Five Wisconsin residents, including two who worked for community organizing group ACORN, were charged Monday with election fraud relating to the 2008 presidential election.

State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced felony charges against Maria Miles, Kevin Clancy, Michael Henderson, Herbert Gunka and Suzanne Gunka.

Miles and Clancy worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and are accused of submitting multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, including each other, to meet voter registration quotas imposed by the community organizing group.

Henderson is charged with one count of voting by a disqualified person and providing false information to election officials. The allegation claims he was on a felony probation and prohibited from voting at the time.

Herbert and Suzanne Gunka are each charged with double voting -- a felony -- by allegedly absentee voting and then going to the polls to vote.

"The integrity of elections is dependent upon citizens and officials insisting they be conducted lawfully. Wisconsin's citizens should not have to wonder whether their vote has been negated or diminished by illegally cast ballots," Van Hollen said.

My FoxMilwaukee reported that neither could immediately be reached for comment, and it was unclear whether they had lawyers.

Each individual charge carries a potential penalty of imprisonment up to three and a half years and a $10,000 fine. They are scheduled to appear in court on April 20.

Statement from Wisconsin AG

MILWAUKEE – Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Milwaukee Election Fraud Task Force has brought additional electoral fraud cases against five Wisconsin residents. The Department of Justice, acting as Special Prosecutor for Milwaukee County, has filed felony charges against Maria Miles, Kevin Clancy, Michael Henderson, Herbert Gunka, and Suzanne Gunka, all alleging election fraud arising out of the November 4, 2008, Presidential Election.

“The integrity of elections is dependent upon citizens and officials insisting they be conducted lawfully. Wisconsin’s citizens should not have to wonder whether their vote has been negated or diminished by illegally cast ballots,” Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said.

According to the criminal complaints, Miles and Clancy served as Special Registration Deputies (“SRD”) for the City of Milwaukee in advance of the 2008 Presidential Election. Each worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (“ACORN”). Miles and Clancy are each charged with the felony offense of Falsely Procuring Voter Registration as Party to a Crime. The complaint alleges that Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, and also were part of a scheme in which they and other SRDs registered each other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN.

Henderson is charged with one count of Voting by a Disqualified Person and one count of Providing False Information to Election Officials, both felonies. The complaint alleges that Henderson registered to vote at the polls on November 4, 2008, thereby certifying that he was a qualified elector. It also alleges that he then cast a ballot. At that time, Henderson was on an active period of probation for felony convictions from Rock County. A felon on an active period of supervision for a felony offense is prohibited by state law from voting in any election.

Herbert and Suzanne Gunka are each charged with the felony offense of Double Voting. The complaint alleges that they each voted in the November 2008 election by casting absentee ballots before the election. The complaint also alleges that after casting absentee ballots, they each voted in person at their polling place on election day.

Each individual charge carries a potential penalty of imprisonment up to 3 ½ years and a $10,000 fine. All defendants are ordered in for an initial appearance on April 20, 2010, at 1:30 p.m.

OMG...

That is settled. At least I thought. Are you also a truther? I forget. If so, I now understnd the anti-American perspective you are coming from.

George, maybe those of you with left leanings fail to connect the dots, but the way ACORN operates is really su ious. In my opinion, it is likely that for ever one caught, there are thousands.

Call it a bias if you must, but also consider what democrats would be saying if a conservative group had all the controversy this one does.

[coyotes_geek]

Nice to see blue team rushing to the defense of their felonious teammates.

Su ion = certain guilt.

So you are saying your partisan bias is justified by potential partisan bias on the other side.

[ChumpDumper]

Nice to see blue team rushing to the defense of their felonious teammates.

No defending their actions.

No need to.

No need to make it out to be more than it is. Nice to see the red team make the attempt.

Our current political climate summed up nicely

"That is settled."

yes, the programmer admitted he sent the voting info to TN, fudged, then back to Repug-administered OH, dubya scrapes out an OH win, and the election by the narrowest margin ever for an in bent, even with being a lying "war president" and non-stop Repug scare-mongering.

Fool..

"the programmer admitted he sent the voting info to TN, fudged, then back to Repug-administered OH, dubya scrapes out an OH win"

link please.

I have shown the data before. There were three voting systems in place. The two that could not be manipulated had clear Bush wins, The electronic system tat could be manipulated had clear Kerry wins.

I'd say we are lucky that they weren't all electronic systems.

[Winehole23]

Prosecuting voter registration fraud. Goody. The system still appears to be working.

LOL...

You cannot find Ohio, so you shift the argument to Florida...

Fool...

[jack sommerset]

There will be more

[George Gervin's Afro]

There will be more I hope.

[boutons_deux]

No 2004 OH is in that list. FL just popped up as a consolation prize, showing a Repug candidate in FL hiring a programmer to defraud the vote counting.

Saw that later, but didn't correct my posting because your statement only said Florida.

You see, I didn't bother opening any of those threads. I'm pretty sure that are the same bull we debated in the past.

Pfff...I think it was ACORN who turned them in, they defrauded ACORN, but wingnuts see ACORN and automatically see some sort of grand conspiracy....

[Oh, Gee!!]
