Wisconsin fraud update

The voices on the right are calling fraud in Milwaukee. Earlier, I asked if similar incidents took place in other parts of the state. The NAACP took up the challenge:

On the eve of Thursday's hearing in Madison on a proposed voter ID requirement, the Milwaukee branch of the NAACP moved Wednesday to shift the spotlight from Milwaukee to highlighting election problems in several suburbs.

The group said its review of election data in those communities had found irregularities similar to those that have been reported in Milwaukee, such as more votes cast than voters on record in various wards.

Clerks in several of the communities acknowledged errors Wednesday.

In general, though, the problems are of a different nature and much smaller scope than those the Journal Sentinel has found in its extensive review of Milwaukee election records.

I would think the errors would be of a smaller scope because the cities in question are so much smaller than Milwaukee. I'm not sure why the Journal-Sentinel feels the need to excuse them.

The point remains, however, that signs of irregularity is a long was from concerted fraud. This is not to excuse the errors that occurred - the problems should be addressed - but as a friendly reminder to the drumbeats of fraud that these are common problems throughout the state.
