Call for a Federal investigation into the WI Supreme Court Justice results
Call for a Federal investigation into the WI Supreme Court Justice results
The Issue
Wisconsin recently held it's election for the Wisconsin supreme court justice. It was a close and closely watched race on many fronts, one being that the incumbent had publicly stated that he would support the new Govenor, Scott Walker, in his efforts to bring about many controversial changes that have gotten national attention.
This in itself suggests private interest rather that justice.
Four days after the election, initially thought to lean narrowly to the challenger, the Waukesha County clerk discovered enough votes on a Microsoft Access file stored on her personal computer to not only swing the election, but to put the margin of victory beyond the number that would qualify for a publicly funded recount. The clerk who found these votes is a former computer specialist for the Wisconsin Assembly Republican Caucus. She held this position when the incumbent in this race was Republican speaker of the Assembly, making him her boss.
This same clerk was formally investigated in 2001 for a similar scandal involving votes counted, and was given immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony she provided.
By signing this petition you are asking the U.S Attorney general Mr. Eric Holder to step in and investigate the results of this election.
It is not a matter of Republican or Democrat but a matter of Justice and the integrity of our electoral system that is at stake here.
