Wisconsin Right to Life, which bills itself as Wisconsin's "largest and most effective pro-life organization," has been caught offering gift cards in exchange for "pro-life" absentee ballot applications.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has obtained an email dated July 1st of this year that warns readers that the "pro-family" Wisconsin Senate is being put at risk by upcoming recall elections, and then offers...
"rewards for volunteers who make an impact over the weekend by educating and encouraging family and friends to vote by absentee ballot," including:
A "$25 gift card or gas card reward for any volunteer who can get at least 15 pro-life/pro-family voters (and family and friends) to complete an absentee ballot application" by July 5.
A "$75 gift card or gas card reward for the volunteer in each Senate district who gets the most absentee ballot applications completed" by July 5.
According to the Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin Right to Life has not responded to numerous requests for comments.
