The people I know who are working the Republican Recall elections have told me that they have enough for 6 so far, but they are keeping the exact numbers of signatures close to the chest, and should be releasing the total number of republicans that will be recalled in the next week or two.

Though it is true that signatures alone do not oust a politician, they will be officially 'recalled' when the signatures are accepted by the Government Accountability Board.  All 'recalled' means is that they will have to run in a recall election, likely in July, or forfeit their seat.

I agree.  It should be one of the simplest things a person can do.

The vote counting isn't the problem. It's them damn voting machines.  No accountability measures so we are left, like right now, having to explain this fuck up: conspiracy or glitch, and neither rule out the other explanation. 

Need a paper trail (not produced by the machine, btw.)

Makes no sense, we use paper ballots here.

They aren't punch ballots either, you have to connect two lines with a thick pencil mark.

I don't like voting machines either, but that wasn't the problem here...

They Have Not Thought Through The Conspiracy Theory
I can't say I really blame them for trying.  Hey, if a Democratic clerk found 7500 votes for Kloppenburg, we'd be screaming bloody murder.

But here, the findings of the Waukeesha County Republican election official on April 7 were verified by a Democratic election official, so the conspiracy theory gets off to a bad start.  The votes came from the City of Brookfield, which had not been included in the county totals initially.

Putting aside the bad start, the theory being circulated at DailyKos and elsewhere is that Republicans came up with just enough votes to make the election spread greater than 0.5%, which means Kloppenburg would have to pay for a recount.  From Kos:

    It is NOT a coincidence that Prosser didn't get +300 votes or +1000, it had to be +7500 or more in order for the fraud to work. +7400 just wouldn't have been enough.

There's an additional problem with this conspiracy theory:  The vote canvassing is not done.  Milwaukee (ugh) is still canvassing, as are numerous other jurisdictions.  The spread could change.

So if Republicans were targeting the precise number needed to make a recount more expensive for Kloppenburg (as if the unions would not kick in the money), the plan unfolded way too early.

Oh, and one other thing.  The City of Brookfield announced its results, and the results were reported at AOL, on April 6, the day before county officials discovered that the county had not included Brookfield in the county totals.

The Kos kids are going to have to do better.




Charlie Sheen could not be reached for comment.

The County auditors said it was eminently possible -- including historical precedent -- for Nickolaus or a rogue employee to tamper with data. Why? Nickolaus insists on controlling password access and has unilaterally decided to move sensitive files, like election results, onto her personal computer.




Quote:

Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus, a former staffer for the Assembly Republican Caucus, has been sharply criticized in recent months for her handling of recent elections. Even the archly-conservative Waukesha County Board has sharply condemned Nickolaus after past elections, demanding an immediate audit of her practices following ominous red-flags that emerged regarding her lack of oversight, failure to create backup files and her stubborn insistence to “keep everything secret.” [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/18/10; 1/17/11]




http://www.jsonline.com/news/waukesha/100890299.html

Quote:

The issue came to a head when Nickolaus removed the election results collection and tallying system from the county computer network this spring and installed it on standalone personal computers in her office. She has said they are backed up with redundant systems.

Director of Administration Norman A. Cummings said Nickolaus has been uncooperative with attempts to have information technologists review the system and confirm the backups.

The stupid bint forget to tally votes from an entire town that had already announced the results themselves.  A Dem poll watcher said everything was copascetic.  You lost.  Again.  Deal.

There is not one shred of evidence that any cheating resulted in Prosser's win.  I suspect there was some cheating that even made the heinous slag Klopfenburger hamface footneck come close.

So, you can't say who cheated, and you can't say how they cheated, and there's no proof anyone did cheat... but you know they did?

Well fuck... I'm convinced!

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

A little update.

So far, the Democrats have gathered enough (and actually far more than enough, just in case) signatures to force recall elections against 6 Republicans. 2 more are still in the works.

The Republicans are missing deadlines left and right and have only managed to gather enough signatures to recall 2 Democrats, though a third is supposedly coming tomorrow. They've also drawn some criticism for having a bartender give out free shots in exchange for signatures.

Meanwhile, as far as how these elections will turn out, let's take a look at the map.



That's how people voted in the recent Supreme Court election (you know, the one that nobody would otherwise have given a shit about) relative to the 2010 election. Those 4 districts belong to Republicans who are about to be recalled. Enough to flip the state Senate. (I don't know what the districts of the remaining 2-4 look like, but I'm guessing they're quite blue.) And the vote will be held in 6 or 8 weeks.

Scott Walker will soon be a lame duck, then a sitting duck, then... an unemployed duck. :bananadance:

His mouth-breathing will not be missed.

Edit: Excellent play-by-play of this one-sided fight by Rachel Maddow.
