Why does it seem that people go out of their way to minimize the value of their excerpts?

They give us 300 words — we should use them to get across the point of the article.

Anyway, the jist of the article is that the democrats told the 80-year-old to write something damaging, so she did.

But if you read the entire article, what you find is that this democrat is confused as to why “nothing” came up in canvasssing about a “15,000-vote” error.

Of course, the reason nothing came up in canvassing is because there was never a 15,000-vote error in the vote tabulation. There were in fact SOME errors in vote reporting, with a couple hundred votes switching back and forth, or being added or subtracted, as they canvassed the precincts comparing the reported totals against a re-evaluation of the actual data.

But obviously, when they looked at the city numbers, the 15,000 votes they found matched the 15,000 votes that were REPORTED.

Because the problem with that city wasn’t an ERROR in the report, it was a failure to transmit the report. The City didn’t mistakenly report 0 votes, they correctly reported the votes, but someone forgot to send them on. That’s not an “error” that a canvassing board corrects, because the canvassing board is checking individual results against what was reported.

It is pretty much assumed that as the canvassing board completes each area, they then officially send the numbers. If absolutely NO numbers had been reported before canvassing started, there would still be NO canvassing errors related to the lack of reporting — just good numbers being reported from canvassing.

In my opinion, that might be a better way to do things in places where they are so incompetent they can’t seem to report things correctly.

It’s not a big deal in more modern places where they have figured out how to do fancy cutting and pasting.

....who was widely quoted ....

She said it LIVE on a televised Press Conference. The paper makes it sound like it was some kind of popular hearsay. Play the *()() tape.

She was widely quoted because she was quotable.

Poor thing, I honored her for her ernestnest in the press conference.

The dems are grasping at straws. Either the votes were real or they weren't, and virtually no one disputes that they were real, otherwise they would have to make the ludicrous argument that absolutely 0 people in one large town voted. The only dispute is why they weren't originally added to the count when they were tallied. A question that might impact future count procedures but will have absolutely no effect on the count, unless the dems are actually dumb enough to try to argue that 14,000+ voters should be disenfranchised because of a minor posting error that occurred BEFORE the vote was certified (which is why the counties are given time to make corrections before certification). In other words, it should quickly get laughed out of court if they even bothered to try.

Here’s the latest from the state election blog. The State official says the votes are there, always have been. The Clerk just screwed up in what was reported to AP, which when you think about it - who gives a rip?

GAB Director Kevin Kennedy says the agency’s investigation of spring election procedures in Waukesha County remains ongoing, but that the final canvass numbers in the city of Brookfield match the initial tallies from poll workers on Election Night.

“We don’t see, at this point, any criminal activity, but we certainly see practices that need to be changed to bolster public confidence,” Kennedy said.

GAB staff is now the process of matching those numbers for all Waukesha County wards after Brookfield ballots were mistakenly left out of Election Night returns from the county clerk. The numbers tentatively turned a razor-thin lead for Supreme Court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg into a margin of more than 7,000 votes in favor of incumbent Justice David Prosser.

Kennedy also said GAB staff is reviewing Election Night practices in the county, saying he hopes to give the public and the press greater access to the county’s results and break them down by voting precinct so that the 24 voting wards in Brookfield wouldn’t be overlooked in future elections.

Kennedy also said the Milwaukee County canvass likely won’t be done until Wednesday.

He’s getting phone calls fron all the Dem Orgs threatening his family, I’m sure.
Remember what the Democrats did to the county clerk from 2000?

You REALLY don’t want to be a Democrat that becomes an enemy of the Obamunist State right now.

I believe the Dem strategy is not necessarily to win this “recount”. No vote fraud took place and they know it. They are trying to create the impression that the election was stolen in order to motivate their recall effort. It's all they have left, and they know if they can't pull that off, Wisconsin will be used as a template for the rest of the states to roll back public employee unions.

They're fighting for their very existence. The facts are irrelevant.

I'll stick with her first response. I hope she hasn't lived 80 years to sell her soul to the highest bidder.

Ramona Kitzinger, the Democratic member of the county board of canvass, defended the process. She agreed with Nickolaus that the board "went over everything and made sure that all the numbers jived up, and they did."

"I'm the Democratic vice chair of Waukesha County, so I'm not going to stand here and tell you something that's not true," Kitzinger said.

Is there any explanation for this AP link, in the original election thread, that even now a week after the election and many days after the Brookfield correction, shows kloppenvotestealer still in the lead?

I like this new technique of “zero-reporting” strongly conservative areas until just before the vote certification.

Some precincts/areas always seem to lag behind in reporting their votes, until they know how many “votes” are needed to swing an election. Waukesha is counted as “reported” and no one notices that their report did not increment the statewide counters. Then, when it is too late for the Dim precincts to “update” their vote totals, Waukesha comes up with their confirmed numbers. Thereby reducing opportunity for election theft.

I recall the 2008 Dim primary in Indiana. The East Chicago/Gary/Hammond votes did not come in until very late in the evening; after it had been determined that Hillary had won with more than 100K vote margin. If it had been closer, then it might have gone the other way with “found” votes coming in from that area.

"Victor Weers, chairman of the Waukesha County Democratic Party, said that because of national attention to Kitzinger's statement and angry emails, party members talked to Kitzinger and solicited more details. The words in the statement are her own, Weers said."

This should say it all.

They "got" to her.

You can always tell a Democrat, but you can never tell them much.
