As if the situation in Wisconsin wasn't tense enough, it appears that one county in particular is going to a new extreme. This comes after word that there may have been voter fraud in the nonpartisan State Supreme Court election yesterday between incumbent David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg.
For some reason one of the counties in the state is destroying ballots that 'were not counted' yesterday. Apparently this is a very bizarre and egregious move.
There is now a call for an injunction to preserve the 'discarded' ballots:
I have filed a Wisconsin Open records request with the City of Mequon demanding any ballot submitted but not cast in yesterday's election, including any remnant of a shredded ballot. We have received reports Mequon poll workers destroyed submitted ballots before poll closing time, demanding a drivers license number from the absentee voter. This request is unusual and the destruction of ballots is of grave concern, given the closeness of the state Supreme Court election. I will consider seeking an injuction to back up my request if Mequon officials are not copperative [sic]. Mark Belling, April 6, 2011

Yes, I believe it was. This country has sadly sunk to the bottom of pit by allowing a regime style political corruption voting process to go on this long without being checked.
Has Drudge even covered the election?
Anyone thought this would be a clean election is in la la land.
I agree. If it can be proved that shredding of ballots was done, the whole election can be declared void.
Not on a recount silly.
When the ballot box no longer functions properly or legally it is time to move to the next box (jury), but I’m not sure that one is working either.
Those discarded ballots are long gone.
To a Democrat, there is no limit to the depths to which they will sink.
Don't worry, the democrats can discern who they were intended for.
The unions, and their allies, want to win by any means necessary.
A lot of Prosser ballots could be getting shredded.
I’m trying to be outraged but these allegations come every election. Like recounts, this will go in the Dem’s favor. The inmates are in charge of the asylum. Wisconsin voters FAILED the sanity test yesterday.
Your little laws don’t apply to us.
We’re big, rich, important members of the American left.
Now pay your taxes - we need raises.
“If they broke the law, prosecute.”
I’m sure Eric Holder is preparing indictments as we speak.
I don’t think you understand the basic math that applies to recounts.
Any destroyed, mutilated or otherwise questionable votes are added to the Rat column and simultaneously deducted from the GOP column.
This is how the effing Rats win elections.
I and the vast majority of FReepers on this site don't think they did. The election was stolen, as usual.
First, he'd have to know if "his people" were involved.
