Election Every Single Democratic Voter in Wisconsin Should Sue State Senator Alberta Darling for Defamation
Posted by Goldy on Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Apparently, there's only one lesson Republicans ever learn from their electoral defeats:
A state senator who served as co-chair of Mitt Romney’s Wisconsin campaign suggested this week that the Republican presidential nominee would have carried the state if a voter ID law had been in place.
Voter ID “absolutely” would have made a difference in the outcome of the election, state Sen. Alberta Darling (R) told Mike Gousha of WISN on Sunday. She suggested that voter fraud helped President Barack Obama win the state.
President Obama won Wisconsin by over 200,000 votes. You do the math as to how many Democratic voters Darling is suggesting should be tossed in jail.

I always assumed Republicans were for voter ID because of the disenfranchisement of legal voters. But the dolts over at RedState actually believe in wide-spread, in-person voter fraud.

@22: Where do you get the /2 term from? Are you assuming that all the phony votes would have otherwise been cast for Romney?

@19 You have evidence that lantern-jawed blonds generally don't like sex?
That picture does a pretty good job of hiding the fact that she's 68. Ooh, next year could be fun for her!

Actually rather than suggesting fraud perhaps this woman is admitting the real reason Republicans are so fond of voter ID laws: They've studied the situation and determined that far more Democratic voters than Republican voters lack photo IDs. She may be alluding to the idea that if there was a voter ID law all of these voters would have been prevented from voting.

@17:
Did you catch the news about the guy in Colorado who planned on shooting Obama, but fortunately told his plans to his therapist? He was also going to shoot up the high school near me.

When I think of the near future of politics, the only thing that concerns me is the doubling down. Not that it will lead to GOP victories (because the opposite will be the result), but that the True Believers out there will eventually be driven to violence. When that happens, the blood will be on the hands of every Republican politician and pundit who tells these lies, and it will be for naught.
Irresponsible motherfuckers.

From the mouths of Senators: "But why, why can’t we have voter ID when the majority of our people in Wisconsin wanted it, we passed it, the governor signed it? Why should one judge in Dane County be able to hold it up?"
Because that's what the Judicial branch DOES, you twit! Its entire reason for existence is to prevent the tyranny of the majority by enforcing Constitutional protections! Congratulations on failing Civics 101.
I would really love a debate moderator to ask candidates to define the different branches of government. I bet the answers would be hilarious...and depressing.

200,000 people committed voter fraud. Rmoney lied 900 times. Ask yourself which is true. The answer is reflected in the results.

The most brilliant page in the playbook: insult EVERYBODY who voted for you opponent. So far, we've been called stupid, lazy, moochers, "others", takers -- and now we're frauds.
Say what you will about him otherwise, but only Newt Gingrich has made a remotely introspective statement about losing, paraphrasing, "When you're as wrong as I was it makes me wonder what it is I don't understand about America."

Yeesh. Nothing like being accused of a felony to start your day off right.

I personally snuck into Wisconsin with a list of 200,000 registered voters who were unlikely to show up at the polls, and then I successfully pretended to be each and every one of them. But please don't tell anyone! I don't want to go to jail for voter fraud!

Nah, he's probably just saying a couple dozen bad apples cast a few thousand illegal votes apiece.

Wow! Go Obama. There's never been a conviction for voter fraud in the state's history and this year he got 200,000 illegal voters in 1 year without leaving any evidence whatsoever. He's amazing. No wonder he won. If he can do that he can certainly fix the problems in this country.
