Here's a reassuring bit of news.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that US Atty Stephen Biskupic stands ready to investigate any cases arising from casting votes in tommorow's presidential primary, if someone complains and the Milwaukee Co DA begs out from investigating.
Writes John Diedrich:
U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic said his prosecutors and the FBI will be available to investigate cases if citizens are dissatisfied with the response they get from the city Election Commission, police or local prosecutors.
- See Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Biskupic, among his other malfeasance, prosecuted several overturned "voter fraud" cases (see also Voter-Fraud Complaints by GOP Drove Dismissals) that came to light during the US Attorney scandal.
Biskupic stands ready to intimidate voters, but, hey, that's why he kept his job when challenged for not being a loyal bushie.
As Scott Horton writes:
... On one document concerning the failure of Milwaukee U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic to bring ‘vote fraud’ prosecutions, Karl Rove has scribbled a note ‘Discuss w/Harriet.’ In fact we know that Biskupic was on the ‘to-fire’ list. He then began to bring a series of politically motivated prosecutions, including the case against Georgia Thompson that the Seventh Circuit dismissed as ‘preposterous.’ And Biskupic then disappeared from the "to-fire" list. So what discussions Rove had with Miers are right at the heart of the inquiry. But the White House offer ruled that off limits.
