Prosser gains 7,500 votes in Waukesha County

She is a republican. Th e head of the democrat party in the county also reviewed the numbers and is agreeing with her that it was an error that the 14,000 votes were not included in the totals.

look, i'm still gonna say this is suspicious as hell. so the general numbers add up - that doesn't mean there was no fraud. I know my district swings heavily for my candidate of choice, i wait for a day or so after the election to see if it needs to swing just a biiiit heavier - but still within the margin of not being obviously fradulent.
 
Seriously, people are apparently advocating we run our elections similar to the ****ing Hall of Fame for Baseball and Football?

Am I in bizarro world?

In no way should a press organization have power over the electoral process of this country.

The exact results were provided to a Huffington/AOL run newspaper on election night. So, we know for certain that what you suggest did not actually happen.

UPDATE: 11:20 p.m. -- Perhaps the most convincing evidence so far that human error explains the initial omission of Brookfield's results comes from our colleagues at the Brookfield Patch. On election night, they reported a vote total for Brookfield that exactly matches the vote total Kathy Nickolaus did not include in the County level count until Thursday. As Joe Petrie and Lisa Sink of the Brookfield Patch reported on Thursday (via Mickey Kaus):

On election night, the City of Brookfield reported that Prosser received 10,859 votes from city residents, or 76 percent of the vote, compared to the 3,456 votes cast for challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg. The Brookfield Patch reported those numbers in a story with chart posted about 12:30 a.m. election night.
[Brookfield City Clerk Kristine] Schmidt said her office also posted the results on the city's web site before going home on election night.

Wasn't fraudulent to begin with. Prosser is still judge.
 
Look at this post folks. Full hate, anger and silliness.

Here's a newsflash Pete, humans make mistakes.

Here's a newsflash for you - weren't Reps/con's panties all in a knot when they had to do a recount on Franken and it turned out he actually had more votes?

There was a lot of hate anger and silliness over it - actually, some are still pissed over it, must be the human element, no?
 
Translation - I never provided a link to a reputable source, because I don't have one, so now I am lying about it.

The link was provided.

The source is reputable by all honest uses of the word. Your claim that the Wall Street Journal is not reputable makes a mockery of your position. That you have to pretend the reality didn't happen speaks deeply of your emotional attachment to ideology at the expense of honesty and truth.

But he actually had more fake votes, and that's the whole issue there. You see, in honest elections the candidate isn't allowed to create more votes than there are voters in a district, and he's not allowed to pull ballots out of his trunk.

The Mayor is aware that you're a "Moderate" and hence incapable of seeing the corruption in the Democrat party, but since it does exist the Mayor isn't going to pretend its not there.

You claim the Wall Street Journal has evidence that the Minnesota election was a fraud, yet you did not post the link, and claim that you did. This is downright dishonest.

Read the friggin' thread before you make assinine claims.

I did. You posted NO evidence whatsoever. The piece that you posted, that came from the Wall Street Journal, was an OPINION piece, and NOT evidence. By the way, do YOU know who the author of this OPINION piece was?

To everybody at Debate Politics - You be the judge. Is this proof?

Here are the facts - Tim Pawlenty certified the election.

Now I will ask you once again to post PROOF, not some opinion piece from myguylostsoiamwhiningaboutit.com. I am calling you out again. PROVE IT!! I also stand by my statement that you did not post any PROOF from a reputable source. All you posted was an opinion from some guy. And opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. If you really believe that you posted proof, then I can post all kinds of opinions about aliens from outer space giving anal probes to everybody, and other such junk, and foist that off on people as proof too.

Finally, Tim Pawlenty certified the election. Did I already say that? Yup, but I had to say it again because you just don't get it.

You see, THAT's the problem. When Dino Rossi lost in Washington, Republicans screamed foul over the votes that suddenly showed up at the last minute. But when the shoe is on the other foot in Wisconsin, it's all good. Same with Democrats who defended the vote in Washington, but attack Prosser now.



How right he was.

I see RH is a Reagan admirer. :lamo
 
So you're claiming an unelected private company with a pronounced left-wing bias should be the arbiter of US elections?

No, that's what we have election officials for.

It is amusing to watch you all gasp and flop once those 7500 real votes drained the pool of hope you people were swimming in. Is there some particular reason the decided outome of the election of a minor judgeship in Wisconsin has all you people so angry and upset?

You really missed the point.

We pretty much have already turned over much of the election process to private companies.
 
how can there be 188 replies and no one has said, how the hell do you lose 7000 votes. Sounds like a liberal steal gone bad. Somebody got caught.
you dont LOSE 7000 votes.
Im hoping they found them in someones trunk like they used to put Al Franken in

If you had read, you would know they were never lost

Damn, did this one ever fly over your head. This had nothing to do with Liberals attempting to steal an election. A CONSERVATIVE worker misplaced the votes, and by doing so, lost votes that would have gone to her own candidate. It was all a dumb mistake by a dumb worker, who should be fired. Having said that, the votes were nevertheless recovered, and Prosser wins the election fair and square. Now you can whine about Liberals attempting to steal votes, and Liberals can whine that Prosser's campaign worker stole the election, and none of the whining on either side amounts to more than a hill of beans. This election has been verified, and the best candidate won. I don't like the fact that Prosser is going to rubber stamp Walker's plan to destroy public unions in Wisconsin, but I am in Texas, and the voters of Wisconsin made their choice at the polls. And that, folks, whining by both sides notwithstanding, is how democracy works.

What a bunch of hogwash! In honest elections, you recount the votes and you don't let some Secretary of State to make a decision and give electoral votes to a candidate that has less popular votes, then cause the whole election to go forward to a right-leaning SCOTUS! If Franken had fake votes as the loonies claim, I'm sure Taitz would have already filed a lawsuit - hmmm, maybe she did and they threw it out for its ridiculousness?

The Mayor is aware that you're a "Moderate" and hence incapable of seeing the corruption in the Democrat party, but since it does exist the Mayor isn't going to pretend its not there.

Oh wow. A news agency owned by Rupert Murdoch printed an opinion piece claiming a Democrat committed fraud. It must be a day whose name ends in "day" today.
 
This just in:

Canvass Shows Conservative Incumbent Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
A conservative justice has weathered attempts to link him to Wisconsin's governor and a divisive union rights law and won re-election, according to county vote totals finalized Friday.

Tallies from each of the state's 72 counties show Justice David Prosser defeated challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg by 7,316 votes. State election officials said they will wait to declare an official winner until the deadline for Kloppenburg to seek a recount passes. She has until Wednesday to call for one.

Wisconsin Election Officials to Verify Prosser as Victor in Court Race Recount - FoxNews.com

MADISON, Wis.-- A grueling statewide recount concluded Friday that Justice David Prosser defeated challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg to win another 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a race driven by the debate over Republican Gov. Scott Walker's efforts to curb the union rights of the state's public employees.

The recount that began on April 27 ended Friday afternoon after Waukesha County officials finished tallying their last remaining precincts. Unofficial results showed Justice Prosser had 752,697 votes—7,006 more than Ms. Kloppenburg's 745,691.

The next day, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus announced she had failed to report 14,000 votes. The new votes gave Justice Prosser a 7,316 vote lead.

Ms. Nickolaus's revelation sparked questions about fraud in Waukesha County. Ms. Nickolaus worked for Justice Prosser when he was in the Assembly, and the county board had criticized her handling of past elections and a lack of oversight in her operations. Spurred by the election results, the state Government Accountability Board has launched an investigation into her practices.

After a few days, clerks settled into a rhythm and every county except Waukesha finished by May 9, the deadline under state law. Waukesha County officials said they needed two more weeks because Ms. Nickolaus recused herself from counting, and the retired judge who took over chose to meticulously document every anomaly, no matter how trivial, since the county was the epicenter of the controversy.
 
Wow, this is terrible news. Perhaps an entire Democratic town was also missed last night...

Wow, I didn't realize that towns were broken out by being Democrat or Republican.
