\"8.11.08.8945\"Yesterday it was revealed that conservative group Americans for Prosperity was sending Democratic voters in the Wisconsin recall elections absentee ballots with incorrect submission deadlines<\/a><\/font>. While the recalls elections against Republican state senators are on Aug. 9, the mailings told Democratic voters in those six districts they could return their absentee ballots as late as Aug. 11. <\/font><\/p>\n

Now, Americans for Prosperity claims this was simply a typo<\/a><\/font>:<\/font><\/p>\n

Matt Seaholm, state director of AFP, told No Quarter<\/em><\/span> that the incorrect date was a typo and the letter was only sent to AFP members. However, two of the individuals filing complaints against AFP claim they aren’t members of the organization and are, in fact, identified as being "card-carrying Democrats"<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is AFP’s explanation [Murdoch delinked] for how Democrats ended up receiving the mailing:<\/font><\/p>\n

"No (mailing) list is perfect," Seaholm said.<\/font><\/p>\n

Americans for Prosperity sure makes a lot of mistakes\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
