Maybe it takes time on the bench for the pressure of party politics to turn a judge into an activist, but in this important case, we dodged another bullet.
Some counties may opt to count by hand, as Dane County where Madison is located has, but that has always been a choice that is up to the county clerk. The outcome will be the same regardless.
She just won her next election.................
Hopefully Governor Walker can stick that $3.5M right into upcoming GOP campaigns in the state. A big hat tip to George Soros for keeping republicans in charge of a dark blue state.
Follow the law? What the hell kind of judge is that? I thought judges decreed laws.
Can I just make an observation, that a hand recount may not actually be more accurate?
Human error and fatigue enter into the equation, if they are going to have people laboriously reviewing computer punch cards, or optical scan sheets, or other ballots intended to be tallied by machines.
Then you get into the judgment calls where perhaps a voter left the pres choice blank. Liberals will look at such ballots and say there’s a scratch by the Democrat name, and decide the voter intended to vote Democrat, and add it to the vote total, even though the voter may have intentionally not voted for president.
Every recount I’ve ever known of, has come out with slightly different results each time they count. There is never going to be a perfect total of votes.
There actually should be a Google, Yahoo, etc. bot out there that translates anything that says “Jill Stein” to the words “Hillary Clinton” because that is what is up with all that.
Everything is moving ahead as planned by team Satan. The ballots have been planted or adjusted, the judge expedites the recount so WI can be put in Hillary’s column.

A judge following the law? What a novel concept!
She must be new to this game.
No more liberal cocktail parties for Valerie Bailey-Rihn!
To delegitimize. To polarize. to energize.
Delegitimize - they can't win this election, but they can claim Trump didn't either. There are some sports stats that occurred during strike years, that will forever have an asterisk beside them - not legitimate. Like Bush in 2000 - "selected, not elected"
Polarize - keep the people divided, hateful, distrustful of one another.
Energize - the struggle goes on. As long as there's no resolution to the election fiasco, protests like blocking of highways, "occupy" sit-ins, etc. will continue.
The objective is to deny Trump's ability to govern, and claw back some power in '18. Expect this issue to be #1 in the next election, and probably the one after (2020)
How do you hand count a machine? “That’s one machine— That’s two machines?”
she was getting rid of a case that was going to be appealed regardless of her ruling.
