Wisconsin target of voter suppression by Clinton campaign?

Posted May 2nd, 2008 by warmmidwest

Once again, during Wisconsin's February Presidential Primary Election, hundreds of voter registration forms were received late. And once again, the group responsible was Women's Voices. Women Vote.

WVWV has strong connections to the Clinton campaign, and what's more damaging is that the group's robo calls provided voting misinformation targeting women and African Americans.

And no, this isn't idle speculation, or the work of unskilled interns. It's a pattern of voter supression that's ignited tens of thousands of complaints across 23 states.

NPR has the whole story, and calls the association with the Clinton camp "beyond dubious."

UPDATE: DailyKos has the whole breakdown. And note that each time a state has complained about the practice to WVWV they've said they'll stop it ... but they don't.

Hmm, it looks like Clinton better sue this group.

Since as you point out,it has connections to the Clinton campaign,it may have cost her Wisconsin. If they had turned in these registrations on time, Hillary may have carried Wisconsin.

Oh, but wait Wisconsin has same day registration so no foul. Just because Obama is going, going, gone, there is no use trying to pull Hillary down with him.

Yes

So you're not bothered or ticked off that this organization, with such obvious close ties to a presidential bid, has ignored Wisconsin state deadlines for voter registration that resulted in your fellow citizen votes not being counted; you're not bothered and see no probem with an organization that supresses Wisconsin votes and has been investigated for identity theft in other states; or that a U.S. Attorney General declared the organization's robo call activities illegal and worthy of investigation?

Lawsuit? Whoa!

You can fire them from working as a shell group for your campaign first, dontcha think?
