Koch Brothers Busy Suppressing Votes and Strangling Democracy

~

Koch Slime Knows No Bounds Dept:

It seems the ever-helpful Koch Brothers' Americans for Prosperity was kind enough to send out absentee ballots to Democratic voters in Wisconsin for upcoming recall elections against six GOP state senators.

But in a mysterious "typo," the forms tell voters to return them by Aug. 11. The election is Aug. 9. Wisconsin Democrats have filed a complaint; now, we are too.

Editors' note: Mother Jones illustrator Zina Saunders creates editorial animations riffing on the political news and current events of the week.

In this week's animation, we find the Koch brothers and their political minions Cantor, Bachmann and Ryan commandeering the ship of state. They may think they’ve won the prize, but all they’ve done is sink themselves and the rest of us along with them.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, fearing recall, quickly rakes in millions

~

Gov. Scott Walker raised funds at a furious pace in the first half of 2011, bringing in $2.5 million.

That total reported in a state campaign finance filing was nearly five times as much as then Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, raised in the first half of 2007 after his re-election.

The aggressive fundraising shows Walker is readying himself for a possible recall attempt by union supporters and Democrats when he becomes eligible for recall next year.

Wisconsin Wingnut-Justice Ahead After 14,000 Votes Magically Appear

~

Good morning, unemployed hobos.

Here is your news: 14,000 votes just sort of “turned up” (just like they always do, when you need them the most) yesterday in Wisconsin, giving Koch-backed David Prosser a 7,000 vote lead over bolshie People’s candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg.
(Kloppenburg said that she won the Supreme Court race on Wednesday, but she is mistaken.)

Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus — a Republican activist and former president of “Republican Women of Waukesha County” — discovered the tabulation error, after she “inadvertently failed to properly import and save data into a Microsoft Access database.

” If you think this sounds like possible vote tabulation fraud, think again! (Or save yourself the trouble and don’t think anything ever again!)

Because Kathy Nickolaus is a diligent public servant who “keeps election results on her personal PC in her office, and only on her personal PC.”

Sounds pretty legit. Anyway, hope you communists had fun “winning” for a day (isn’t that Barrack Obama’s new motto?). Hooray, more of the Invisible Hand Koch at work!

Union-Busting Kochsucker Scott Walker New GOP Favorite For 2012

~

We won’t know for sure until he double-sucks the withered old peckers of David and Charles Koch on live television while simultaneously pooping on the grave of a 9/11 firefighter and strangling a pre-schooler, but Wisconsin’s Scott Walker is quickly shaping up to be the Republicans’ top choice to run for president in 2012.
