Each time I think I have seen the sleaziest extent to which Republicans will stoop to steal the upcoming recall elections in the Fascist Corporate Dictatorship of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, they surprise me by finding something even sleazier.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"2recall\"<\/a>Is the Koch-backed conservative group Americans For Prosperity up to no good in the Wisconsin state Senate recalls?<\/p>\n

As Politico<\/a> reports, mailers have now turned up<\/strong> from Americans For Prosperity Wisconsin, addressed to voters in two of the Republican-held recall districts, where the elections will be held on August 9<\/strong>. The mailers ask recipients to fill out an absentee ballot application, and send it in — by August 11, after Election Day for the majority of these races<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

"These are people who are our 1’s [solid Democrats] in the voterfile who we already knew," a Democratic source told Politico. "They ain’t AFP members, that’s for damn sure."<\/p>\n

There are two other recall elections being held on August 16, targeting two Democratic incumbents, but they are both a distance away from the recipients of these particular mailers.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a close look at the mailer shows a continuation of irregularities that have already involved conservative groups and absentee ballots in the state.<\/p>\n

The mailing address for the applications is listed as "Absentee Ballot Application Processing Center, P.O. Box 1327, Madison WI 53701-1327." A Google search shows that this address is not any sort of government office, but has been used by the conservative group Wisconsin Family Action<\/strong> [Wing-nuts delinked]\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
