What in the world is wrong with Kloppenberg coming out at the end of a long count and saying "looks like we won by 200 votes"? Then acknowledging the election isn't yet certified, knowing that would prompt the auto recount. Seriously? You think that was bad behaviour? Seriously?

Then, three days later, Waukesha had the Dem election judges certify the results for that county in the am, that afternoon the right wing blogs started talking about a 7,000 count bag of uncounted votes found, and there was a 5:00pm press conference where the Waukesha county clerk said she found those votes had magically been deleted from her computer, and were not in the totals counted. And she knew about it before that morning, when she had the Dems sign off on the election results of her county.

Yes, I know exactly who the classier candidate - and party - was in this election.

The Republicans are on their way out in Wisconsin. Walker is stuck with his union busting bill making it's way through the courts, because he doesn't have the votes now to retake it and simply pass it the normal way (without secret meetings, saying it's not a budget bill so they don't need a certain vote count, etc).

Again you say that the votes magicaly appeared. Was it magic or were not all votes properly counted? As someone who stands against voter id because it disenfranchises voters I would think you would want every vote counted.

Yes, the votes magically appeared. Do I think she simply screwed up? Most likely. I have no way of knowing if she deliberately held them back to see if they would be needed, or not. Those bags, during the recount, were found to have incorrect sealing information, wrong tags, wrong initials, etc.

Waukesha election results and recount procedure were so screwed up, they were the only county that couldn't get their recount completed in time, and had to get official permission from the judge for an extension.

Do I think she created those votes out of thin air? No. I think they are real votes.

Did she know about those votes being "magically deleted" (which plenty of computer whizes familiar with the program she uses says is impossible, it's auto-saved) yet have the Dems certify the election results anyway? Yes, she did, and she admitted it.


Don't forget this is the woman who almost went to prison for her political - elected official activity - she turned states evidence and got let off in favor of sending her friends to prison.

She has a history of illegal activity associated with her government service.

She's a pure, partisan Republican political hack who used to work for Prosser.

The current multi-state attempt at changing current voter ID requirements, when there is no "voter fraud", is simply an attempt to disinfranchise voters who tend to vote Democratic, and everyone knows it. It was put out to the Republican Governors at the last RGA meeting (financed by the Koch Brothers) as something they wanted the GOP govs to do before the 2012 election. That was covered by the press at the time. It's like re-districting - it's a political ploy to try and win elections.
