The billionaire Koch brothers have moved in and are attacking democracy in the state. With recall elections against Republican state senators just around the corner - the Koch-funded Astroturf group Americans for Prosperity is reaching into their bag of dirty tricks to keep their buddies in power at any cost. The group is sending what look like absentee ballots - but with late return dates written on them - to trick Democratic voters in two districts where Republicans are facing recall. The fliers urge Democrats to turn in their ballots by August 11th - even though the election is August 9th. Very clever...But besides blatant - and possibly illegal - voter suppression - Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity is also spending the big bucks on slanted TV ads - purchasing $150,000 in television ad time in Milwaukee. Wisconsin Democrats have filed a complaint against Americans For Prosperity demanding they stop the voter suppression tactics. For more on this - Thom is joined by the State Representative Jennifer Shilling, one of the six Democrats running to unseat incumbent Republicans in the Wisconsin recall elections next Tuesday.

1. So little media coverage of this election and voter conspiracy to defraud

I hope the people of WI are hearing about this daily.

Outside of Wisconsin, CNN and MSNBC are mentioning it, but certainly NOT FOX.

Am I wrong?

there are many in my state that are so filled with hate they would think this is ok.

4. They saw thru the false Democrats,

didn't they?  I give the Wisconsinites credit, they stormed
the capital, made their own signs, now I hear one of then is
suing for election fraud,I don't doubt that they will jump
every hurdle the repub's can and will throw at them.
