Task force to probe Milwaukee election

Task force to probe Milwaukee election
Local and federal law enforcement authorities are finalizing a task force that is to look into potential fraud in Milwaukee in the Nov. 2 election, sources confirmed today.

The details are being worked out between Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann, U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic, Milwaukee Police Chief Nannette Hegerty and the local office of the FBI.

The task force comes in the wake of Journal Sentinel revelations that more than 1,200 votes came from invalid addresses and that there were other problems with how the election was run in the city.

Complete coverage of this story will appear online later tonight and in the Journal Sentinel in the morning.

Notice he points to his own work as the reason we are getting the investigation, but it has been Talk Radio and the Wisconsin Blogosphere that have been pounding this story for weeks... oh well, as long as we get a decent investigation.
