Wisconsin’s Dramatic Vote Swings Raise Election Integrity Concerns

Good article from wisconsin citizens' media cooperative regarding the upcoming Nov 4 Gubernatorial election, and other elections of the past several years....

Are Wisconsinites really so wishy-washy or schizophrenic as to swing back and forth every two years between the extremely diverse platforms and ideals of Obama and Walker, as recent election results might indicate? It seems unlikely, and such counter-intuitive electoral swings can also be red flags for election fraud.

...If they steal our vote, they steal our voice and they steal our power. Stand up and help change election systems in Wisconsin. This is not an issue of “left” vs “right.” It’s “right” vs “wrong.”

Unfortunately, if one side appears to receive a benefit from it, it is virtually impossible to stop/eradicate. I'd like to think I would say the same if it was Democrats doing it. It's been a problem throughout American history, it only came fully to light in the internet age, when more (small "d&quot democratic dissemination of ideas could occur. It's why Internet Neutrality is such a big issue that the M$M won't address.

Rigging an election would require skimming and padding of votes across diverse voting districts in a calculated manner that will not arouse suspicion. There are fewer eyes on state and local elections. It is to the hackers’ advantage to have the public believe that we are truly polarized and split virtually down the middle within a range of approximately 47% to 53%, as hackers would only have to flip a small percentage of the votes from one candidate to the other to swing the election.
