“Voter Fraud” Van Hollen: Wisconsin Voting Goes SmoothlyThough his lawsuit threatened to hold up registrations and his poll watchers threatened to create long lines and frivolous challenges, not even GOP Attorney Gen. J.B. Van Hollen’s best efforts to raise the specter of voter fraud could suppress Wisconsin’s voter turnout.
Wisconsin’s top election official, Kevin Kennedy, estimated between 2.9 million and 3 million voters cast ballots in the election the AP reports. That’s just under the number of 2004 and nearly 70 percent of the voting-age population.
“As far as voting, everything seems to be going very smoothly in the state,” Van Hollen told WTMJ radio.
“We’ve had very few problems around the state. It appears as though the reports are that most polling places are conducting themselves very well.”
