Once again, the Koch Brothers are pouring money into a campaign to keep Wisconsin Democrats from voting in the recall elections. Although the general elections are taking place on August 9th, absentee ballots sent out by the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity to voters in heavily-Democratic districts "mysteriously" claim that the ballots must be returned only by August 11th.
