James, doesn't 'legally' include standing just three feet away from a voter and also challenging someone because you 'think' he/she might not be legit?
Voter caging is a practice of sending mass direct mailings to registered voters by non-forwardable mail, then compiling lists of voters, called “caging lists,” from the returned mail in order to formally challenge their right to vote on that basis alone. Other methods, such as database matching, have been used more recently to compile voter caging lists. The practice is used almost exclusively by officials or members of the Republican Party, local and national. Wisconsin has not been spared from this crap.

Not quite. You must swear under oath.
"...GAB 9.02 Elector making challenge in person. Any elector may challenge for cause any person offering to vote whom the elector knows or suspects is not a qualified elector. Any elector who abuses the right to challenge under s. 6.925, Stats., may be subject to sanctions available to inspectors under s. 7.41 (3), Stats. An elector has cause to challenge a person as being unqualified to vote if the challenging elector knows or suspects that any one of the following criteria apply to the person being challenged: 1) the person is not a citizen of the United States; 2) the person is not at least 18 years of age; 3) the person has not resided in the election district for at least 10 days; 4) the person has a felony conviction and has not been restored to civil rights; 5) the person has been adjudicated incompetent; 6) the person has voted previously in the same election. If a person is challenged as unqualified by an elec- tor, the following procedure shall be followed: (1) One of the inspectors shall administer the following oath or affirmation of veracity to the challenging elector: “You do sol- emnly swear (or affirm) that you will fully and truly answer all questions put to you regarding the challenged person’s place of residence and qualifications as an elector of this election.”..."
I wouldn't want to be caught in a voter fraud situation this election. You can bet the GOP is going heavy on early voter registration monitoring.
ReplyDeleteFine, legally. Harrassingly, call the police/FBI.
ReplyDeleteSo when does the caging and robo-calling start? They are not going to give up on voter suppression.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think we got the answer on the voter caging.
DeleteAnd Schimel is definitely trying to keep Van Hollen's tradition of not letting reality get in the way of working for WisGOP 1st and foremost.
Let's end all this in 15 days, shall we?
when do the billboards start popping up.

Another one is compiling a database from obituaries and verifying the dead registered voter hasn't cast a vote.
