Election fraud in Town of Herman
Did you know there are places in Wisconsin where you not only don't need an ID to vote, but don't even need to register? In some small towns and rural areas, you just show up and sign the voter list to get your ballot.
It's the "Friends" version of voting. Everybody knows your name. (A reader correctly points out I meant "Cheers.")
Now comes the news that the Town of Herman, in Shawano County, had a discrepancy of nearly 25% between the number of votes cast and the number reported. George W. Bush was credited with an extra 100 votes.
And photo IDs would not have helped one whit.
No one's screaming voter fraud about the 25% discrepancy. It's human error. In Milwaukee, where the Republicans say it must be fraud, the discrepancy is about 2.5%. Story

I will give the JS editors a little bit of credit for running this story on the front page. Now we wait for Jeff Stone to weigh in on the shameless subversion of our sacred democracy...

Xoff, you need to watch more TV.
you're right, of course. it's "cheers," and even I have seen that show once or twice.
but if it weren't for basketball we wouldn't even have a tv set, so you can understand my slipup.
