In one explosive stroke Thursday, the clerk in a Republican stronghold tilted the tight Supreme Court race in favor of Justice David Prosser by recovering thousands of untallied votes for the incumbent.
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said Thursday that she failed to save on her computer and then report 14,315 votes in the city of Brookfield, omitting them entirely in an unofficial total she released after Tuesday's election. With other smaller errors in Waukesha County, Prosser gained 7,582 votes over his challenger, JoAnne Kloppenburg, leaving the sitting justice significantly ahead for now amid ongoing official counting."I'm thankful that this error was caught early in the process. This is not a case of extra ballots being found. This is human error which I apologize for," Nickolaus said. Read more at jsonline.com.
Kloppenburg Campaign Statement
"Wisconsin voters as well as the Kloppenburg for Justice Campaign deserve a full explanation of how and why these 14,000 votes from an entire City were missed. To that end, we will be filing open records requests for all relevant documentation related to the reporting of election results in Waukesha County, as well as to the discovery and reporting of the errors announced by the County. We are confident that election officials in Waukesha County will fulfill these requests as quickly as possible so that both our campaign and the people of Wisconsin can fully understand what happened and why. Just as Assistant Attorney General Kloppenburg has run to restore confidence in the court, Wisconsin residents also deserve to have full confidence in election results."

What are your thoughts on this?
There was no tampering with those votes we are keying on, it was human error. Even the Democrat who was watching her actions carefully verified she had done everything correctly. The only thing that she done wrong was releasing the wrong total to the press which isn’t a crime it is a courtesy for election officials to do that. Furthermore those votes had already been officially counted it is just when they were tallied up to give the press the numbers that is where the error happened and of course with the Liberal biased the Dem was prematurely declared the winner, until the press release count error was discovered.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm Mmmmm! That's SOME good CROW!
ReplyDeleteChris, I can just imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. You'd be making all kinds of accusations, if the Clerk were a long time Democrat.
ReplyDeleteThis stinks to high heaven and you haven't heard the end of this.
There will be a full investigation. I hope you watch this video and give me your thoughts.

Bruce Liberal elections DEAD vote so by that standard I conceed you would know stink! Other than that. There will be investigation and than it will be offical. Besides that what you get for wetting your pants before results are final!
ReplyDeleteAl, all elections have some crooks involved, so i think you'd know stink too. Its not a right or left thing. Both sides cheat and both sides play games. And both sides demand the other stop so they can have the advantage.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the age of the internet its just become more obvious. Look at the recent history. Some idiot Democrat tried to plant phony Tea Baggers and republicans tried to sabotage one of there own with a Jack Brandenburg sound alike in the primary. lmao. (one of Brian Pannebackers blogs)I'm sure somewhere Democrats had the same sort of thing.
Are political parties don't cheat on themselves they cheat on each other too.
My favorite example is a poll down in South Carolina in 2000 as McCain campaigned with his dark skinned ADOPTED Bangladeshi daughter. It asked....
"Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?"
And then McCain shows up in rural mostly white town with what looks like a black child. LMAO. Here's McCain all over SC TV with what looks like his bastard black child. Can you guess why he wasn't a two term president?
Besides racial politics. Cheating.
Joe I guess your correct Stink is Stink. Just had to give Bruce a Shot!!!!!! You know that counting the chickens before they hatched thingy!
ReplyDeleteAl, of course i understand.
