WI Election. Enough Already!
Ramona Kitzinger, the Democratic member of the county board of canvass, defended the process. She agreed with Nickolaus that the board "went over everything and made sure that all the numbers jived up, and they did."

"I'm the Democratic vice chair of Waukesha County, so I'm not going to stand here and tell you something that's not true," Kitzinger said.

1. I personally know some of the Waukesha Dem reps and they are smart people.
My CD chair was there today at the courthouse and spoke to Ramona. I will await a recount and know that they have my back.

This is Wisconsin, we will fight this. If you don't believe that then you've been covering your eyes and ears for 8 weeks.

2. Are we going to hear from more Democrats? Or was this official response?

4. Yes, give them a chance to gather the facts. Thankfully they don't knee-jerk like DU.

3. Then the # of votes better damn well add up to the # ...
... of signatures in the poll logs and the # of applications for absentee ballots.

You don't just lose 11,000 votes and suddenly find them ..... and by the don't
fall for the "red herring" that just because somebody say they are a democrat
and that they think everything is peachy so that must be the case.

Remember Theresa LePore of florida 2000 butterfly ballot fame? She was a
"democrat" too. (well actually she was a republican who had registered as a
democrat .... In Ohio 2004 we had a # of democrats who stood up and said
everything is just fine w/ the election too.
