A Vicious Abuse of Power | The Progressive

A Vicious Abuse of Power | The Progressive

By Rebecca Kemble, July 21, 2011

On Wednesday night the Wisconsin State Assembly voted to approve legislative and congressional redistricting maps that Representative Fred Kessler called, “the most vicious abuse of partisan power that I have ever seen in the Wisconsin Legislature, and I’ve been here since 1961.” They also passed another bill that alters the process and timeline for local jurisdictions to make their redistricting conform to state maps, and to restrict the venues and process for any challenges to the plans."

      • Pennie Christie Exactly how do we help to stop it? Is there a petition? Phone calls to make? Link to the language of this settlement?

      • Terrie Cummins
        Hi Pennie- signing the petition is the first step. The good news is that as soon as I would get a new batch, they would be filled!(only 10@ a time) AND they are hoping to announce a verified number very soon. This will put PA4 on hold. Bein...g on hold grants Saugatuck more time to think about not settling! The meeting was switched to this Friday @ 5:00. A very inconvenient time for most folks. All who can come please consider it to show the council how people are opposed! Then the next step is to repeal the act by vote. Getting the word out is the leverage. I'm sure the propaganda will be inten$e. I will be posting links and finally getting transcript and sequence if events up as talking points. See More

Assembly aproves GOP redistricting plan | Defend Wisconsin
The Assembly passed the Republican-drawn redistricting plan Tuesday on a 57-40 vote. The proposal, which passed the Senate on Tuesday along party lines, now heads to Gov. Scott Walker. No Republicans addressed the legislation on the floor. “Democracy is literally on life support in Wisconsin, and you want to give it a lethal injection,” said Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison.

The filing also includes the revealing deposition of the late Michael Connell. Connell served as the IT guru for the Bush family and Karl Rove. Connell ran the private IT firm GovTech that created the controversial system that transferred Ohio's vote count late on election night 2004 to a partisan Republican server site in Chattanooga, Tennessee owned by SmarTech. That is when the vote shift happened, not predicted by the exit polls, that led to Bush's unexpected victory. Connell died a month and a half after giving this deposition in a suspicious small plane crash.

    • Darcy Gustavsson This article serves notice to those who doubt that elections are being hacked, but also to those who think it is easily done. Or the wrongdoing easily uncovered and proven. Seven years, thousands of hours of investigation and the mysterious death of the man who held the key to the whole operation later, the truth is emerging. Whether anyone will ever be held accountable is another story....

Democrats in Wisconsin worry that Republicans will engineer a situation in which the election to recall Governor Scott Walker takes place on the same day as the Wisconsin GOP 2012 presidential primary, when GOP turnout is at a maximum.
