Dem Party email raises recount integrity concerns in liberal Dane County

A Democratic Party email calling for temporary workers to man a massive and unprecedented presidential election recall effort in Dane County had Republicans crying foul this week.

The Democratic Party of Dane County advised that County Clerk Scott McDonell was looking for temp workers beginning Thursday to help check over 316,000 ballots cast in this month’s election.

Recount workers could earn $20 an hour, maybe more, on 12-hour shifts, the notice stated.

“We’re asked to forward this to people we think would be up to the job and have time to do this. Please send people to county.clerk@countyofdane.com if interested – or if you’re interested,’ the message said.

While Dane County is one of the more liberal places in the country (more than 70 percent of voters cast ballots for Democrats in the most recent election), Scott Grabins said the email’s suggestion the county government was working exclusively with Democrats to fill the election positions was wrong.

“When I saw that email I was pretty pissed,” said Grabins, chairman of the Republican Party of Dane County. “The way it was worded didn’t explicitly say Scott McDonell asked them to do this, but it inferred a lot.”

McDonell told Wisconsin Watchdog that the whole matter was a “communications problem.”

So sorry. I did a search on the complete headline and came up with nothing. I’m thinking that the search function does not work any more. Well, new day and new eyes because I posted this over again.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah but are there 22,000 of them?

They have an Everest to climb to overturn the results, and without massive cheating that will be the most blatant on Earth ever, it’s not going to happen.

After this is over, every state with a Republican governor and legislature better work like the dickens to firm up these frivolous election recount laws.

The US Congress then needs to come up with a solid, non-court overturnable law on photo ID and proof of citizenship.

Since the democrats support these recount efforts, then they’ll all be amenable to pushing through the laws, no? /S

All they want is to get the seal broken on the Ballot Bag or Container. If nobody from the other side is watching...abracadabra.

Ballot Count – 4.(a) The board of canvassers opens the ballot bag or ballot container and removes the contents.

The canvassers or tabulators count the number of ballots in the ballot bag, excluding any ballots that were set aside and not counted by the election inspectors on election night under the provisions of Wis. Stat. § 7.51(2).

These “set aside” ballots should have been marked and bundled by the election inspectors on election night.

The board of canvassers reviews all ballots marked rejected, defective, and objected to, to decide whether such ballots were correctly categorized when the ballots were first examined after the election.
