Wisconsin Man Admits He Cast Ballot for Obama for Dead Wife

MADISON, Wis. -- A Milwaukee man acknowledged Wednesday he illegally cast an absentee ballot in the name of his late wife, who had hoped to live long enough to vote for Barack Obama.

Jacqueline Wroblewski was a veteran Democratic activist who died of lung cancer in August. Her husband of 25 years, Stephen Wroblewski, filled out paperwork to obtain and cast an absentee ballot in her name in late October.

"It was her dying wish to cast a ballot in the 2008 presidential election," according to a criminal complaint charging the 64-year-old Wroblewski with making a false statement to obtain an absentee ballot, a misdemeanor.

He said he became nervous after mailing his wife's ballot but thought the chances of getting caught were slim. But a volunteer poll worker who was processing absentee ballots in Milwaukee the night of the election happened to be a family friend.

"Out of 35,000 ballots, she pulls that one and blurts out that she knew my wife and that she was dead," Wroblewski said. "That was my wife from the grave saying, 'Look what you did, you stupid ass."'

Too bad it's only a misdemeanor.  It should be a felony...resulting in the permanent loss of the right to vote.

I wonder what the real popular vote count would be if all these nursing home, dead people, and other fraudulent ballots were out of the equation. This may sound unsympathetic, but i hope they throw the book at this barking moonbat.

There was a guy who called up WLS radio in Chicago election day to boast about the rampant fraud that was going on.  To prove the point.  he went in and voted, then went to his care put on another jacket, and went in and voted as his dead brother who was still on the election rolls as he passed away just recently...no one thought anything of it...the guy wore the same shirt, went to the same person and still had no one ask him for ID or anything.  It just goes to show you that if you are voting for the right guy any jackbooted thug can vote as many times as he wants...
