Supreme Court justice David Prosser has picked up more than 7,381 votes in Waukesha County, a conservative county outside of Milwaukee, as part of the statewide canvass following the election for Supreme Court on Tuesday. The total gives Prosser a comfortable lead as the canvass continues Friday.
The error came when Waukesha County clerk Kathy Nickolaus failed to save some 14,000 votes that came from wards in Brookfield before passing the vote total along to the Associated Press. County officials discovered the mistake Wednesday and shared the information with state election officials on Thursday. Prosser won Waukesha County with more than 70 percent of the vote there.
Wisconsin sources say that the paper trail on the votes will be obvious and difficult for anyone to dispute. Either votes from Brookfield were counted in the initial tally or they weren’t. Still, the discovery of the extra votes is sure to stoke the embers of the heated battles that have taken place across the state over the past two months, particularly because Nickolaus, the woman at the center of the controversy, is a Republican activist. A posting on the website of the Republican Women of Waukesha County indicates that Kathy Nickolaus recently served as president of that group.
But several sources have pointed to questions about her competence in the past. In August, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that her superiors “ordered an audit of the county clerk's election equipment and system beginning with the September primary despite several memos she sent to the committee over the weekend defending her practices and resisting the move.”
Yep. The good folks DO outnumber the ‘Rats.
I have not been near the capitol bldg. since before the hippie riots. I hated to even see their destruction on the news. I live a mere 20 miles due east of Madison. It pained me to know what was happening there.
The morning Glenn Grothmann was chased by 200 commies was a sad sad day for WI and for America.
No one deserves defeat more than these dem-rats do.
I would think that Prosser would want to write the decision on the appeal from Sumi, and go into great detail on his opinion of her competence, intelligence, and likely parentage.
Isn’t there an effort in process to recall Walker?
Good take
2012 should be a total blowout, but nonetheless a great strategy against the communist party after the election on November 6, 2012.
AMEN!
Not to be a wet blanket but those pigs could have gotten more than that ready to go weeks ago.
It was about 14,000+ votes that were not counted. Prosser received 11,000 votes to his opponents 3,000 votes.
Official vote gain?
Or official winner = Prosser?
Finally, the Good Guys get a win and the cheaters lose!
WOO HOO!
According to reports, there is a verifiable paper trail of the 14,000 uncounted votes that were just found. They were on a personal computer used in a town. This is a indisputable paper trail from what I have read.
I think the Rats can’t try to recall the Gov. until next year.
"We fixed the glitch."
Yeah, I was just saying that it’s possible to get a 7500 vote advantage from 11K or 14K or whatever.
I looked at other sources and it looks like the 11K total is wrong.
DIMs/LIBs...you are going DOWN! Just wait until 2012, you anti-Free-America putzes. The Tea Party awaits you all the way down to dog catcher.
If it was “cheating,” it was a case of fighting fire with fire.
If the lefties change the rules of the game through fraud, what are we supposed to do? Just let them take over an ENTIRE STATE??
However, I don’t think it was cheating-—it was just a mistake.
BTW, wasn’t another county accused of destroying ballots because they were likely for Prosser?
