Trump lead continues in Wisconsin recount
Wisconsin Elections Commission ^ | 12/05/2016 | Vanity

Day 5 data shows Trump leads Clinton by 6 points. No change for Stein or Johnson.

I am not concerned about the vote totals being changed very much at all. There is no way the Dems can make up 27,000 votes in the remaining 60% left to be counted. So far, Trump is increasing his lead.

The issue is voter fraud and the use of absentee ballots to pad Hillary's totals. It is hard for me to believe that given the demographics of Milwaukee, so many people submitted absentee ballots, a far different pattern than any other county in the state. No doubt the Dems filled them out for them. I would hope Scott Walker would investigate these absentee ballots checking them out against death records, registration rolls, and addresses.

Walker has an opportunity to expose voter fraud and devise measures to prevent it from happening in future elections. We all know that the Dems manufacture votes in the inner cities to win statewide elections.

So in the first so-called "certified" count, these absentee ballots were not counted - at all? Is the number of total absentee ballots known? What, they just dumped the absentees in a big box and never even counted the total? I call BS on that; violates the chain of "evidence". How the hell did the SoS certify without these absentee ballots? Am I missing something here? If the total ballot count after the recount is substantially higher than the first "certified" count, who the hell would not think that massive fraud had occurred during the recount?

You bet. They are attempting to lull us to sleep and then wham!! They find 30,000 votes when all is said and done.

Well, if so, they are going to have to match up the number of ballots with the number of registered voters in Dane County. Considering that not all of the registered voters actually cast a vote, the total found in the recount (and in the “certified” first count) should be somewhat less than the total number of registered voters. No? If we see 150% more ballots than registered voters in the recount, massive fraud would have to be the answer.

If the reported counts don’t include the absentee ballots, then the results indicate that a very large percentage of votes were by absentee ballot.

Note to Self: Search, then post.

I can’t find anything to back that post up. Plus others have corrected me. Perhaps it was the practice in local elections I’m misremembering.

As I understand it now, (from what I’ve read so far) the absentee ballots were counted the next day. That was the practice in Milwaukee, anyway . . .

The absentee ballots were already counted once.

O.K. So the total number of ballots cast are known; so there should not be a substantial difference between the first count and the second count. Millions of dollars spent for no apparent good reason. Stein should be arrested and charged with collusion with Hillary to subvert a national election.

Wrong. They must count all the ballots regardless. All absentee ballots are counted.

That's something that really needs to be cleared up. It has been posted numerous times on many different threads since election night that absentee ballots are not counted unless there are enough of them to change to outcome after all other votes have been counted.

That never made any sense so me, but apparently quite a few people think that.

We had a huge number of people recounting millions of votes in FL in 2000. The Dems couldn't overcome a few hundred votes despite counting hanging chads.

The idea that they can overcome 27,000 votes is nonsense. And Stein trails by millions of votes. Something needs to be done with the WI laws to stop this from happening in the future. Stein is using it to raise money and increase her visibility. No doubt she is being urged on the Hillary and the Dems. Just another mean-spirited way to tarnish Trump's victory.

If Stein is knowingly acting as a surrogate for Hillary, is this not illegal? Can she be charged under federal or state laws?

You have to prove it. There needs to be some way to prevent fringe candidates from perpetrating this on the process. She really should have no standing. Let Hillary do it herself if she thinks that she can overturn the results. Of course, she won’t because it makes her look like a fool.

So are there 27,000 uncounted absentee ballots? If so, it seems a pretty screwed up way to run an election. Are the total number of absentees ballots at least a known quantity?

If there was a dozen cell phone calls between Stein and Hillary, would this not constitute at least a suspicion of collusion? So what about this huge phone data collection project of the NSA? Surely these records exist somewhere. I guess I’m naive enough to think that justice will be done in 21st century America. These fools must be brought to account for this crap.

I’ve always assumed that all ballots are counted. I hope that is the law in every voting precinct in the US, but I don’t know for certain.

I can believe that there might be lazy election workers in some precincts who might follow such a policy at times if they can bet away with it, but I hope all ballots are counted in the overwhelming majority of voting places.

Of course, much of our military votes absentee.

As MILWAKEE gets counted she keeps losing votes big time. Obviously original vote numbers in Milwaukee were greatly inflated

Milwaukee precincts all sent their absentees to a central location so they are not included in the totals yet.

can someone describe how these violations are identified in a recount? It would see they would have to be identified in a fraud investigation.

People voting both absentee and in-person. Dead people voting. Green card holders voting. Just for starts.
