    EXCLUSIVE: Romney Campaign Training Poll Watchers To Mislead Voters In Wisconsin

    Mitt Romney’s campaign has been training poll watchers in Wisconsin with highly misleading — and sometimes downright false — information about voters’ rights.

    Documents from a recent Romney poll watcher training obtained by ThinkProgress contain several misleading or untrue claims about the rights of Wisconsin voters. A source passed along the following packet of documents, which was distributed to volunteers at a Romney campaign training in Racine on October 25th. In total, six such trainings were held across the state in the past two weeks.

    One blatant falsehood occurs on page 16 of the training packet, which informed poll watchers that any identification cards from a voter “must include a photo”, despite the fact that Wisconsin’s voter ID law has been blocked by multiple state judges for this election.

    The training also encouraged volunteers to deceive election workers and the public about who they were associated with. On page 5 of the packet, Romney poll workers were instructed to hide their affiliation with the campaign and told to sign in at the polls as a “concerned citizen” instead. As Kristina Sesek, Romney’s legal counsel who just graduated from Marquette Law School last year, explained, “We’re going to have you sign in this election cycle as a ‘concerned citizen.’ We’re just trying to alleviate some of the animosity of being a Republican observer up front.”

    " Kristina Sesek, Romney&#8217;s legal counsel who just graduated from Marquette Law School last year,"



    She took the advanced "Nixon style dirty tricks" course I'm sure.

    This is nothing new. A while ago, I did a series of the GOP blatant lies about fraudulent voting and their equally fraudulent attempts at electoral fraud and voter suppression.

    It seems the republican party and their latest sock puppet are afraid of the American people. They don't want us to vote.

    The cure for this is to crush them at the polls.
