Union officials in Wisconsin are calling for thousands of ballots to be immediately impounded and recounted following the revelation that a county clerk’s computer error tipped the state Supreme Court election in conservative Justice David Prosser’s favor.
“The mysterious, and arguably timely, discovery of ballots on a personal computer appears to be the latest example of Governor [Scott] Walker and his friends unfairly using the levers of government to silence Wisconsin voters,” Christine Lamitina, a spokeswoman for the Service Employees International Union of Wisconsin, said in a Friday statement.
SEIU has organized a series of protests for later Friday afternoon and is prepared to support legal action, if necessary.
“Following what can only be described as a midnight or sneak attack where Governor Walker summoned his friends to help him eliminate collective bargaining rights for nurses and teachers, this is yet another reminder of the lengths this administration will travel to side with partisan politicians and corporate donors rather than Wisconsinites,” Lamitina said....

This is really wonderful. It breaks their back— We now have an insurmountable 7000 vote lead because someone didn’t hit a “save “ button. I really think it is an act of God. These parasites are so evil.
“This is obviously illegal, immoral and unethical.”
“Only us Democrats are allowed to find ballots in our favor.”
“Republicans are not allowed to do that.”
Hey, libs, keep it coming. I haven’t enjoyed the schadenfreude so much lately.
This is a brilliant move on the WI GOP part, even though the right people had to ‘suffered’ a couple of days. This is just SO worth it.
I was going to say something and I forgot what it is. Oh now I remember, “Waaaaaaaaaaa”
The only thing that is unfair to Progressives is not getting their way completely.
Maybe if the ballots had been found in the back seat of a Prius, they would not have complained?
Yeah! There's gotta be a rule someplace that says Republicans have to give Democrats time to canvass the cemeteries when necessary.
Union goons stole this election fair and square. How can they continue to support democracy if the GOP doesn’t follow the rules. By holding back the Brookfield results, the lefties and their crooked cronies in the union movement and the MSM thought they needed to find only 4-500 extra votes. If they’d known they needed 7,000 they’d kept looking in trunks and behind file cabinets for more. Nearly 5,000 more votes were counted in Milwaukee County in 2008 than the county had registed voters; if they could do it for Obama, they could do it for Knuckhead or whatever her name is.
...is OUR trick."
If there's one thing Progressive bullies hate worse than not getting their way, it's not getting their way by being beaten at their own game.
It REALLY brings out the ugly inner child in them.
Listen to ‘em froth. Light a cigar, it’s a good day in America. :-D
I’ve taken a couple of drives through the DUmmies and Kos neighborhoods today. Boy, are they ever in a foul mood. Such a nice thing to see.
Interesting they use the term “personal computer” constantly. True, it is a “PC” as in that particular item’s place in the marketplace, but it belongs to the government. But they stress the “personal computer” part to imply that she invented these votes on her own personal (as in she owns it) computer.
"Legal action".
Now that there's funny coming from a RICO enterprise like SEIU.
They are ALWAYS IN A FOUL MOOD........................
That's no doubt precisely what it boils down to.
If there's one thing cheaters can't abide it's not having those they cheat play by the rules.
Calling Jackie Chiles!
If this mistake had not happened, the unions would have known how many votes they needed to manufacture and they would have done so. Now it’s going to be difficult for them to do so...but I’m sure they’ll try.
