Im the Democratic vice chair of Waukesha County, so Im not going to stand here and tell you something thats not true, Kitzinger said.
Now: "I'm old and of feeble mind and I'm confused."
Well here's a new wrinkle in the Democrat's well-worn "nuts and sluts" strategy... agreeing to call yourself NUTS!!
Get rid of electronic ballots.
They are a magnet for mischief, lawsuits, fraud. They will generate an endless series of contested elections.
Get rid of them.
IMHO, end all election return reporting, period! The certified totals should be sealed in each voting district by law, and then opened one at a time starting from A and ending at Z, only after all official vote counts arrive at one central location. That includes all absentee ballots. Any found after that shall be null and void.
Many years ago I took a temp gig in Chicago to report numbers to the NES from the Medinah Temple building in downtown Chicago.
My job was to record phoned in vote numbers on paper and run them over to the keypunch operators. I was focusing on the 1982 gov. race between Stevenson and Thompson.
While I am sure that computer networks etc. speed some things up, the fact is that someone is going to have to say, write or type in numbers before they get combined and reported, as the AP does not (yet) have an ethernet cable plugged into the voting machines.
For my $4 an hour, I could have easily made mischief if I wanted, as the damage would be done while they tried to figure it out (unless they had controls ... there were well over a hundred people in that room). Nearly every precinct has several machines, every town has numerous precincts, every county has numerous towns, and large mid-western states have dozens of counties.
It is inane to expect 100% accuracy from such a process. It would be catastrophe to centralize voting in order to achieve that type of unofficial accuracy.
As it turned out, I thought I would be the first guy to know who won. In fact, I was among the last. When one is constantly recording numbers at such a small level from all over the state (I was getting mostly Chicago suburbs), you really can’t get a sense of who’s winning because the numbers are all over the place (unless it’s a blow out). Thompson won, but it was closer than this race (1/7 of 1%), NO ONE was talking about the results and I didn’t even know how close it was until I got back to my dorm.
To this point all I’ve heard is that the wrong numbers were sent to AP. I’ve not heard anything wrong was transmitted to the state. Even so, that’s why they’re called ‘unofficial’.
I’m getting tired of the implication that somehow Nickolaus manufactured votes and there is a questionable chain of custody. There was a perfect chain of custody from casting to tabulation, the only error was transmission of the results to the AP, an unofficial body.
The libs can smear and obfuscate all they want, there are no manufactured votes here. For their argument to hold true that would mean that Brookfield had zero votes, an impossibility. The Dems are trying to disenfranchise these votes on false claims of fraud.
I will be surprised if you are not right. I think there will be many ballots yet to be found, and will be able to get them included based on this perception of improper action that the dems have now created in WI.
“The prestige of the UW isn’t much more credible than a coin toss, so I can see the line of reasoning.”
Umm, if you’re calling a coin toss heads you’ll get it right 50% of the time. Do you really feel UW is more credible than that?
From the GAB (Government Accountability Board) website:
Crawford, Milwaukee, Oneida and Sauk counties are still being worked on, and will be posted as soon as possible. Milwaukee County will likely not be posted until Wednesday at the earliest.Milwaukee is the county to watch!
They haven’t reported their vote counts yet??!!
Are you familiar with the rule of 50-50-90?
If you are right, then there needs to be a war. No more civility. If the elections are meaningless, then the laws are meaningless.
Good point I suppose. Good thing they have not produced retail pregnancy tests there. The upside is that they sell for six dollars but only cost a quarter to produce.
I hope this is what she did. I'd like to think the GOP is getting smarter about these things.
Beginning with that howler: “there should be an electronic paper trail.” sd
And by the way - didn’t the AP read the totals for Prosser wrong - they read a 9 as a 7, so that even before the Brookfield totals came in, Prosser had actually retaken the lead.
Kloppencommie must feel like a idiot running in front of the microphones, waving her arms and claiming victory based on an “unofficial” vote tally given to a wire service.
And, as someone pointed out, the whole purpose of the canvassing is to insure that all totals and votes are reported. As a Freeper said upthread - they were all set with the 200 vote margin and they figured they’d be able to jimmy up the 20 votes here or there needed should the recount/canvas show Prosser starting to lead.
8,000 votes - well, that’s going to be a little hard. Also, were there not reports of ballots being shredded after being counted in a precinct heavily for Prosser? Is there an update anywhere?
So, 5 minutes after all the precincts were "in", kloppendanger was publicly declaring herself the winner and pushing Prosser to concede while knowing behind the scenes that Prosser was actually the winner. She was trying to pressure or trick the winning candidate to concede.
Maybe she lied to her diary, too. Democrats are known to do that.
No!
Although, since my last post, I see Oneida County has now reported. Prosser won that county by just under 400 votes. Which I don't think changed much since election night. I don't know what's taking so long with Crawford and Sauk counties. They're not that big.
She was doing exactly what her handlers told her to do. ALWAYS declare victory as soon as possible. Then, if anything changes YOU are the victim. The election is being stolen from YOU, no matter what happens after you have declared victory. This is Election Stealing 101, and reference can readily be found in 'The Handbook of Election Stealing for Democrat Dummies', Chapter 8, pg. 214, (second paragraph from the bottom).
It's basic stuff. I really wish the Republicans would learn it.
