A Wisconsin Republican donor was busted for voting five times in that state’s recall election for Gov. Scott Walker.

Raw Story points to a report from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel which says:

The Journal-Sentinel reported that 50-year-old Robert Monroe was caught as a result of an investigation into a possible illegal voting by his son in Waukesha County. But after his son denied requesting an absentee ballot from his father’s address in Shorewood, suspicion turned to Monroe.

A complaint claimed that Monroe voted five times in Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) recalled election

Waukesha County! Don't tell Dave Weigel.

But voting multiple times in the Walker recall election isn't the only election fraud of which Monroe is accused.

Monroe cast two ballots in the April 2011 Supreme Court election, two in the August 2011 Alberta Darling recall election, five in the Scott Walker-Tom Barrett recall, one illegal ballot in an August 2012 primary, and two ballots in the November 2012 presidential election. ...

Monroe faces various counts of election fraud, including registering in more than one place, providing false information to an election official, voting more than once and voting as a disqualified person, for a total 13 felony charges. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 18 months in prison, two years of extended supervision and a $10,000 fine

Voting early and often: it's not just for Chicagoans anymore!
