Kloppenburg campaign statement

Statement from JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken:

"Wisconsin voters as well as the Kloppenburg for Justice Campaign deserve a full explanation of how and why these 14,000 votes from an entire City were missed. To that end, we will be filing open records requests for all relevant documentation related to the reporting of election results in Waukesha County, as well as to the discovery and reporting of the errors announced by the County. We are confident that election officials in Waukesha County will fulfill these requests as quickly as possible so that both our campaign and the people of Wisconsin can fully understand what happened and why. Just as Assistant Attorney General Kloppenburg has run to restore confidence in the court, Wisconsin residents also deserve to have full confidence in election results."

Well, at this point neither one of us can say for sure whether she’ll have to pay or not. But it’s a nice conversation to be having, compared to 48 hours ago.

Millard Filmore did the math for us! Hat Tip! :)

7,477 could be the magic number! Thanks Millard!

Latest Wisconsin Election Changes by County are at

http://elections.wispolitics.com/

however, to save everybody work i have added up all the counties to the old total.

Prosser leads by 7,241 (751,288 to 744,041) at the moment.

I got this figure by adding AP’s Wednesday total

Prosser 739,886 Kloppenberg 740,090

from here
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/WI_Supreme_Court_0405.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

Then I added the recanvassing results at wispolitics for the following 13 counties
Prosser/Kloppenburg
Brown 0/-1
Clark -8/-36
Douglas 0/0
Door +17/+29
Eau Claire +199/+228
Grant -113/0
Iowa +77/+107
Portage +10/+101
Rusk -31/0
Shawano -1/+63
Vernon 0/+24
Waukesha +11,008/+3,436
Winnebago +244/0 (partial canvass)

Total 10:13PM Central
Prosser 751,288 Kloppenberg 744,041

Prosser’s lead of 7,247 is 0.485% of the new total of 1,495,329 votes. Thus free recount for Kloppenberg (a recount would cost $1m+ of filthy union luchre).

Prosser would need a lead of at least 7,477 to cost the unionistas $1m.

I doubt this hoped-for 7,477 margin will happen. Dane county and city of milwaukee are sure to add to kloppenbergs total.

Still 7,247 will be tough to beat!

Misplacing 14,000 votes is inexcusable.

Not misplaced, just not reported to the AP and since when is not reporting votes to the AP an error?

Scott is amazing, but he does not have a devious bone in his body. What you see is what you get. Remember, a phony caller pretending to be David Koch tried to lure him into trash talk and he didn't bite.

Scott Walker is smart and capable, cool under pressure, but to think this was a genius plan crafted from his desk is pretty far out there.

RJD most famously did that in 1960, putting JFK over the top in IL by around 8000 votes. But he pulled an equally crafty stunt much earlier in the night, announcing JFK’s huge Chicago numbers very quickly, making it seem to West Coast voters that the Democratic was winning in a landslide. Supposedly, that dampened Pub turnout in CA...

The votes weren’t aborted. Just not reported.

Response to statement from JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken”

Missie, sweetie, why don’t you just go and bake some nice cookies and forget this idea that you have a clue? Let the men do the heavy thinking as it’s obvious that you haven’t the capabilities.

Yeah, the part where the reporter points out that her margin could be an adding error in one county and she says “The numbers show we won”...this is a person who intellectually doeesn’t get much unless it involves putting farmers in jail.

Something similar apparently happened in 2000—the media deliberately delayed declaring states for Bush but declared states for Gore right away to try to influence the turnout in the western states. The premature announcement that Gore had carried Florida (while the polls were still open in the Panhandle counties which are on Central time) not only nearly allowed Gore to steal Florida, and with it the election, but probably depressed the Republican totals in the West as voters decided it was all over. Remember that the Democrats made a big deal over Gore’s plurality in the popular vote.

The spreadsheet was sent to the Government Accountability Board, which sent it to AP.

Any complaints from Kloppenburg aren’t going anywhere, since the democrat member of the board of canvassers said that the votes were valid and the error was as stated. There was also a second democrat observer in the canvassing room, which was open to the public.

IIRC, the linked article said free at 0.05%; between 0.5% and 2%, it’s $5/ward.

Absolutely true. On that day I got home from work just before 5 Pacific time only to hear that Algore had won Florida. I was so depressed that I seriously considered not walking the 1.5 blocks to vote, since my vote was essentially worthless. I did end up voting but it would have been very easy to stay home. I have no doubt others did not vote because of the early call for Gore.
