I have a Q for you or someone from Wisconsin that can answer it...As I understand this “recount” it is only a “recount” and not a verification of eligibility to vote? No auditing of address/names, etc. Just recounting of ballots, some of which may be fraudulent. If so, not much point.
You’re right...not much point.
All the recount will accomplish is adding up all the votes again, and overturning an 800 plus margin will be difficult. I don’t think examination of the registration process, or of multiple votes cast by an individual, will even be be part of the recount process.
And even if it were, it would be impossible to figure out which votes to toss out, once they’ve been illegally cast. This is why we desperately need the voter ID law (and why Democrats so strenuously oppose it.) Once the vote is cast, it’s counted, regardless whether the voter cast it illegally.
A recount is a recount — nothing more. It is not likely to change anything, except buy time. Once the ballot is in the box, there is no taking it back.
I concur with the poster above who questioned why Walker won the district and Wanggaard “lost”. That does seem odd. Were there more votes cast in the Wanggaard race than in the Walker race?
I’m also concerned about reports of pre-signed blank registration applications found in the trash. To sign a blank application is strictly against the law, and I hope whoever signed them is called in for questioning, as well as the chief inspector of that poll.
I hope the person caught voting 3 times is prosecuted to the hilt.
