At long last, an elected public official is going to actually pursue voter fraud by ACORN. What a concept!
Wisconsin Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen has charged five members of the ACORN with felony voter fraud.
“Two of those charged – Maria Miles, 36, of Milwaukee, and Kevin Clancy, 26, of Racine – worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the embattled community organizing group.
“The complaint alleges that Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, and also were part of a scheme in which they and other (special registration deputies) registered each other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN,” the Van Hollen release says.
Both were charged with one felony count.
Attempts to reach ACORN today were unsuccessful.
Also charged was a couple – Herbert, 60, and Suzanne Gunka, 54, both of Milwaukee – for allegedly double-voting in November 2008, once absentee and once at the polls.
Michael Henderson, 40, was hit with two felony charges of being a felon who cast a ballot even though he was still on probation. The Milwaukee man was convicted in 2005 in Rock County with two felonies for bail jumping and one disorderly conduct misdemeanor.
He was sentenced to five years’ probation.
Each felony count for voter fraud carries a maximum penalty of 3 1/2 years behind bars and a $10,000 fine. All five individuals are scheduled to appear in court on April 20.
The charges were brought as part of the Milwaukee Election Fraud Task Force.”
…..”registered each other multiple times”…..just what we suspect has been happening, right?
Adding to the suspicion of more widespread fraud than is being prosecuted, an assistant Milwaukee County DA is accusing the local police of stalling the investigation, which, he says, has had MAJOR IMPACT on further charges.
