Why aren't WI Dems raising a huge noisy and persistent ruckus to
make this NOT happen ???

Observers will be watching everyone, unfortunately that will me also watching the creeps from TruththeVote

The state party will have the ward numbers before Kathy does.

Boots on the ground should neutralize the damage..

The election observer from the Dem side last time wasn't able to say where the extra votes came from that gave the win to the conservative state supreme court justice.

election officials are not at their best after a harrowing 18+ hour day at the polls. That's what I saw going on during that last time that you are referring to.

I say this as a person who has hit that wall as an election worker (way past my rather elderly bedtime) not with any disrespect for the people who do this thankless work.

bags of unsealed ballots. "I don't know where they came from" is a valid response if you honestly have no idea where they came from. I'm still wondering where those ballots came from. It's not as if someone who is participating in voter fraud is going to say, "Oh, I've just had this bag sitting around in case of a liberal victory."

...people with nothing better to do, idle 1 and 0's, "fuck um" we are going to win this.... and Jackson Browne's playin at 5:30 at the labor temple in Mad city on June 5th.

With the polls that came out these past couple of days, no visit from Obama, now Nickolaus has taken her place, it sure seems like everything is set for a Walker victory on Tuesday night.

They and the state party have observers at every polling place and attorneys traveling on call.

Not just blue haired old ladies who don't know what cranny that old bat pulled the ballots from like last time!

The woman to which you are trying to refer to was not an observer. Ramona is on the Board of canvass. Her job is to total tapes and certify the numbers.

No ballots or tapes appeared or disappeared. The number Kathy reported TO THE MEDIA excluded an entire municipality. Ramona does not reconcile to those numbers. She is a smart, sharp, kind, wise and dedicated lifelong Democrat.

And I know Ramona, do you?

But my problem has never been with her! We need more people like her! My problem is with the nefarious behavior on the other side. We need people looking dead on Kathy Nickolaus before she can steal our votes! I'm sorry if I sound too cynical, but that is what I believe.

Waukesha County is very red but the Democrats here are amazing.

What an inspiration.. democracy refusing to die, manifesting
through the passion & efforts of everybody there.

Thank you from New Mexico!

They certainly used her to make Kathy Nickolaus' claims seem true.

Why would they do that? Why did they pretend like she validated the new numbers?

to the media on election night.

What confused Ramona was that she was not told about the omission to the media until after she certified the numbers. She reconciled the tapes, she does not reconcile to the numbers reported to the media.

Kathy 'did that' cuz she's a fucking idiot.

She's a serial vote manipulator and it's stunning she's not banned for life from vote tabulation!

>>on edit, this was covered in the linked story<<

private pc in her office. This pc was not part of the regular office network and was accessible only by she and her minions.

n/t

And I think you're wrong. I wish we had found evidence of fraud, but there was none. There was a lot of sloppiness by her and local clerks, but no evidence of fraud. I wanted there to be so badly.

Also, the application she used was to total tapes. Tapes were still reconciled and certification by board from them, not the totals from her PC.

The GAB has given her new rules since and she has to release ward totals, not county summary. In addition we are now observing at all polling places and the county.

The votes in the suspect bags were counted separately and none weighed more heavily for Prosser than the other bags. None has more ballots than they should have. It's not evidence of fraud, it is evidence of slop.

Nobody ignored anything, it was all entered into evidence and reviewed by statisticians and attorneys.

If you seriously think Waukesha County would EVER lean blue on its best day, you're sorely mistaken.

wrong numbers?

That is how we validate that the bags are accurate, so if they are wrong...it's not fraud, just slop?

How do we validate bags then when they come in torn overstuffed and with the wrong numbers?

Just trust them?

Trust the ballot bags that were left under Kathy's watchful eye?

There were not more ballots than there should have been and they all reconciled to tapes. In addition, the numbers were in line with how the votes go here in a Republican stronghold.

I was there, were you?

They print up the numbers they want....then when there is a recount, they fix the ballots so they will match the numbers they originally wanted. DUH!

How obvious does it have to be for you? I do not feel confident if all our election observers are this naive.

G'head....

I think they are probably manipulating the vote via central tabulator all over the entire state, and everyone is just watching Kathy.

Wisconsin needs to demand independent exit polls June 5.

Exit polls are essential to provide the canary in the coal mine when someone is attempting to steal an election.

I have been a Poll Worker when they stole the election.

We worked all day and way into the evening . One Nusy Body Lady was taking charge from start to finish.

We were all in shock and tired close to closing.

Something about her manner caused several of us to wonder- "what's with her??" but she was in charge with her official badge!

All day long, people were so excited about the Democratic Candidate _ Wikipedia nailed it----

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2004

"November 2, 2004. Republican Party candidate and incumbent President George W. Bush defeated Democratic Party candidate John Kerry, the then-junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts."



Please Democrats, have detectives and spies working each and every day from Now until Election Day.

Democrats need to stand up to them, demand a real vote count, verified by a hand recount THAT NIGHT, before Kathy Nickolaus has two weeks with them in her storage room.

They cheat, and officials "can't ban anyone from the building."

I'm amazed a riot didn't break out/ There should have been one, excuse me.

Everyone needs to ask themselves 'why don't we have exit polls anymore?'

They use to be the canary in the coal mine.

In the 2004 election, exit polls showed exact opposite of election results...so the media determined that exit polls were inaccurate and decided to stop doing them.

It couldn't be that the election results were inaccurate?

And how exactly are we supposed to know now if our election results are even close to how we voted? With diebold central tabulators they can do anything they want to and tell us to eat shit and like it.(and they do)


And watch out, Karl Rove always just happens to be in Waukesha around election time...

everywhere else in the world. We even accept them everywhere else--but here.

Losing the exit polls in Florida is the red flag I chose to begin my "coup started here" timeline.

We haven't been a free democracy since Dec 12, 2000. IMO.

Clearest evidence yet that there is another entity in charge of Wisconsin, one that doesn't respond to democratic accountability. I hear there is even a restraining order against her but she just ignored it and there is nothing anyone can do. Really? I though restraining orders could be enforced by police officers. Why hasn't that guy just called the cops on her?
