Today, PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton was joined by Wisconsin Democratic state senator John Erpenbach and Marty McBeale, executor director of AFSCME 24, to discuss the Wisconsin recall election. As the election nears, a number of high-level Republicans and right-wing media outlets are claiming that "voter fraud" will allow Democrats to steal the election. Embattled Republican governor Scott Walker, who is fighting a recall, even claimed that voting fraud may account for "one or two points" of the election results.
"It's a completely made-up issue," said Erpenbach. "A few years ago a Republican attorney general did an investigation into voter fraud allegations in Wisconsin. They found eleven cases. Eight of those were convicted felons that a photo ID would've never caught to begin with. And three of them were actual cases of fraud. Three cases of fraud and they were prosecuted. We have laws on the book already. Voter fraud is all about voter suppression, and the Republicans know that."
Last week, Rachel Maddow pointed out that if Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus's claim that there will be one or two points of voter fraud in Wisconsin was true, that would mean "he’s talking about something like tens of thousands of votes," and no one has produced evidence of such elaborate fraud. A bigger problem than non-existent voter fraud is voter suppression, where onerous voter ID laws could disenfranchise thousands of young people, minorities, and the poor and other traditional Democratic voting blocs.

Investigations and criminal prosecutions are needed for election fraud in Tuesday night's gubernatorial election, Wisconsin State Senator Lena Taylor said. Taylor wrote to the state's Government Accountability Board, arguing that "It is imperative that your agency uphold the law and criminally prosecute any person that is engaged in voter suppression and disenfranchisement tactics." Robocalls have been made to citizens in Wisconsin misleadingly telling them that they needn't vote if they already signed the petition to recall Governor Scott Walker. "It is my understanding that a reporter did call and find out that that call did come from the Republican Party," Taylor said, speaking on The Ed Show. "I'm looking forward to the GAB doing an investigation, and I think the Attorney General also should have done and should be doing an investigation of anyone who is attempting to intimidate or to give misinformation to voters in order to suppress votes."
Taylor said that the robocalls were an obvious attempt to reverse the momentum that the pro-recall side has made. "They know that the momentum is with [Milwaukee Democratic Mayor]Tom Barrett and they’re determined to cheat and do whatever they can,” she said. “I will characterize this robo-call, frankly, as a disgusting tactic. A fear tactic."
