The Justice Department will be monitoring polling activities in
Milwaukee during the recall election of Republican Governor Scott Walker

Who is gonna oversee the DOJ?????
Obama's DOJ is going to monitor the Wisconsin recall election?!?!?!?! i'm not so sure that's a good thing. the Obama administration has a vested interest in Walker losing and would definitely be inclined to covering up voter fraud.
Makes me feel good Holder and his department among the most corrupt DOJ S in history
Good so using tax payers money to have interpreters to help the illegal alliens vote illegally.
