Can You Stand it? - MORE Open Ballot Bags in Milwaukee County...

I drove to Milwaukee Co. to help with the recount Thursday.

On the way there, I saw this sign in a yard....Prosser for Freedom? Exactly how does that work?



At the recount I took photos of several bags that were improperly sealed. I counted at least 6 like this. There may have been more, but you couldn't tell because they were stacked in front of each other. Note these bags were open on the LONG end - meaning there were huge, 7-8" gaps on each side of the zip-ties. All these bags were from Wauwatosa.





Note the properly sealed bags on the bottom:



I stopped in Waukesha County to see what was happening. For some nonsensical reason the gatekeeper at the courthouse told me to go to the County Clerk's office to find out if they needed help. YIKES I thought, this is the office of Kathy Nickolaus... I went in and actually had to talk to her, which was creepy. She had an extreme deer-in-headlights look on her face. LOL.

You can see Nickolaus in the background here - look under the "Support our Troops" sign.:eyes: I dropped my camera on the pavement at a protest last month and it isn't working quite right - sorry for the blurry photos!



I was directed to the counting room, where they said they had enough volunteers, but thanked me and were very friendly! This is a VERY small room and the Public observation area goes right up to 2 of the tables, so you have a clear view of the procedures, and of Ramona Kitzinger and her fellow canvass board members. There were various problems going on re vote list reconcilation and a couple other issues I wasn't clear on.

Quite an interesting little trip...
