In Wisconsin willards campaign has been passing out false voter rights information in their training of poll watchers.
The link below is to the packet they handed out, I listed some of the lies and misinformation

If you can't win honestly just make sure you win....yea,..just America needs...another lying GOP President

BS in the packet

One blatant falsehood occurs on page 16 of the training packet, which informed poll watchers that any identification cards from a voter “must include a photo”, despite the fact that Wisconsin’s voter ID law has been blocked by multiple state judges for this election.

The training also encouraged volunteers to deceive election workers and the public about who they were associated with. On page 5 of the packet, Romney poll workers were instructed to hide their affiliation with the campaign and told to sign in at the polls as a “concerned citizen” instead. As Kristina Sesek, Romney’s legal counsel who just graduated from Marquette Law School last year, explained, “We’re going to have you sign in this election cycle as a ‘concerned citizen.’ We’re just trying to alleviate some of the animosity of being a Republican observer up front.”

CLAIM: Any “person [who] has been convicted of treason, a felony, or bribery” isn’t eligible to vote. (Page 10) FACT: Once a person who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, including probation and fines, that person is eligible to vote.

FACT: Once a person who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, including probation and fines, that person is eligible to vote.

CLAIM: “If a handicapped voter is unable to come into the polls to vote, an assistant can deliver the ballot to the voter if the CEI verifies the elector’s proof of residency.” (Page 19)

FACT: Under Wisconsin law, the CEI (Chief Election Inspector) does not have to verify proof of residency so long as the voter is registered.

CLAIM: Page 16 lists 10 items as “The ONLY Acceptable Forms of “Proof of Residency”.

FACT: Not only are two of the items patently false — those that say photo ID is required — but the list used is far from complete. There are many other documents people can use to prove residency that are not included, such as letters from public schools, student loan papers, correspondance with a Native American tribe in WIsconsin, vehicle registration, and food stamp correspondences.
