I may be wrong, but I think that article was satire written to show the level to which democrats, progressives, liberals, union goons, etc. will sink to force their ideas upon us.

I hope I right. If it actually occurred, then we're in deeper trouble than I anticipated.

This article was not satire. I live in Wisconsin and I heard about it from someone I trust right after it happened. It seems that the election clerk took the ballots out to the convent, which is one of those where they never go out or speak much (contemplative, I think) and she got the nuns to fill out the absentee ballots because they can’t go to the polling place, and which the clerk has done at every election for 20 years. Then she sealed the bag and brought it back to the polling place, but some of the ballots did not have a signature. That is all there was to it.

If you can’t trust contemplative nuns, who can you trust?

It's not satire. It actually happened a few weeks ago.

The story is that the nuns failed to fill in the witnesses section on the ballot. The kicker is that the same registrar person has been handling the nuns' ballots for years and attests that it is them (they are cloistered).

Still, the Klopp campaign had the ballots tossed out.
