We'll never know, because the records aren't good enough to tell us. But a joint federal-state investigation of last November's election in Milwaukee has found incontrovertible evidence of voter fraud. Fraud seems to have permeated the election in Milwaukee, where John Kerry got his margin of victory; he carried Wisconsin by around 11,000 votes.

The Milwaukee investigation has revealed that the number of ballots counted there exceeds, by 4,609, the number of people recorded as voting. There is no evident explanation for this other than ballot box stuffing. In addition, investigators found "more than 200 cases of felons voting illegally and more than 100 people who voted twice, used fake names or false addresses or voted in the name of a dead person."


One thing I've learned from the governor's race in WA state, there probably is no state in the union that has an accurate accounting of their election returns. The only difference between states.......some states have more fraud than others but all states have some non criminal irregularities. Its a problem that needs to be improved upon now that the nation is so divided and vote counts are so close.

And despite the fraud, Kerry still managed a win. Amazing...
