Gift Cards for Absentee Ballots in WI?

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports here on an email announcing that WRTL and Family Action coalition were “offering rewards [in the form of $25 and $75 gift cards] for volunteers who make an impact over the weekend by educating and encouraging family and friends to voted [sic] by absentee ballot” in the July recall primary.  Milwaukee Assistant DA Bruce Landgraf, who’s got a strong record of prosecuting election crimes, is reportedly looking into whether there’s been a violation of state law.
