Summary of Election Problems
Washburn's World
Thursday, March 24, 2005
I have tried to explain the election issues in the City of Milwaukee and elsewhere to several people over the last few days. I occurred to me that many people think there is a problem with the November 2, 2005 election in Milwaukee / Wisconsin. There are more than 20 distinct problems uncovered so far. So in the interest of clarity I tried to summarize the problems know at this time.
Summary of Election Irregularities in SE Wisconsin.
<<<
Bad / Corrupted Poll List.
Bad Addresses
The Republican party compared the addresses from a purchased mailing list to the addresses on the electronic version of the City of Milwaukee poll list. The City claims the commercial list had bad names. The party counters only addresses were compared, not names. The party claims 37,000 invalid addresses are present on the poll list and asks that registration records for such addresses be struck. The request is denied.

Fraudulent Voter Registration
Fraudulent Registrars
Claims exist that the registrars hired by Project Vote were not qualified to be election registrars. Bad Registrars Trial is pending.

Fraudulent Registrations
Claims exist that the registrars hired by Project Vote were committed election fraud by submitting registrations for non-existent people. E.g. Marquis F. Murff in jsonline.com
Fraud In Room 501
Affidavits exist claiming an employee of the City Election Commission directed an election registrar to commit election fraud by directing the registrar to attest to examining identification papers of registrants when the registrar did not perform said document examination.

Absentee Ballot Problems
Absentee vote not delivered
238 absentee ballots not delivered to polling places. Since 6,000 nearly did not get delivered, 285 is not too bad. jsonline.com
Absentee vote envelope lacks Clerk Signature
The envelope containing an absentee ballot needs to be signed by the election official. In Milwaukee this is the office of the Election Commission. jsonline.com
***
Same Day Registration.
Registration Cards returned.
Address was entered onto the registration form. But the US post office returned the card as undeliverable address. jsonline.com jsonline.com. Some unknown portion of 7,000 to 10,000 ballots are in this category.
Registration Cards returned. Person not at Address
Address was entered onto the registration form. But the resident of the address returned the card as no such person, return to sender. jsonline.com. Some unknown portion of 7,000 to 10,000 ballots are in this category.
Registration Cards not mailed. (failure of officials to follow law)
City of Racine failed to mail cards from same-day registrants until asked by reports as to when the cards were mailed. Mailing is required by state statutes.
Registration Cards not mailed. (Card too illegible or incomplete to mail)
City of Milwaukee. Many cards for same day registrants were either incomplete or illegible. Here is a example: graphics.jsonline.com and the accompanying story, jsonline.com (1300 such ballots cast)

Erroneous machine tallies not rejected and required hand tallies not performed
This is expressly required by state statute 7.51(2)(h). If errors are discovered in the machine tallies, the canvass must be done by hand. District 1 Germantown the machine tally was short 11 ballots, but the ballots were in the machine lock box. In Milwaukee, Neenah, Racine and elsewhere, machine tallies showed more ballots cast than electors. In still other places the machine tally showed fewer ballots cast then electors voting, but with no investigation by the poll inspectors as to the source of the discrepancy. At least Germantown found the discrepancy was from a software error.
