Waukesha County - The GOP Firewall
http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/122754533.html


<snip>

Waukesha County voters rescued another Republican candidate last week, since Supreme Court Justice David Prosser has that county to thank for his re-election to a new 10-year term on the high court.

Recount results certified by the Government Accountability Board show that, without Waukesha County votes, Prosser would have lost to Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg.

With Waukesha County, Prosser topped Kloppenburg, 752,694 votes to 745,690 statewide - a winning margin of 0.46%. Kloppenburg has until the end of the month to challenge the final results in court.

Without Waukesha County, Kloppenburg won statewide, 712,913 votes to 660,363.

Really gives you a warm feeling, doesn't it, knowing that the elections in Wisconsin have been tipping based on the results posted in Waukesha County. Here's documentation of a few of the problems discovered there...

2. It would seem to me that the easiest votes to manipulate are those of registered Republicans.
Who's going to be suspicious if the voting results square with the registered results?

4. This is a fucking shame.........
ONE county with more chain of custody problems than in all the rest of the state COMBINED, "elects" a guy who's going to rule on ALL the fascist laws that Scott Walker and his legislative toadies have passed. And Wisconsinites are going to trust these guys to run fair recall elections?
