Far too many questions regarding Waukesha County vote. Contact Holder and ask for an investigation

Email from Credo Action...


More than 24 hours after the Associated Press declared Democratic-backed challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg the winner in lastweek's Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus announced she had "discovered" 14,000 missingvotes that put Republican-backed Justice David Prosser in the lead.

This is deeply troubling not only because Nicholaus is a former employee of David Prosser, with a history of controversialelectioneering.1

More worrisome are reports that Nicholaus ignored standard security protocols as well as a directive from county officialsto store election data in the county database — instead opting to keep all the election data on her personal officecomputers.2

Wisconsin voters deserve a fully transparent investigation into this troubling sequence of events. Given the turmoil causedat the state level by Gov. Walker, we need federal action to ensure a fair and complete investigation in Waukesha County.

1. Ask him to investigate NY-SD7 from 2010 while he's at it.

Optical scanners screwed up. The margin was tighter than in this current case. Court refused to allow a recount. Republicans took over the state senate as a result. No one cares.

:shrug:

2. I'm wondering if Russ Feingold's votes were tampered with...n/t

3. I was working hard for Russ last summer/fall.... IMO there was a very poor Dem turnout.....

...but I would NEVER discount the idea that the Republicans were rigging the elections.

5. His was a sad loss. I hope we hear from him again soon. He's too

valuable..

6. I was as well mainly because the malaise was palpable.

It is a travesty Fiengold wasn't re-elected but the bottom line is we didn't compete in terms of money spent on the race and they turned out the vote.

4. You are joking. Holder wont investigate shit under the orders of Pres Obama. Dont look back

means let the bastards get away with murder.
