Wis. convicted felon accused of voting illegally
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A convicted felon is accused of voting illegally in the November election in Kenosha County.
Forty-nine-year-old Michael Radtke of Twin Lakes faces three felony counts of election fraud.
According to the criminal complaint, records indicate Radtke registered and voted Nov. 6 at Lakewood School in Twin Lakes. As part of that process, he signed a voter application form that included a statement that he was not serving a sentence, including probation, for any felony conviction.
Records show Radtke was on probation for a 2010 conviction in Walworth County.
Assistant District Attorney Richard Ginkowski says convicted felons can legally vote only after their civil rights are restored.
The Kenosha News (http://bit.ly/Y8PL92 ) reports Radtke makes his first court appearance March 27. A home phone listing for Radtke could not be found.

Bond said, "What I do care about is the millions of uneducated morons that continually vote for Democrats...."
What you should care about even more are the millions of educated persons that continually vote for Republicans.... They can't blame their poor judgment on a dearth of education.

oldvet and wislady it does not say which party he voted for and 1 case and for your information some on probation can vote it depends on the type of probation. wislady focus! we are talking about Wisconsin and 3 cases in an entire state of Ohio OMG how many voted legally and after all the corruption of the GOP trying to sabotage the voting they wanted to make sure their absentee ballot counted. How about the group hired by the repubs that admitted destroying thousands of registration forms when they seen the were for democrats Get real what is being done to them? http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/03/06/the-real-...

How about stopping the fraud before we have a Traitor to our constitution in the White House!?!?!?!?!?! Finding them after the fact does not solve the problem! The Dems will do ANYTHING to stop us from preventing fraud, because that is the only way they can win.

It can't be stated enough that this type of voter fraud would not have been stopped by Voter ID. This shows that the current laws can find violators and be prosecuted under the current laws.

I couldnt care less if a felon votes. All that means is they are one upping the system. What I do care about is the millions of uneducated morons that do vote....one of the reasons why we have such a failure of a system. Its a never ending spiral....till we crash at the bottom.

It is irrelevant who the person voted for. At least he didn't vote 6 times, like the woman in Ohio did. Leave it to lefties to miss the point of the article.

wislady: How do you know how he voted? If he voted for your good buddy Paul Ryan you wouldn't say anything.
