Show up at a local precinct with your clipboard, meet with your chief election inspector and SIGN IN As An Election Observer. This simple of documenting events locally act may intimidate and stop fraud.

Inquire if your local Clerk has purged the voting list of deceased people.

Watch, be polite, and take notes.

You Think You See Vote Fraud When you Vote: NOW WHAT?

BECOME PART OF "ELECTION WATCH"

Read the Commentary on their site

For years neighborhoods have successfully protected themselves from crime through "Neighborhood Watch", a program that depends on citizens who "watch" and "report". It's not surprising that criminals avoid neighborhoods that "watch".

"ELECTION WATCH" is based on the same idea, and you can have the same effect on our elections, so you can protect your vote.

The concept is simple: As you vote (either at in-person absentee voting in your clerk's office or at the polls on Election Day), "watch" the process.

Observe. What do you see?

You should see an orderly process in an environment with no campaigning (otherwise known as electioneering) going on, and voters freely exercising their right to cast their ballot.

You should see poll-workers registering new voters to vote on the day of the election. (Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration.)

You should see voters GIVING THEIR NAMES AND ADDRESSES to the poll-workers (poll-workers NEVER read the voter's name and address to the voter!) and THEN receiving a ballot.

You should see voters casting those ballots on machines that are working properly.

You may see volunteer election observers seated where they can see and hear what is going on. You should see the process of the election proceeding as you think it should.

What if you see something that just does not look like it should be happening either inside or outside the polls? Do what you're urged to do by "Neighborhood Watch".

Report it to the authorities.

At each polling place there is a Chief Election Inspector who is responsible and in charge of all that goes on at that poll location. Find that Chief Inspector and report your concerns or ask your question.

You should get an immediate answer and either the situation corrected or have your concerns put to rest. If you are not satisfied with the answer or action of the Chief Election Inspector, you need to make either real or mental notes of your concern and the time and location of the occurrence. It is your responsibility as a concerned citizen to find the following phone numbers and report your concerns immediately. Time is of the essence.

Vote fraud is a felony and carries with it a fine of up to 3 years and $10,000.

Then call one of the following numbers until you get an answer:

- The Municipal Clerk in charge of elections in your community (usually at your city hall).

- In Milwaukee, contact Sue Edman, Executive Director, Milwaukee Election Commission at 1-414-286-3491.

- Your local District Attorney who is the designated official to receive reports of election "irregularities" and refer them to the police for investigation.

- Your local police who are on duty on Election Day. Election fraud is a crime - it is a felony. Local police respond to election crimes as they do any crime reported by a citizen.

- The Government Accountability Board at: 1-866-VOTE-WIS or go to their website: gab.wi.gov to report your concern. Click on Complaints.

YOU can help clean up the State Voter Registration List!!! How? IT'S EASY!
There is a very valuable tool on the internet called "VPA" -- "Voter Public Access". By entering a name and birthdate, you can check your own voter registration and the voter registration status of your family and friends, living and deceased, or those who have moved to another area at vpa.wi.gov. (Also try gab.wi.gov and look on the righthand side at the "Quick Links" section.)

Who knows? You may discover that someone who died or moved out of state is still "voting" here in Wisconsin! If you do, call your municipal clerk (Google "wis municipal clerks" for name and contact information) and have the incorrect name removed from the list. If you have a name removed, be sure to check back later to make sure it's been taken off - if there are multiple names listed, make sure they leave the correct one there, or you will have to re-register before you're allowed to vote!

While you're at it, why don't you call your municipal clerk anyway, and ask for the names of all voters registered at your address? If there are incorrect names, ask your clerk to remove those as well. (You would be amazed at the number of people who claim they live at the same address, while registering to vote fraudulently.)

IMPORTANT: In both of the above cases, if you have found an incorrect registration, you can ask your municipal clerk if that "name" voted in any of the last elections. Or you can enter the name and birthdate into vpa.wi.gov, click on the name, scroll down to "View Your Voting History" and determine if this "name" voted in past elections. If there was a vote, a FELONY has been committed. We encourage you to file a criminal complaint at your local District Attorney's office. Make sure your D.A. gives copies of the criminal complaint to you and to Wisconsin Attorney General J.B.Van Hollen.


As of June 10th, 2011, there were 225,869 unverified names on the Statewide Voter Registration List that have actually failed the required registration identification checks. The Government Accountability Board refuses to take these names off that list because that might "disenfranchise" someone. Never mind the fact that these people could simply re-register on Election Day if their names were removed in error. Names that no longer should be on the voter registration list are still "active" and can be voted by those who do not play by the rules.
