Developing—- This comes from a trusted source in Wisconsin: Local precinct officials have reportedly found 500 votes in Waukesha County Wisconsin. Officials believe they have found 500 ballots in a county that voted 73% for Prosser.
Far left contender Joanne Kloppenburg currently leads the race by 204 votes over Justice David Prosser.

It is about time our side started finding votes!
Any time an election is this close, the leftist wins.
RS can youn imagine being a little puke from Ohio who could go up to the (COUGH) leader of the free world, a smaller puke than he, and not...Boenher is a big disappointment. He talks big but carrys hairbrush
They must of outsourced their vote counting to the Washington state election committee.
If ROTUS is sporting a metaphorical wig, as Trump seems to think he is, then Boenher’s hairbrush might be the best tool; not that I think Boenher will expose the Won. But I do think Boenher just might shut ‘er down, or get much of his cuts. Debt ceiling looms ... that’s the biggest play to be seen, shutdown or no. I guess we’ll see who cries last.
Never give up!
Yea, they accidentally dropped the box of ballots that was duck-taped to their butt when they were crawling on all fours in the attic behind the chimney while on a break from pole watching on election day.
No real reason to be up there, whomever's turn it was to have a box of ballots duck taped to their butt just happened to get a hankering to crawl on all fours in the attic behind the chimney while on a break from pole watching on election day.
What luck for them that someone else just happened to get a hankering to crawl on all fours in the attic behind the chimney!
How in the hell do you "loose" five HUNDRED ballots?
.
I'm not all that familiar with it either. It was off the top of my head and its been a long day.
Essentially, I think the computer method is fraught with risk. Driving home from a recent election I worked out a scheme which I thought at the time was bullet-proof. You know how those "great ideas" sound initially.
As I recall, when the voter was determined to be entitled to vote, the voter would be given a serialized paper ballot and the serial # would be checked off on a separate list - the # would not be recorded with the voter's name.
The ballot would consist of a top original with a second copy that was a faithful reproduction of the voter's markings on the top form; i.e., a state of the art carbon copy, etc. Both forms would bear the same serial #. The voter would place the voter's choice of either in one of two unmarked boxes that were on two unmarked tables that were monitored by two unmarked individuals - who were appointed by the two major parties (there would be no need for other tables for other parties).
Such a procedure would seem to ensure a reliable counting, auditing and reconciliation process.
terycarl's variation of that scheme sounds good but it could raise issues when the monitors had to take a potty break.
Your thoughts?
I’m kind of jumping in here, but I have one major concern with giving voters copies of their completed ballots: it undermines the principle of secret ballot voting. Anyone wanting to buy votes could make payment conditional on receiving the voter’s copy of the ballot with the correct names marked.
That said, it could be accomplished in much the same way by having the voter shoot a photo of their completed ballot in the booth.
Just a thought.
One would think that in the 21st Century we could get a handle on elections for crying out loud.
“It is time we had private contractors handle elections.”
Groups like ACORN would end up getting the contracts. The rats are not going to give up their power to win close elections.
Waukesha is Prosser country. It is likely votes found there are real and will help Prosser.
It’s taking a while, but we’re learning. Always hold back a fraud-prevention reserve.
Seriously, finally they are learning.
Gotta give George W credit - he’s the only GOPer to ever pull off a victory in these type of elections
When the vote count is close the left ALWAYS wins other when the time when Bush said, ‘suck it’
Yow!!
I must say, it’s about time! The Republicans have finally figured out that if they want to fight the Democrats, then they have to be willing to dive down to the bottom of the sewer and fight them where they live.
“Granted, I’d prefer Prosser go in to the recount with a lead instead of Klopditz.”
Coleman went into the recount up over 300 votes to Franken and ended up losing by over 200. Recounts go to the most crooked party in that state.
When Nixon got jobbed by the mob in Illinois in 1960, he was advised not to make a big stink about it because they would then have to explain Texas.
Well, it was late and I was not clear. The voter would deposit the original in one box and the copy in the other one of the two boxes, their choice, and walk out empty handed - perhaps color tabbing the reverse of the ballots and the boxes would be an element, brown ballots in the brown box, green in the green box ? The principle of secret ballot voting would be upheld at every step; although the secret is somewhat public when one registers either republican or democrat.
At this point the ballots are in two boxes, one of which is held by each of the two major political parties.
It would be a matter of record how many voters cast votes - the turnout on election day, together with the mail-in's etc. (whose ballots would be handled in customary fashion). That number could be compared with and not exceed earlier voter registration records.
The actual count would be conducted separately by the parties in what ever manner deemed appropriate. For instance, it might be via scanned ballots into a computer, tabulated and transmitted to the local elections body.
If the parties did not agree on the count and could not reconcile their differences, the count would be resolved by reference to election official's record of serial ballots.
My thought is that in addition to an improved degree of integrity, some such procedure could substantially reduce the cost to local taxpayers.
Elections have consequences, but when the left tries to insulate themselves from the consequences of elections through extra-legal means, they make “further steps” necessary and inevitable.
