I bet if this was a Republican area they would find more ballots and this would be breaking news on the networks.

and counting elections down. Wisconsin isn't as good as, say, Minnesota (they've got that rogue in Waukesha county), but they're not the mishmash of incongruity between districts that Florida is.

If it's anything like MN, they've got printers on standby, ready to deliver ballots with the ink still wet if necessary.

arrest the election officials and imprison them. They are in violation of the voting rights act, and federal prison should be their punishment.
