1. Well, I know of one thing - Milwaukee County recounts have had some issues

This is one of them- multiple unsecured ballot bags.

3. Wow - so what happens in a recount with such unsecured ballot bags?

I'm appalled ....and I am EQUALLY appalled b/c I don't KNOW how such a situation is handled.

Do those votes in the bag get counted? Or are all votes in the bag DISCOUNTED?

Geeezzzz.....

5. Color me unsurprised. I didn't expect it to be as blue as Dane

county but I thought Kloppenberg would have a stronger showing there. Unless a lot of ballots got disqualified (legitimately or otherwise), something's fishy.

2. I took yesterday and today off.

I am doing a fitness bootcamp, working full time and have been at recount as much as possible every day. I did a 5k for breast cancer with my parents this morning. I'll catch up on Monday. :)

6. Was that the Sole Burner?

7. No, it was "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer"

4. Brookfield of Waukesha was essentially done today

Lots of minor issues. The best references are the comment section of BradBlog and Dkos.

huge problems with the email votes. They were a mess! Plus for some reason a majority of the spoiled votes are for kloppenburg. Go figure. The official kloppenburg rep there has documented more than 200 irregularities. I sincerely hope something more than election reform occurs bc of this!

About 30% done. they are only progressing between 3-5 percent a day in Waukesha.

8. Things will pick up quickly next week

They're moving us to the cafeteria (we've been in a small room) and bringing in more tabulators. They will be doing more than one reporting unit at a time. We desperately need more observers (and tabulators) so if you know anyone in the area, please spread the word.
