Wisconsin County That 'Found' Lost Votes Apparently Has Major Voting Irregularities For Years...

from the well,-look-at-that dept
You may recall a little over a week ago we wrote about the Wisconsin county that magically found 14,000 votes in a recent (highly contested) election, after the very partisan County Clerk -- who had just been questioned for questionable methods of collecting election data -- said that she had "failed to save the results" in her original report. While this followup story is now about a week old, someone just sent it over to us. Apparently that particular county, Waukesha County, has a rather stunning history of voting irregularities, including having an astounding and totally unprecedented 97.63% voter turnout rate in 2004:

Oldie but goodie as far as primers go

Jaysus I don't even LIVE in the badger state, but election fraud has a very familiar pattern.

1. Prison wold be too good for her if she has pulled what I believe her to have done...

Let her sit out there for a few years in Arpaio's Arizona tent camps. :eyes: (Of course, I'd like to see Arpaio right next to her)

4. Ummm, voter fraud?

Isn't this election fraud? As far as I know, voter fraud is pretty much a non-issue.

5. Yep you are right, will correct,

8. Now it's time to get a nice little cell warmed up for Nickolaus.

And if she ever sees freedom again, it will be too soon. This is truly a Banana Republic.

9. I fear we will need FOREIGN monitors

at this point.

10. It has come to that point.

Anyone who has any faith whatsoever in the American election process is severely naive. Since it seems unlikely we're going to get any assistance at the Federal level, it's up to other countries to ensure that democracy survives in the U.S. Exit polls were pretty much our only safeguard against this type of bullshit, but when there's a severe discrepancy, exit polls are ignored. And when they fear that the exit polling discrepancy will be too large, they simply cancel the exit polling. This is not a democracy, it's far from it.

11. I am reminded of Mexico at so many levels
