Billing from the Palm Beech Post!

Koch acknowledges his group is hard at work in places such as Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker is facing off with public unions and grappling with a likely recall vote.

“We’re helping him, as we should. We’ve gotten pretty good at this over the years,” he says. “We’ve spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We’re going to spend more.” Palm Beech Post – Koch

Tax payers money “raining down”

Operation Rainmaker is a tax fraud scam where people in Tampa, Florida were caught filling fake tax returns and expecting the money to “rain down” on them.

Authorities say the tax fraud ring made huge amounts of quick cash by stealing the identities of grandmothers, babies, the deceased, and even a Police Lieutenant. They say they used the information to file fraudulent Turbo Tax returns and operated right under Uncle Sam’s nose.
Tampa Tax Fraud

When lawyers and legislators of any party or philosophical bent use taxpayers money to secretly draft legislation, how are they any better than the people from Tampa who stole identities to collect tax refunds? The taxpayers of Wisconsin include the same victims as in the Tampa Rain Maker scam; most people pay taxes. Since when can such obviously fraudulent and secret activity be dismissed as political maneuvering?

Apparently, since last April 26,2011 when the secret deal was signed by Eric M. McLeod and Stephan L. Nass.

All the agreements were also signed by Eric McLeod of Michael Best & Friedrich, one of several attorneys who advised lawmakers on the maps. Legislative leaders have committed $400,000 in taxpayer money to pay Michael Best and the Troupis Law Office for their work on the maps.

McLeod has drawn attention in recent months for providing legal services to state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman under an arrangement in which Gableman did not have to pay. “GOP – Ignore the Public Comments”

Link to Pdf of Michael Best letter

Taxpayers left outside “person of priviledge”

One of the victims of the Rainmaker Scam said he felt he was victimized twice; once when he lost his return, and again when he found no redress to correct the injustice. So it is with the taxpayers of Wisconsin. Have we entered into some brave new age where legislators can collude with law firms to draft partisan legislation on the taxpayers dime? The battle cry of the American Revolution was “No taxation without representation.”, and it appears that is precisely the indictment that must be handed to the Fitzgerald brothers, Stephan Nass, and Eric McLeod.

All of those pictured right, stole taxpayer’s funds. Only two are white and wearing suits.

The envelope please…

Two brothers, Jeff and Scott Fitzgerald, control the Wisconsin Assembly and the Senate. They seem to be the nominees for this years Class I felony awards and the air is filled with tension as Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne receives the “envelope” containing the winner’s name. The envelope is not your typical business size variety. No. This is more of a package containing 84 documents recording communications between the Michaeal Best Law firm and the GOP legislators who drew up the new district voting maps. The contents of this envelope could well declare the winner of the Class I Felony award, and the judge is reviewing the documents as you read this. The winner will rise from the Assembly or Senate floor amidst flashing cameras and shocked reaction of those assembled to approach the dais to give credit to all those who served behind the scenes, with a speech that will likely begin with, “I don’t know who to thank first”. Regardless of which brother is the winner, the recipent is likely to acknowledge their father, who was appointed by Walker as the head of the Wisconsin State Patrol. One can only imagine how the speech could continue but read a possible transcript in the side bar at the right.

Speech…Speech! I could not have done this without the expert guidance of Scott Walker, who demonstrated the courage and disregard of ethics during his campaign, to inspire me to accomplish these measures. I would like the thank all of the attorneys of the Michael Best and Troupis Law Offices and especially Eric McLeod whose name appears on many of the documents whose content has allowed me to accept this award. One does not accomplish great feats in a vacuum and I must give credit to American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) for their continued and undaunted efforts to manipulate state legislation, even though they had no acquaintance with the people of Wisconsin who would be affected. Then there are those brave GOP legislators who agreed to the confidentiality agreement. They have demonstrated the highest degree of heroism in quaffing the laws and statutes that protect Democracy in the State of Wisconsin. It is by their silence to the unethical maneuvering to produce maps, which are most beneficial to the greedy few, that I am here to accept this year’s Class I Felony Award. Thank you!

One Lawmaker – who asked not to be named

Who is this lawmaker…who had the courage to rebuke the Brothers Fitzgerald?
(From the transcript of the most recent broadcast of Wisconsin Public Television’s – Here and Now)

According to one lawmaker, who asked not to be named, the logic they were given was the maps and documents would be protected by attorney-client privileges and the secrecy pledges were needed to protect that. But this lawmaker he told me he felt part of the pledge was intimidation to keep the rank and file from complaining. The lawmaker was shown two versions of the map, one more favorable and one less favorable, and was told if he didn’t go along, the less favorable would become law.

Laws Broken – Class I Felony?

The state statutes cited below state in legalese that it is a Class I felony for legislator to attempt to influence the vote of another legislator by promising a beneficial outcome, like showing a legislator two different maps, one more beneficial then the other, in order to influence that legislators vote = Logrolling.(defined in 13.05)

It is also a Class I felony for a legislator to promise to vote for legislation in order to receive a benefit or favor from the governor, like agreeing on a district map in order to gain an edge in future elections when the map boundaries are signed into law by the governor. = Executive Favor. (defined in 13.06)

13.05 Logrolling prohibited. Any member of the legislature who gives, offers or promises to give his or her vote or influence in favor of or against any measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature in consideration or upon condition that any other person elected to the same legislature will give or will promise or agree to give his or her vote or influence in favor of or against any other measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in such legislature, or who gives, offers or promises to give his or her vote or influence for or against any measure on condition that any other member will give his or her vote or influence in favor of any change in any other bill pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature, is guilty of a Class I felony.

13.06 Executive favor. Any member of the legislature who gives, offers or promises to give his or her vote or influence in favor of or against any measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature, or that has already been passed by either house of the legislature, in consideration of or on condition that the governor approve, disapprove, veto or sign, or agree to approve, disapprove, veto or sign, any other measure or proposition pending or proposed to be introduced in the legislature or that has already been passed by the legislature, or either house thereof, or in consideration or upon condition that the governor nominate for appointment or appoint or remove any person to or from any office or position under the laws of this state, is guilty of a Class I felony.

Give-Away Money Must Be Reclaimed ASPA

Infact, shedding Walker/Fitzgerald would put about 468 dollars in voter’s pockets!

Walker cheated Wisconsin out of $846 Million dollars while a recall election could cost $9,000,000.

FACT
One of his signature promises was a rejection of $810 million in federal stimulus dollars for high-speed rail between Milwaukee and Madison.
Huffington Post

FACT
Madison – The state will turn down $38 million in federal money that could have gone to implementing the federal health care law in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker said Wednesday.
JS Online

Walker has Rejected, Returned, Refused the people of Wisconsin 948 Million Dollars

If you subtract the 9 million cost of the recall election the balance is $939 million. About 2 million people voted in the 2008 gubernatorial election.

Walker cheated $468 from each voter, whether they voted for him or not.

Why Was the 948,000,000 Rejected?

The answer sends out an alarm as to the stubborn instability of the current Governor of Wisconsin. The money was rejected out of aberration of personality; a stubborn instability that puts his agenda, and his allegiance to contributors over the welfare of the people.

The answer demands a firm rejection of the Walker/Fitzgerald aberration of politics as soon as possible.

Van Hollen Files Suit to Purge Voter Rolls – Will You Make the Cut?

The suit presented in this post was dismissed in 2009 – the motives and misinformation regarding voter fraud concerns are present and on-going.

Attorney General Van Hollen has filed suit against the Government Accountability Board. Director Keven Kennedy and each member of the board is listed as individual party in his “complaint”.

In other words, he wants to purge the voter registration roles state-wide.

Pursuant to a grant of federal money, Wisconsin has developed the ability to ensure that fraudulent registrants and other ineligible voters are removed from the list before election day. In some cases, this requires registration information to be compared to information contained in other pubic databases. However, despite a clear legal obligation to do so, the Defendants, who control Wisconsin’s statewide, computerized voting list, refuse to verify the registration information provided to it prior to August 6, 2008.

Van Hollen Complaint

This Is Little More Than a Carnival Hucksters Trick

Most of us just approach the carnival game without knowledge of what’s under the counter or up the huckster’s sleeve. You say “vote fraud” – I say “election fraud” – put down your money, move the shells, then off to the tilt-a-whirl.

Fortunately, there is a Consumer Reports Magazine covering voting issues published in an effort to unscramble the whole voting snarl. Voting issues are complex and chaotic by intention, just like a con man will use language and slight of hand to confuse the victim out their money, in the case of voting, language and slight of hand is used to confuse the victim out of their vote.

Van Hollen’s suit to purge every existing poll book in every ward in the state, presents a prime example of a classic con. What’s the motive? Why would he do this? If you read his document and all the legal jargon, with reference to statutes, it sounds like he is citing a real and present danger. He is protecting the peoples’ vote from “fraud”. Welcome to the shell game. Vote fraud is when a person votes illegally; when they cast a ballot more than once or vote even though they aren’t entitled.

Step Right Up – You Win Every Time

Vote Fraud is the trick card. It is designed to fool you. Although it can and does occur, the danger of vote fraud swaying an election is one hair off the head of a wimp, when compared to the real serial killer of elections. ELECTION FRAUD. Election fraud is tampering with the vote totals by hacking or electronically flipping votes. The effect on the number of votes is obvious when comparing wimpy “vote fraud” and serial killer “election fraud”. How many people would need to vote twice to equal the thousands (14,000 comes to mind) votes which can be flipped by electronic computer manipulation or hacking?

Back to Van Hollen’s Suit

The State Attorney General is doing an exemplary huckster’s job of confusing us with the “vote fraud” hat trick to get us to focus on the wimp while the serial killer is left unmentioned. He is purging the roles as a partisan trick to garner more votes for his agenda. This is not a lefty activist ranting. Here is an explanation from a non-partisan, academic source:

The views and opinions expressed in this page are strictly those of the page author.
The contents of this page have not been reviewed or approved by the University of Minnesota.

Update 2008 State Database Suppression Tactics are Hot this Year:

A widespread voter suppression tactic this year is the removal of voters from the State controlled election databases
Another tactic of State controlled database voter removal will be the election roster books. Printed versions can have people “removed”, though actually in the State database, just not in the printed version at the polling place. I can hear it now: “Oops, computer error.” Electronic versions of vote rosters can just be fritzed and not work in targeted areas to cause delays or late changes to “lose” people from the rosters. Even “live” changes as the elections are in progress can occur with some computerized vote roster systems. Data base tc.umn.edu

That pretty much sums up Van Hollen’s suit and motive. He is tricking us to focus on the wimp so as not to notice the threat of the serial killer. Don’t be fooled by the huckster’s rant or the flashing lights. He is out to kill your vote.

This was the most read post on the “Free Wisconsin” blog last year.

It was posted Saturday, June 18, 2011 and was read by 2,898 people. The issue of mis-dated poll tape was not addressed by Tim Verhoff, whose opinion was the sole basis for the determination that Waukesha County Clerk, Kathy Nicholaus was innocent of any wrong doing in the Spring Supreme Court Election. She remains in her position today.

A slip of paper is the “deep throat” of the Supreme Court Election Fraud

It is peculiar how the smallest, most innocent, observation can become the “straw that breaks the camel’s back”.

Barb With was volunteering as an observer at the Waukesha recount when she made a glaring discovery. The poll tape that was being counted and matched for votes cast in the April 5 election for Supreme Court Justice was dated March 30, 2011. When she brought the suspicious date to the attention of election officials, they could not come up with any reason for the mis-dated poll tape.

Weeks later Barb appeared before the Assembly Committee for Election and Campaign Reform. This is a portion of her testimony:

An observer of the Waukesha County recount noticed such a small, innocent piece of paper that was spit out of a voting machine in Pewaukee. It was a poll tape from a voting machine on which is recorded your vote. But what caught her eye was the date at the top of the tape: 03-30-2011 or March 30. That was six days before the Supreme Court election of April 5!

I recall the face book messages in the group Election Integrity as she communicated the finding to the group. “Get a picture!”, and she did.

Probably a test?
Ok. You must admit this is well…..suspicious. Her first inquiries about what it was, what it was doing there, and how it came to be in the official recount material, was met with the response, “It was probably a test.” I guess this goes along with the “human error” defense of all that is Waukesha, but look the time stamp on the tape Mary spotted was: 01:40 a.m.!

I know there are dedicated election officials out there, but who would run a test of a voting machine in those wee hours of the morning? Can you imagine the scenario? A person leans over to his/her mate and says: “Honey, I can’t sleep. I’m going down to the Court house and do a quick test of the voting machines”.

No such machine in Pewaukee

The other explanation for the poll tape was something like, “There were no electronic votes cast in Pewaukee,” Response? “Oh. Ok. My mistake. I must not be seeing a poll tape from a voting machine that clearly says, “Pewaukee”. “I must change my medication.” Come on. If there are no such machines in Pewaukee, how did such a poll tape record materialize?

Trying to bury the photos

The people in the Election Integrity group have posted and shared the photos with friends, newspapers, and media and have found something fishy. The links and posts have been deleted from postings or reported to the face book admin as being “inappropriate”. Is someone pulling a “Scott Walker stealing all the papers from his College election” action? There seems to be an attempt to keep the photos out of view and the story hushed.

When this story was first shared on face book – 3:15 p.m. May 26 it was blocked.
The message below appeared on a Bloggers Link:

We are on to something……..????

Another Unanswered Question

To date, no one has come up with a plausible explanation for the poll tape that appeared during the recount process in Waukesha, not even the Government Accounting Board GAB (That is BAG backwards!) See GAB Behind the Curtain post.

So why hasn’t the GAB demonstrated some concern in the highly irregular March Poll tapes findings? It turns out that any questions about the integrity of the Wisconsin electronic voting system strikes deep into the heart and history of GAB Director Kevin Kennedy. Jim Mueller has been looking at the integrity of Wisconsin elections for many years, and had this to say about GAB’s Kevin Kennedy. “The fear is that these companies throw money around is such a way that we do not know that people who are in positions of trust have been compromised. Since the Accenture deal occurred, I haven’t felt good about Kennedy’s performance” The Accenture Deal Article By Mike McCabe November 26, 2004 Can you believe it? They want to privatize our highways, our university, our museums and now our elections. Egad! Kevin Kennedy, executive director of the state of Wisconsin’s Elections Board, signed a contract with a multi-national calling itself Accenture (it was part of Enron-tainted Arthur Anderson) to create “a total management package to run our elections.” Hello? See Bill Lueders’ column in Isthmus for the full, disturbing story, and then ask, What in the world is wrong with Kevin Kennedy?/

No public hearings were held on the outsourcing of our elections to a company–one that is based in Bermuda to avoid taxes in this country. When I called the Elections Board on Wednesday, I was told that it is, in essence, too late to complain because the contract has been signed. Really? Is it too late to fire Kennedy, appoint a new board, and cancel the contract? I don’t think so. Call the elections Board and demand that they cancel this contract. Believe it or not Mr. Kennedy, the citizens of Wisconsin are quite capable of managing our own elections. Kennedy’s Vested Interest Kennedy has a long history of chummy ties with the Accenture and Electronic Voting Systems. He pitched the system to the legislature. Do you really think he is going to be fair and impartial in answering questions about poll tapes?

The Brad blog has been investigating elections in the country for years, and this is what Brad has to say about the pesky poll tape.

“Worse, if the results printed on the poll tapes are the ultimate proof of the accuracy of results, what happens when — as discovered among poll tapes from the City of Pewaukee in Waukesha County late last week — the “recount” uncovers “Official Results Report” poll tapes dated a full seven days before the actual election was held?’

Prosser was the certified winner of the Supreme Court election and cast a deciding vote on the decision to end collective bargaining rights for workers and families in Wisconsin.

He was certified as the winner before evidence from the recall was published.

5) The GAB has not explained why it gave Kathy Nickolalus “special software” to tabulate the Waukesha County vote.

The information for this post has come through intensive hard work and investigation by the people of the Election Integrity Group, many of whom have been advocating for fair “every vote gets counted ONCE” elections in Wisconsin for years.

Look at the Wisconsin SC Recount BALLOT / POLL TAPE Anomalies

A permanent, online web cache of photo stills revealing just *some* of the GLARING and ALARMING ballot “irregularities” recently seen during the STATE WIDE (VIRTUAL) HAND RECOUNT of the SUPREME COURT ELECTION, held on April 5th, 2011.

The Election Integrity community commends them for all their diligence, tenacity and hard work, and thanks them for the important contribution it’s lending to *all* American Voters. This kind of real time photographic documentation of evidence in real time is, to our knowledge completely unprecedented. EI can use all the Facebook love we can muster…thanks!

The WI Citizens for Election Protecion will deliver a petition to the Government Accountability Board to demand a hand-count of the upcoming recall election votes. It is the Board’s current policy to dissuade clerks for counting ballots by hand. Help protect your vote.

Please share this. Please demand an independent investigation of the GAB and Kathy Nickolaus. Another election is right around the corner, just waiting to be stolen.

Heritage Brand Name

The Heritage Foundation is a think tank that could share a brand name with water-soluable condoms. It might be described as a provider of private sector welfare to lazy intellectuals who make the inhuman ideas of Ayn Rand look like cute little children dancing in your local production of the Nutcracker. The foundation can supply an unending parade of “experts” to fill the deep demands of the scheduling lists for the 24 hour news cycle of cable news, C-span, and infomercials selling cheap insurance, death related health care, and inflatable toilet seats.

Was Gwen Ifill Dooped?

Well, just last week, one of the Heritage Foundation fairy princesses showed up on the PBS nightly news, in a segment anchored by Gwen Ifill. The segment was about vote fraud and the fringe right conspiracy to qualify the people’s constitutional right by a demand for a voter ID. I guess the Heritage Foundation maintains enough credibility in its ranks to hide the bad nuts at the bottom of snack bowl. Even the name of this Heritage spokesperson should have smacked the producers like a lawn jarts warning: Hans Van Spakovsky. Even Gwen tripped up on that moniker a couple of times.

Spakovsky is not Spakovsky. He is…

But the cover of this book did not upstage contents. Van Spakovsky’s visage appeared on the screen and I nearly spilled my eggnog. Could this be possible? Was the man I was seeing on my flat screen really to be believed as an expert on vote fraud? Surely, HE was a fraud incarnate. I checked my channel surfer and, yes, this was the PBS Nightly News. Yes, that was Gwen Ifill. The likeness of the man on the screen was an eye bulging likeness of an image from my younger days. How could the producers have missed it? Surely, this was a joke that would be revealed as a main story block on Yahoo. The show went on. No “gotcha” disclaimer appeared at the end of broadcast. I checked Yohoo news. Nothing.

Spakovskygate

Surely, PBS had been dissed by Heritage and was keeping it off the radar. So, I was forced to expose Spakovskygate for myself.

Do you see it?

Election Fraud in Russia?

Hillary Clinton’s State Department is up front and center to underscore the allegations of election fraud in the recent parliamentary elections. Tens of thousands protested in Moscow and cities like Khabarovsk. They alleged widespread fraud in last week’s parliamentary elections and had angry words for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, whose party dominates the parliament.

STEVE INSKEEP It’s MORNING EDITION from NPR News
I am really far away from the capital. I’m in the city of Khabarovsk (Map left), But speaking to people out in the streets today in this city, the voice that really stuck with me, Steve, was a woman named Natalia Alexandrovna. She didn’t give me her full name out of fear for her job. She’s a 42-year-old mom. Russian Election Protests Biggest in 2 Decades

What About the U.S.A.? What About Wisconsin? What About Ohio, Florida? What About Waukesha? (Map right)

If Waukesha County or the States of Ohio and Florida where in Russia, would the State Department and the Justice Department step up to the issue of election fraud? Unfortunately, we know the answer. A long and slow NOOOooooo. The hypocrisy of the spontaneous outcry of Russian election fraud swirls blizzard like, while Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nicklaus sits in her cozy office unscathed. Well, Kathy did get a nasty reprimand for her mishandling of the election returns in her county over the past ten years, which finally resulted in the “find” of 14,000 votes in the Spring Supreme Court Election.

If Waukesha, Wisconsin were Khabarovsk, Russia?

If it were so, would the Tim Verhoff (pictured on map at right) report been accepted as the final determination in the matter of Waukesha and Kathy Nickolaus? Apparently not. Not if the evidence of documented election fraud were to occur in Khabarovsk. Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (pictured on map far right) would have issued strong words as to the need to expose and investigate evidence of election fraud in Khabarovsk. But not Waukesha.

Christmas came early to Waukesha County Clerk Nickolaus this year.

Jolly Old K Nickolaus Lean your ear this way Don’t you tell a sing soul What I’m going to say

MADISON, WI – Based upon an extensive independent investigation into the actions of Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus after the Spring Election, the Government Accountability Board found probable cause to believe that she violated the state law requiring county clerks to post all returns on Election Night, but concluded that the violation was not willful and therefore did not constitute criminal misconduct.

Santa came in the form of Investigating Attorney Verhoff with the backing of his trusty elf GAB Directory Kevin Kennedy (pictured above ho ho ho)

They confirmed that all of the officials in Waukesha County were good little boys and girls who would never cheat, lie, or do anything naughty with voting software, vote bags, or inspector sheets. HO HO HO

They said it on a more official and lawyerly way of course.

Hear Yea! Hear Yea!

Public trust in the election process is essential. The poor condition of ballot bags and
potential breaks in the chain of custody of ballot bags can foster an environment where
members of the public begin to doubt the integrity of an election and begin to engage in
conspiracy theories. But given the number of individuals in addition to Ms. Nickolaus who would have to be involved in a conspiracy to engage in the type of fraudulent election practices described above, it appears highly unlikely to have occurred. The likelihood of a conspiracy also is negated when one looks at the results of the election. The vote totals for the City of Brookfield were provided to a reporter on election night and published to the public by BrookfieldPatch. These are the same vote totals ultimately reported to the state Canvass Reporting system the morning after the election, certified by the Waukesha Board of Canvass and confirmed during the statewide recount.

Ah….highly unlikely. Ah…of course.

Because this sort of highly unlikely consortium of conspiratorial collaboration has never been seen else where.

Yet all it takes is a little journey into a Christmas past. to prove that just such a conspiracy is not only likely, but has occurred in the recent past….

The verdict capped the latest phase of a federal investigation that has blown a hole in the power structure that held sway in Manchester and Clay County for years.

Ever play a board or card game with someone who changed the rules along the way?

How frustrating to roll the dice and move your piece to a square, only to be told you can’t do that because of this rule or that. At least, in a game you can fish out the rules and read them aloud and justify your move – unless you are playing a game with Leah Vulkmir or Jim Ott (pictured right) because, you see, they are granted the power to change the rules and have them reprinted in the middle of the game.

Unfortunately, the game being played by Vukmir and Ott is not one with a fictional jail, hospital, or voting booth. The determinations of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules effect your real, everyday life in Wisconsin, including if you are allowed to vote or if the person next to you in the bar is allowed to carry a gun.

This Is Real Folks

Rules regulating your vote, your safety, and your freedom have been changed, altered, and discarded with the stroke of pen. This blatant threat to democracy has occurred regularly since the passage AB 8:

The authority of a state agency to promulgate rules interpreting the provisions of a statute enforced or administered by the agency and to implement or enforce any standard, requirement, or threshold as a term or condition of a license issued by the state agency; gubernatorial approval of proposed administrative rules; economic impact analyses of proposed rules and emergency rules; and venue in a declaratory judgment action seeking judicial review of the validity of an administrative rule and in an action in which the sole defendant is the state.

But that was not quite strong enough for Governor Walker. He recently issued an executive order to further clarify that he makes the rules.

For Immediate Release
