Could it signal that we have finally learned how to cheat back, Rab laments? Or, attend Ramona Kitzinger, a Democrat on the canvassing board and vice-chair of county’s, stepped up “We’re satisfied that it’s correct,”… “We went over everything and made sure the numbers jibed.”

Thanks Ramona and honest souls in all parties that truly are at the heart of it.

Tuesday, while watching this thing develop, I thought of it as a harbinger of what we could expect in ‘12.

It seemed that if the dems could pull this off we were doomed to suffer another 4 years of ‘bam.

Maybe God hasn’t given up on us after all.

Smart move.

Wisconsin is one of the states in which statewide elections generally show a pattern - GOP leads, throughout most of the day, but a number of precincts in Madison and Milwaukee report late, hours after everyplace else has reported, and usually by just enough to turn the election for the Dems.

There are already reports of the usual sorts of shenanigans - ten of thousand ballots in Madison marked only for the Supreme Court race, with every other election on the ballot blank. A pattern that stinks of ballot box stuffing.

So, she held out 14,000 ballots, from a strongly Republican area, until after the Democrat machine in Madison had generated as many votes as they thought they’d need. Odds are if those net 7500 GOP votes had been included in the original total, the machine in Madison would have kept churning a bit longer, and they’d have succeeded in stealing another election.

In listening to the presser, I don’t think she did any such thing...there are always canvassing corrections. This was a huge one, but not deliberate. Vote totals for Waukesha were huge for the spring election, so it went unnoticed till the canvass—the official counting. As race was so close and the amount unreported to the AP so large, it seems like they were held back, but IMHO it doesn’t look deliberate—should add that 3,000+ went to Kloppenberg.

It would be real interesting to find out if all the “honest errors” favored the Rat candidate. If so, these weren’t errors at all.

The article worded that very poorly. Says the a clerk’s error added 7,582 votes, when in fact it was CORRECTING the error that added 7,582 votes.

Actually, it was wrong in another way. It didn’t even add 7,582 votes for Prosser. It added more than that and gave him a LEAD of 7,582 votes.

"DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN".......was a famously inaccurate banner headline on the front page of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948.

There's a lot of biased and just plain stupid Wisconsin media morons who are eating crow....oops, moldy muenster at this very moment for making the same kind of premature call. To them I say......"GOODY, you scummy liberal cheese-creeps!"

I feel a hundred times more ECSTATIC tonight than I felt crummy upon going to bed last night.

HOO-YAH!!!

GO GOVERNOR WALKER!

Remember the Reid / Angle race. There always seems to be one left leaning precinct that waits until all the others go first. Then they add the acorn votes to cover the deficit. Then when acorn gets caught, the race is still valid and acorn gets a $5000.00 and no one goes to jail. Whats wrong with picture? I’m glad Wisconsin finally has the brains to figure this out.

The county Madison is in has not certified their results yet and have said it may take up to the last day, April 15th to do so. 7500 votes is alot to make up, but the evil Rats only care about the end, not the means to get there.
