When I heard the election had been called for Walker, I posted on my fb page, somethings hinky here. I felt that way then and I know it for sure now. The early exit polls predicted the race between Walker and Barrett to be a virtual tie. A second round of exit polling data gave Walker a small lead over Barrett but was still too close to call. MSNBC and Fox called the election for Walker an hour after the polls closed with no more than 21% of the 100% of unverified computer results in, and people in three counties still voting. Lets see, within one hour the election went from too close to call, to Walker winning by 7%, with only 21% of the votes counted and three counties still voting. In other words that 21% was the equivalent of 57% of the total vote. This is mathematically impossible; clearly the unadjusted exit polls in Wisconsin do not match the reported results, the adjusted results, of the popular vote.

The fact that 80% of the votes counted in this country are in the hands of Republican backed voting technology is probably the reason why whenever theres a glitch in the voting machine it always skews red.
Now back to Wisconsin: By law voting machines must be publicly tested prior to every election. A Programmable Read Only Memory (P.R.O.M.) is used to reprogram the machines with the details of the current election. Clerks receive two PROM packs from Command Central: A PRE-LAT which is used a week or so before the election for the public test, and an Official pack used on Election Day.

According to John Washburn, Command Centrals DRE offer violated the statutes issued by the GAB (Government Accountability Board) for the state approved system as described on the Government Accountability Boards website that requires the inclusion of an Optech Insight Scanner. On January 13, 2010 emailed the GAB about this situation. When he did not receive an answer, he submitted an Open Records request to the GAB with no reply. On Mar. 2, he submitted another, again, no response. On May 4th he turned the case over to Dane County Attorney, and on May 14th he kicked it up to the Department of Justice." I was pretty shocked that GAB didnt respond to Washburns request immediately, given the subject had to do with the integrity of the Democratic process, that is until I discovered Judge Michael Brennan, one of the six judges on the board, was just tapped to chair Governor Scott Walkers Judicial Selection Advisory Committee.

Besides Dubya, is there anyone more likely to cheat than the Walker administration?
