With the advent of the first indictments in the Wisconsin John Doe investigations, and the attorney general's refusal to become involved, it is apparent that JB Van Hollen, does not advocate for the public of Wisconsin.
For starters Here's a older CNN report and interview with Van Hollen on his dedication to "vote fraud" where he found abuse of six ten thousandths of one percent and his dedication to support support Wisconsin's new voter ID law.
More to follow.

(9,124 posts)Madison -- More than 10,000 concerned Wisconsin citizens are calling for a bipartisan investigation by Attorney General JB Van Hollen into the actions of Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus related to the changing vote totals in the State Supreme Court race between David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg days after the election. One Wisconsin Now gathered these electronic petitions in less than 48 hours.
Wisconsin is demanding an investigation to ensure our elections are fair and clean and transparent, said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. The secrecy and history of past conduct by the Waukesha County Clerk requires Attorney General Van Hollen immediately convene a bipartisan investigation through his Election Integrity Task Force.
One Wisconsin Now said it was concerned the Attorney General had yet to offer comment or direction, given the strong position Van Hollen took when it came to allegations people had voted improperly in Milwaukee in 2008. Van Hollens investigation, which also included the creation of the Election Integrity Task Force, produced less than 20 potentially-improper votes cast. A total of three million votes were cast in Wisconsin in the 2008 election.
It raises serious concerns that Attorney General Van Hollen spent two years investigating voters predominately in Milwaukee County, while so far ignoring this action in Waukesha County, said Ross. The longer he remains silent, the more strongly it suggests his investigations are rooted in partisan politics instead of protecting the public trust.
