Forget who "stole" Ohio, who stole Wisconsin?

Now that Air America is on the air again here in Chicago, I can listen up on how Bush "stole" Ohio from Kerry last November.

But what went on in another midwestern state won't come up a lot on either Jerry Springer's or Al Franken's Air America rants. Or at all.

From AP via CBS 2 Chicago:

Investigators said Tuesday they found about 4,500 more ballots were cast in the Nov. 2 election in Milwaukee than people who registered to vote in the city.

Investigators also said they found more than 100 instances of suspected double-voting and more than 200 felons who voted improperly in Milwaukee.

It goes on:

Democrat John Kerry received more than 71 percent of the 277,000 ballots cast in Milwaukee in the presidential race. Kerry won Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes by about 11,000 votes.

Vote fraud was not the only mischief going on in Milwaukee on election day, as two adult children of prominent Wisconsin Democrats, as well as some other overly-eager Dems, were involved in slashing the tires of vans rented by the Wisconsin Republican Party for its get-out-the-vote effort.
