcement and the Milwaukee Police
Department as needed when investigation is required.
Assistant
Attorney General David W. Maas is representing the State.
