Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Part 19
After the initial poll results were tallied in the election for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, liberal leaning Joanne Kloppenburg held a slim 200 plus vote margin over conservative leaning, and current Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, David Prosser. You may remember that Ms. Kloppenburg was heavily supported by Wisconsin unions who hoped that she would be the swing vote in voiding Wisconsin’s new labor law.
Well, all that has changed virtually over night. It now appears that Justice Prosser holds a 7000 or so vote lead. How did this happen? Well, it seems that some 14,315 votes from the city of Brookfield, Wisconsin (which no one seems to dispute were actually cast) were omitted from the official total reported by Waukesha County to the state. Of those votes, 10,859 were cast for Justice Prosser, and, 3,456 for Ms. Kloppenburg.
If you go to the link you can see the entire video press conference of Waukesha County Clerk, Kathy Nickolaus explaining what happened, but, here is part of her statement,
I’m thankful that this error was caught early in the process. This is not a case of extra ballots being found. This is human error which I apologize for,” Nickolaus said, her voice wavering as she spoke to reporters.
Certainly, this saga will continue, and we’ll try to keep you posted as soon as we learn anything new.

Looks like they vote early and often in Wisconsin. Motor voter, early voting, same day registration – they're all fraudulent. If people can't get off their asses and vote on election day- with proper registration – the hell with them.
So, Wisconsin is in Chicago??? Geography is sooo tough, right, Barry?
As Hugh Hewitt once wrote: if it isn't close, they can't cheat.
No, they can cheat. It's just harder for them to do it successfully. Thank God it was a large enough lead.
I disturbs me that there were many votes cast that were not legal.? The last minute registering of voters, and no verification before they cast their votes lead to democrats winning seats.? The fact that in Wisconsin there were 5000 more votes cast then there were voters, etc.? So much voter fraud by the Dems, yet the Rep. did nothing to challenge.? Why is this?
So how do we fix Bridgeport, Hartford, & New Haven? We know they don't win legally…how do we fix this mess in this state? Wisconsin, please tell us how? The Nation is watching the great state of Wisconsin, forget Iowa….it's all about Wisconsin.
1) Real IDs legally obtained, checked off of a properly verified residence list
2) Registration cut off 10 days before elections
3) Third party non-affiliated poll watchers with two party verification
4) Publish and stick to mail-in ballot rules
5) Publish and enforce what constitutes a properly filled out or electronic ballot
6) Check all new registrations for proper citizenship
Simple right?
Nothing is perfect but to lose a whole town's ballots is unusual,what kind of machines do they use? Not that paper ballot make your X thing that Susie got us to use? When we had the best system ever.
