It appears that Spivak and Bice have uncovered a case of voter fraud.
Probably the most stunning part of this story is that, Donovan Riley, the man accused of voting twice in the November 2000 general election, is actually a Democratic candidate for State Senate running in this year's election.
The complaint by All Children Matter, a proponent of private school vouchers, cites documents that suggest that Riley, a 69-year-old former CEO of the University of Illinois Hospital, voted twice in the 2000 general election, once in Chicago and then again in Oconomowoc. A well-heeled liberal Democrat, Riley is running a vigorous primary campaign against state Sen. Jeff Plale, a conservative Dem from
Even more pathetic is the fact that Mr. Riley is not exactly denying the charges.

Yet the Dems say there is no fraud? Voter ID would "disinfranchise" voters? I wonder how many others have "forgotten" they voted.
Exactly how would a photo ID requirement have prevented this?
Who knows if photo ID would have stopped this fellow? Perhaps he would have thought twice after pulling out an Illinois driver's license when he was registering. Perhaps he already had a Wisconsin license by that time, I do not know.
What I do know is that we have extremely liberal voting laws here in Wisconsin and we can do absolutely nothing to stop voter fraud. In Illinois, a person must register to vote at least 28 days in advance of actually casting their ballots. We have same day registration. In Illinois, a person must present a photo ID (or a state ID, on last 4 digits of their social security number) to register. These are the same requirements passed by Congress in 2002 known as the Help America Vote Act. Illinois passed these laws in 2003. Wisconsin on the other hand is still struggling 4 years after the HAVA law passed in Congress. After Wisconsin elections officials dragged their heels for years, Wisconsin was forced into complying with the federal election laws a few weeks ago. After registering in Illinois, you will receive a Voter ID card.
Poke fun at Illinois all you want, they are at least attempting to stop voter fraud. Wisconsin, on the other hand, has done everything in their power not to stop voter fraud.
Simple little things like eliminating same day registration and photo ID would help slow down voter fraud. You people are actually making my point for me. How would it have stopped this guy? We do not know. The system is broken, and Jim Doyle is doing nothing to fix it.
