GOP voter fraud

Now we know why they are so adamant about it. They’re guilty of it themselves. Here’s Governor Scott Walker:
“I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan — limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you.”
Scott Walker was 13 in 1980 and 17 in 1984. If he voted, he did so illegally.
Of course, it’s most likely that he’s just lying. But considering the fact that he’s currently being investigated for cheating during the recall election it’s not completely out of the question that Scott Walker committed voter fraud.
Update: Walker did not say he voted for Reagan
Right Wing News made a transcription error and issued a correction on Monday to an interview published in January. During the interview, Walker discussed “a vote for Reagan,” and did not state that he voted for Reagan as a teenager.
John Hawkins, the writer who interviewed Walker for Right Wing News apologized for the error.
“All I can do at this point is apologize for the error,” he wrote on Monday. “This was our mistake and it was very unfair to Scott Walker who is catching flack because of an honest error on our part.”
Ditto from me. Sorry about that. — digby
