Media Trackers [mediatracker.org] discovered that over 20 individuals voted, some illegally, from one of Senator Lena Taylor’s (D-Milwaukee) properties during the April 5, 2011 spring election.
According to a Media Trackers open records request with the City of Milwaukee Election Commission, the property at 1018 N 35th St. in Milwaukee currently has 36 active voter registrations and at least 23 individuals voted using the address.
Senator Lena Taylor wants to recall Gov. Scott Walker for what she believes is his misuse of power, but in this case she appears to have been an accessory to illegal voting activities.
Furthermore, Senator Lena Taylor was an outspoken critic of the Photo ID bill, but if that bill had been in place it could have prevented voter fraud. A conservative political research group has accused state Senate Democrat Lena Taylor of being an “accessory” to voter fraud.
But Taylor says it’s nothing more than an act of kindness by her mother. Twenty-three people voted last April using the address of a group home and homeless shelter on the senator’s property — and it’s run by Taylor’s mother, whose name is also Lena.
Media Trackers said one of the people who voted was a 44-year-old convicted felon who was on a work release sentence, and was not allowed to vote by law. And a few months later, Taylor proposed a bill to let felons who are out of prison vote before their parole obligations are finished. The group said Taylor is guilty of gross negligence by not stopping the felon from voting. But Taylor tells the Journal Sentinel that her mother provides needy people with a place to stay. And she simply encourages them to vote, which Taylor called “admirable.”
The senator said her mother didn’t do anything more than remind them it was Election Day, and confirm information for registrations at the polls.
Media Trackers said the group home violated zoning laws, holding way more than eight people as allowed by city code. The senator says the home is not that restrictive, and many people move in-and-out frequently.
The home was listed by the state as a non-profit group until last March. But the Journal Sentinel says people still stay there, even though it’s not a legal entity.d stopped some of the potential voter fraud that took place from her property.

It’s nice to see just plain, old fashioned fraud. These folks are at least alive.

The mother of the Senator with same name runs a homeless shelter and people come and go from there. Only eight are supposed to live there. The law permits the rich and the poor to sleep under the bridge…so how do homeless people vote? This may not be fraud at all.Â
