Once again, the Koch Brothers are pouring money into a campaign to keep Wisconsin Democrats from voting in the recall elections. Although the general elections are taking place on August 9th, absentee ballots sent out by the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity to voters in heavily-Democratic districts "mysteriously" claim that the ballots must be returned only by August 11th. This blatant attempt at election fraud could not be more obvious. 

The Koch Brothers have seemingly limitless funds to devote towards any measure of fraud to confuse, dissuade and ultimately frustrate Democrats away from the polls. The Nation‘s John Nichols joined Mahlon Mitchell, President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, on last night’s episode of The Ed Show to discuss the Koch-fueled fraud.
