In 2004, the Milwaukee GOP was shrieking in high-pitched voices about "voter fraud!" They spent huge amounts of time and money on signature verification and poring over voter rolls, and felt vindicated when they found 18 bad votes. Out of the whole city. (<a href="http://www.truthaboutfraud.org/pdf/TruthAboutVoterFraud.pdf" rel="nofollow">See pages 29-32</a>)<br /><br />Now Dan Hunt, head of the Recall Robert Wirch Committee, is <a href="http://www.kenoshanews.com/home/calls_to_petition_signers_anger_leader_of_wirch_recall_135655227.html" rel="nofollow">angered by telephone calls</a> that ask a simple question: <i>“The Democratic Party is clearly attempting to intimidate those who signed the petitions,” Hunt said in a prepared statement. “This harassment should be halted immediately, and Sen. Wirch should denounce the tactics employed by the Democrats in their attempt to disenfranchise recall petitioners.”</i><br /><br />This is "intimidation" <i>how</i>, exactly? Are the mean phone calls going to scare the signatures off the page?<br /><br />So when does the GOP think it's "reasonable efforts to validate the vote," and when is it "thuggery and intimidation"? Especially when the "reasonable effort" included slashing tires on GOTV cars, and the "thuggery" involves calling someone and asking "did you know what you were signing?"<br /><br /><i>it must be very unsettling to people... to receive a phone call at home when phone numbers were not part of the petition.</i><br /><br />Wow, yeah. <a href="http://www.phonenumber.com/" rel="nofollow">I can't</a> see <a href="http://www.dexknows.com/" rel="nofollow">how anybody</a> could <a href="http://www.switchboard.com/" rel="nofollow">have dug</a> those <a href="http://www.whitepages.com/" rel="nofollow">numbers up</a>.
