The explanation for why US Atty Stephen Biskupic's reached out of his district (the Eastern Dist. of Wisconsin) into the city of Madison (a liberal stronghold in the Western Dist. of Wisconsin) in the search for voter fraud is not given in the Capital Times piece that broke Saturday (though the question is suggested):

As part of a push to prosecute voter fraud cases across the country, federal prosecutors in Milwaukee requested the voting rolls for the city of Madison from the November 2004 election, according to documents released to Congressional investigators looking into last year’s firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. 

Why did Biskupic, like he did in the discredited Georgia Thompson prosecution, reach into the Western Dist. when there were not even partisan allegations of voter fraud in Madison like in Milwaukee after 2004?

Could it be the overwhelming Democratic-leaning electorate of the city of Madison (and its out-of-state students who declare Wisconsin residency status) that provides a winning margin for Democrats in close statewide elections?

Why not investigate the Republican-dominated city of Waukesha?

I would like to hear what Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, and our federal and state legislative representatives have to say about this suspicious probe of Biskupic's.
