Attorney: Fake Democrats in Wisconsin committing criminal election fraud

Six fake Democrats running in upcoming recall primaries to push back the
election date in Wisconsin are violating the law, according to an
election attorney.
“Among the requirements for running as a candidate in a partisan primary,
one is required to file with the [Government Accountability Board] a
‘Declaration of Candidacy,’ form GAB-162. That form specifically requires
a candidate to state that their candidacy is ‘representing’ the political
party for which the primary is to take place. This statement must be made
under oath,” attorney Jeremy P. Levinson said in a memo (PDF) to We Are
Wisconsin.
“Clearly, a candidate running in a Democratic primary for the purpose of
disadvantaging that party and giving electoral advantage to the
Republican Party and the Republican incumbent the Democrats seek to
recall can do so only by falsifying his or her declaration of candidacy.”
The fake candidates are committing felony election fraud, according to
Levinson, a crime punishable by up to three and half years in prison.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (R) and four
Wisconsin Republican state senators all face recall elections on May 8 or
June 5. But by running the fake candidates, the Republican Party forces
primary elections to be held on May 8, ensuring that all of the
incumbents will face an election at a later date, June 5.
“The protest candidates will run as Democrats to guarantee that there is
one clear date for the primary election and one clear date for the
general election,” Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director
Stephan Thompson said in a statement from March. “The Republican Party
will not actively campaign for the protest candidates, other than
collecting nomination signatures to ensure their place on the ballot.”
The Republican Party of Wisconsin also ran fake Democratic candidates
during last years recall elections.
“Everyone knew the Republican scheme to run fake Democratic candidates
was a sleazy corruption of Wisconsin democracy that needlessly wasted
taxpayer dollars,” said We Are Wisconsin executive director Kristen
Crowell. “Thankfully, this time around, there’s recourse available
against this travesty, as it appears it’s also illegal.”
