I want to believe it's a fake too, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
Wisconsin is primarily Republican or politically mixed outside of the enclaves of Madison and Milwaukee (and some of its suburbs). In order to get Bush reelected, the GOP knows that they have to overcome the two biggest cities in Wisconsin often voting 60 percent+ for the Democratic candidate. (You can look at quite a few wards in Milwaukee where Bush received votes in the single digits . . .) Since, in 2000, Gore won the state by less than 6000 votes, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody took it into their head that suppressing the black vote would be a good way to tip Wisconsin toBush.
PS: AlphaSig, I think -- can somebody back me up on this? -- that Wisconsin actually has day-of registration and you CAN register at the polling place right before you vote. I think I did this during the primaries when my address had changed between elections.
