Newest Fool on Voter Suppression Case: Wigderson

What happened to all the voter fraud nonsense from which our intrepid Attorney General was going to protect us?

With the great number of people casting votes that saw Wisconsin at number two in voter turnout in the nation, the GAB reports that the elections were "virtually problem-free."

Now, another rightwinger, Wigderson from Waukesha, plays the fool on the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board's (GAB) maintenance of its statewide registered voter list (SVRS) and the Van Hollen v. Government Accountability Board case.

The GAB, as it said it would, will ask for checks of SVRS against other existing databases, and it is now doing so, per its authority and responsibility and discretion.

The rightwing was right all along, say the know nothings.

Is this ignorance deliberate? It must be, no one can be that dumb.

Unless the GAB makes the database match (between the statewide voter registration list (SVRS) and the DOT, DOR and Social Security databases) a precondition to voting, it is in compliance with Wisconsin’s constitutionally protected right to establish its voter eligibility standards in accordance with existing law, as the text of Judge Sumi's decision to dismiss reads.

The text in HAVA mandates that Wisconsin takes due care to see that eligible voters are not thrown off the voter rolls. The GAB has been and is exercising that care. If it does not exercise that care, we should seek administrative and judicial remedies

For example, the GAB refused to mandate the checks on election day and force widespread provisional voting.

The GOP wanted the GAB to work on the GOP's timeframe, and to see that the checks became determinative to voting, stopping the dreaded "voter fraud." Voter fraud, that's what experts call: Bullshit.

So Attorney General Van Hollen's staff met with GOP politicos and confirmed that it would file the lawsuit.

Though Van Hollen said that the Wisconsin Attorney General was the ultimate decider on administering Wisconsin elections in this case as he sought his writ of mandamus to stop voter fraud and preserve the integrity of the election, his and the GOP's view was panned and the case was tossed.

The problem was that forcing re-registrations on Election Day would have created very long lines, confusion, generally suppressing votes. That's what Van Hollen and the GOP wanted and that's what they did not get.

So again, what happened to all the voter fraud nonsense from which our intrepid Attorney General was going to protect us? Where did voter fraud occur when the GAB was acting outside the law, as Van Hollen said it was?
