There's that Democrat flexibility in their concern about wasting taxpayer money again.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Kudoes to Wanggaard, but...

The Dhimmicrats will manufacture more votes (they’ll need a buffer, you see) and Wanggaard will lose by more than 800+. I predict some where north of 1100.

Challenging a rat party demon is NEVER a waste of tax payer money... NEVER!

I should think he might have a good chance of reversing the results IF the recount isn’t totally dominated by crooked Dem judges and other operatives.

I wonder if his district included any of the polling stations where those union guys bussed a truck full of senility victims from one poll to another? Or how many votes came from Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, not to mention zombies.

Wisconsin Senator asks for recount in election dispute

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list

A recount will mean that the Republicans hold control over the Senate for at least another month, even if Wanggaard eventiually loses. The legislature is out of session for now, but the Governor could call them back in special session if he wants to.

Kudos to the Repubs on this one. They should drag it out and make it as unpleasant as possible. Challenge every vote and raise holy hell. Keep the Wisconsin senate tied up in knots. It’s time to take off the gloves!

[rawhide]

He also needs to ask about the validity of the voters who who, whether they are who they said they are.

The Rats are suspected of cheating in Wisconsin. I remember someone found many pre-authorized voting applications at a Community college a few days after the election in this area. The applications were already signed by the registar. Some were blank, so partially filled out.

[MNlurker]

He won’t win, but that’s really not the issue. Now all the the voting illegalities that occurred down in Racine will have to be covered and discussed while the recount goes on.

Listening to Sykes this AM the amount of fraud and the complete lack of subtlety about it was so egregious during the recall that it will hopefully embarrass the GAB (doubtful) and spur Van Hollen to get the Voter ID back in front of the WSSC.

“Democrats called on Wanggaard to concede, saying a recount would waste taxpayer money.”

Since when have democrats been concerned about wasting TP money?

What ever happened to the report of polling place material being found in a dump - signed registration forms, etc.??

[Buck-I-Guy]

The problem is that one of the ways they cheated was to have a poll worker enter the absentee ballots into the computer. Now there is no way to differentiate those votes from the legit votes. Once again the Demonrats steel an election.

[Made In The USA]

From another thread it sounds likely they will find fraud. If so, I’d like to see some folks do jail time.

[jboot]

There was a time that I would have had more respect for him if he had conceded graciously.

Not anymore. The game has changed. He should fight the bastards for every single vote. Even if he loses, he should make 'em sweat bullets.

[Sideshow Bob]

From the article:

"The state Senate currently has 16 Democrats and 16 Republicans. The winner of Wanggaard's race will give his party majority control."

Incorrect.

The GOP will actually regain control of the Senate 17-16 next week with the swearing-in of Rep. Jerry Petrowski as the new Senator in District 29. Petrowski replaces a vacancy created by the April resignation of Sen. Pam Galloway. Galloway resigned for family health reasons just after a recall petition was certified in her district. Galloway's resignation essentially converted her recall race into a special election to replace her. Since April, neither party held the Senate majority with a 16-16 split.

Until the recount in the Wanggaard-Lehman race is completed, Sen. Wanggaard remains seated in office.

Regardless of Galloway's resignation, Petrowski's election or the potential defeat of Wanggaard, Senate control during the balance of 2012 is illusiory. The Senate has not been in session since April and will NOT be in session again until after the November 2012 election - when Republicans are anticipated to gain 3-4 seats in new district lines advantageous to the GOP drawn under the decennial redistricting.

"and waste taxpayer money"

Perfectly reasoned democRAT logic:

"We created this mess. You must give up your rights so we can fight for more of the same so we never feel the sting accountability again."

[ScottinVA]

Democrats had called on Wanggaard to concede, saying a recount would only delay their inevitable and waste taxpayer money

After all the many tax million$ spent on those frivolous recalls.. now the dems are concerned about wasting money.

Truly they have no shame.

[Cowboy Bob]

If they were smart, they would try to verify the existence of every voter who did same day registration. If these people (i.e. a greater amount then the difference in the margin of victory) don't live at the address they registered from, then I would seek to have the election voided.

[Lancey Howard]

Excellent!
This Republican is showing respect for all the normal, hardworking, taxpaying American families who supported him. Make the rats prove that all the votes from their bums, deadbeats, and parasites are legitimate. Do not give those sick scumbags an inch. Be relentless and merciless always.
