NO WAY they would do that before the election, they would be accused of trying to influence it.

That is what happens in Alabama, we have had it happen before.

....and continue Walker's right-wing agenda.

A prosecutor is going to have to find 12 people who are going to have to say that they are not biased against him and have not been rooting for Walker during the election.
