I heard Ramona Kitzinger, the Democratic observer at the Waukesha County canvass, say on Friday that the numbers announced by county clerk Kathy Nickolaus at the end of the canvass jibed. Now, by all appearances, shes lawyered-up, and released a statement largely recanting her Friday comments and sowing doubt about what Nickolaus may or may not have done with the 15,000 missing votes. The whole thing is worth a read, but this is my favorite part:
. . . with the enormous amount of attention this has received over the weekend, many people are offering my statements at the press conference that the numbers jibed as validation they are correct and I can vouch for their accuracy. As I told Kathy when I was called into the room, I am 80 years old and I dont understand anything about computers. I dont know where the numbers Kathy was showing me ultimately came from, but they seemed to add up. I am still very, very confused. . .
The thing people need to understand about this is that there is if Nickolaus is telling the truth a clear chain of custody of the vote numbers in question. The unofficial database sent by Nickolaus to the state the night of the election either has Brookfield votes or it doesnt. More crucially, Brookfield either sent their vote totals to Nickolaus or they didnt. If they did, there should be an electronic paper trail and the numbers that came out of Brookfield city hall should match the numbers Nickolaus reported after the canvass. If you still think this was fraud, youre implicating not just Nickolaus but the city of Brookfield itself.
The other thing to remember is that the discrepancy, as I understand it, is between official and unofficial numbers. The unofficial numbers were wrong. The official ones were right. The unofficial numbers were unofficial precisely because they were electronically transferred from municipalities to the counties and eventually to the state, in large part so that outfits like the Associated Press could call the election on Tuesday night. The official numbers were official precisely because they depended on a thorough examination observed by Republicans and Democrats of the actual voting tapes.
It’s the ‘official’ part the socialist-communist-progressive-liberal-democramps don’t like................
Anything on the news conference they were to hold at 2 PM today?
The older I get the more I realize that there are a lot of stupid Americans.
She said something like, I'm the democrat chair of the county, if there was something wrong I would say so. Not exact quote mind you.
Don't buy it at all --- seems like someone got to her to "encourage" her to change her story.
Who cares what Romona thinks about anything? She is simply an observer. Not an official. She's lawyered up? Why? I don't see how her testimony means squat considering there is a paper trail to the votes.

And they were the same returns the city is reporting now that Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus has finally added Brookfield into the countywide returns. That means theres no big conspiracy Nickolaus just didnt pass the returns on to the state and Associated Press on election night as she should have done. No returns or votes materialized they were reported on election night by a site overseen by one of the most prominent liberals in the country.
I dunno, but it probably went about like this..............
Sounds like Ramona just got a hefty off-shore retirement account set up for her.
again I will GO ON RECORD saying “THIS election will ALSO be stolen from right under our NOSES!” The FIX IS IN...bank on it...it’s a DONE DEAL! BUT, I’d gladly to EAT CROW with Hot Sauce if I’m wrong!
Good heavens, she’s lawyered UP?? Has Nickolous retained an attorney? The first read of this “statement” caused me to think an 80 year old lady had help in writing it.
The entire thing should be easily verifiable, it seems to me. Having somebody who understands computer software might help.
Kathy Nickolaus is a great American. If she did what I think she did...report 1,500 and hold back the 15,000, then she is a genius. Prosser was ahead by 742 votes, and the Dems did exactly what they did in Franken, Gregoire, et al: found just enough votes to miraculously put them up by 2-300 “votes”. By holding back, Nickolaus forced the Dems to shoot their cheating wad, and then put it far out of reach. FINALLY the GOP learns (again, if my belief-and hope-is correct).
Can anyone who lives there update this story?
The prestige of the UW isn't much more credible than a coin toss, so I can see the line of reasoning.
Juan the crash dummy insisted that the actual presidential votes were wrong and the exit polls were correct.
Had to do with some business owner repaying employees for political contributions. Most to Walker. although once he found out he retuened the $$
