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.
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.
