- Well, golly, who coulda seen this coming? And I suspect it's just the beginning... Tuesday was the official launch of Wisconsin’s new Voter-I.D. law, with citizens now required to present a photo-identification card in order to cast a ballot in the primaries for local elections. And as it turns out, one man refused to vote, because he was so angry that his card from the Department of Veterans Affairs was not onSource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-23 22:55:15 GMT

- While the GOP and its operatives have been on a tear over the last year (and many more), falsely claiming an epidemic of Democratic "voter fraud" meriting the potential disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of legal (and mostly Democratic) voters through polling place Photo ID restriction laws in order stop it, the recent spate of actual voter fraud by high profile Republicans --- both alleged-with-much-evidence and actually-proven-in-a-court-of-
law --- continues apace. The latest Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-23 03:48:25 GMT - TWITTER: @GreenNewsReport VIA SMART PHONE: Stitcher Radio!

- Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning Brad Friedman has often compared the task of Election Integrity (EI) advocates to a game of Whac-A-Mole. One moment they expose an "it's the machines transparency, stupid" moment when the 100% unverifiable ES&S iVotronic touchscreens announced that the unemployed and virtually unknown Alvin Greene had somehow defeated the respected circuit judge and former state legislator Vic Rawl in the 2010 South Carolina Senate Democratic Primary.Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-21 16:56:01 GMT
- Last week was a bad week to be Republican con-man Andrew Breitbart. But, really, what week isn't? First there was his embarrassing, angry, drunken, video-taped "stop raping people" bender outside of CPAC, followed by his sober, but completely debunked, attempts to justify it all on the morning after. And now comes this... WASHINGTON (CN) - Former U.S Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod's lawsuit against right-wing blogger Andrew Breitbart survived a motion to dismiss,...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-20 22:22:04 GMT
- It was "standing room only" in the combined supercaucus in Washington County, Maine today, according to the Bangor Daily News. The paper reports "Ron Paul scores big wins in Hancock and Washington counties," the two counties which had yet to hold all of their caucuses before Maine's hapless, attempted vote suppressor and state GOP Chair Charlie Webster prematurely announced Mitt Romney the "winner" of the state caucuses by just 194 votesSource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-19 02:16:49 GMT
- "The fight for Maine is far from over," says Maine's Fox19 reporter Ben Swann, as he reported new numbers for the state's 2012 GOP Caucuses last night. The State's GOP Chairman Charlie Webster had announced last Saturday night that Mitt Romney had won Maine's caucuses by just 194 votes over Ron Paul.Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-17 22:49:53 GMT
- It figures. The one time we're on the road and unable to keep up with things on a minute-by-minute basis, a major election would be stolen outright. And there's not a disenfranchising polling place Photo ID restriction in the world that could have done a thing to stop the thieves. Despite the reputation The BRAD BLOG has gained in some quarters over the years, I don't believe we have everoutright declared anSource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-17 00:12:50 GMT

- The state GOP itself has stolen the state for Mitt Romney in Maine's 2012 Caucuses. Period. Might Romney be the actual winner once all votes are actually cast and counted? Perhaps. But the fact is, the Maine Republican Party has purposely blocked that from happening and the apparent loser in all of this --- beside the voters of Maine --- is Congressman Ron Paul who, according to the official results reported bySource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-15 21:37:20 GMT

- Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning A recall from his position as Wisconsin's governor could ultimately be the least of Gov. Scott Walker's worry, if a criminal complaint quietly moving forward in the Badger State court system continues on its current trajectory. At the moment, Walker seems to be at the bottom of a mountain where an avalanche is just beginning to roll. A 51-page criminal complaint [PDF] (the "Rindfleisch complaint"), which formally...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-14 00:14:57 GMT
- On Tuesday, we dismantled the latest absurd attempt by pretend journalist and real federal criminal James O'Keefe to demonstrate the rampant "voter fraud" that he and his Republican Party claim to be so pervasive in these United States so as to require polling place Photo ID restrictions guaranteed to prevent little, if any, voter fraud at all, while serving to deter hundreds of thousands of legal (disproportionately Democratic-leaning) voters from beingSource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2012-02-10 00:23:21 GMT
