Election plan draws criticism over voter security

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A five-year strategic plan for running elections in Wisconsin is drawing criticism from the public over how it addresses voter fraud.

People at a public hearing in Madison Tuesday said the plan before the Government Accountability Board stresses voter convenience over protecting against voter fraud. Ardis Cerny of Pewaukee says she was shocked that the words "voter fraud" didn't appear in the plan.

Board director Kevin Kennedy says security is paramount and the concerns expressed were well taken. He says the report doesn't include all the tools currently used to combat voter fraud.

The five-year plan was designed to make Wisconsin compliant with federal requirements, as well as explore election changes such as online registration and changing the primary date.
