I doubt it. He is a faith based righty. He cited one instance for which the perpetrators are being punished. He will try to parlay that in to a state wide conspiracy. He has already mis stated that they were found guilty of vote fraud. That is simply not true. Anyone who reads the article can see that for themselves. But will he correct himself? I won't hold my breath.

There is a wealth of information which supports the Wisconsin voter fraud charge. Please keep in mind that Wisconsin and its 10 electoral votes, not Ohio, was the most closely contested state in the last election. Here's a small sample of what's out there from powerline. powerlineblog.com And this... Wisconsin Vote Fraud Update Stranded on Blue Islands brings our attention something Captain Ed has found out - that there has been a 5% decrease in the population of Milwaukee over the past 8 years, but a 32% increase in Milwaukee voters: The increase in votes for the 2000 election was 18.7% over 1996 in a county that had had a net decrease in population of 2% over the past decade. In 2004, despite a population decrease of 3.2% in the past three years, the voter response increased in Milwaukee County by 11.2% over the already-ballooned turnout of 2000. While Milwaukee County lost 5% of its overall population over the past thirteen years and accelerating in the past three, votes cast increased an unbelievable 32% in the past eight years. Proof of fraud? Well, of course not - but it is rather remarkable, don't you think? The problem seems to center around that same-day voter registration - and, apparently, you don't even need ID...just someone who is already registered to vouch for you. What this means is that you can illegally register yourself (if, say, you are a thoroughgoing "progressive" who believes that the end justifies the means) and once registered you can "vouch" for dozens, scores or hundreds of other illegal voters. Pretty neat, huh? UPDATE: Regarding that provision which allows registered voters to vouch for ID-less voting-day registrants: Seems that a lot of "vouchers" refused to sign an affidavit regarding their assertions: thirty vanloads of voters brought in by liberal activists. Most of these voters had no ID or utility bills and it was the liberal activists themselves who vouched for them as residents -- as allowed by law -- allowing them to vote. At one point things got so ugly regarding challenges that the Attorney General had to intervene. It seems the people who vouched for the ID-less were refusing to sign a particular form swearing these voters were residents. The AG told them it was required and if they were found lying it was a federal offense. They refused to sign, the vans stopped coming, but hundreds had gotten through. This is all the proof we need - if it was all legit, the vouchers would have had no problem signing the affidavits; that they refused proves (conclusively, in my view) that they were knowingly bringing in bogus voters to change the outcome of the election.
