Wisconsin state Sen. Lena Taylor is calling on the GAB to investigate two pro-Walker groups who are spreading false information to keep voters from voting in the recall.
In a letter to the Government Accountability Board, Taylor wrote,
Even though these tactics are a violation of Wisconsin law, absolutely no one should be surprised that they are being used. Republicans use illegal voter suppression tactics for the same reason that Wal-Mart uses illegal tactic to keep unions from organizing in their stores. The reward outweighs the penalty. If the pro-Walker groups are found to have engaged in illegal activities they may face a fine or jail, but the results of the election that they illegally influenced will still stand. Therefor, the reward of getting Walker a victory in the recall is worth more than any penalties that will be incurred for violating the law.
