Kloppenburg Filing Open Records Request For Waukesha County
Posted by Phoenix Woman on April 8, 2011
Per WisPolitics, this statement from the Kloppenburg campaign, concerning the sudden discovery of what may be just enough Prosser votes to pull him into a lead without an automatic recount:
“Wisconsin voters as well as the Kloppenburg for Justice Campaign deserve a full explanation of how and why these 14,000 votes from an entire City were missed. To that end, we will be filing open records requests for all relevant documentation related to the reporting of election results in Waukesha County, as well as to the discovery and reporting of the errors announced by the County. We are confident that election officials in Waukesha County will fulfill these requests as quickly as possible so that both our campaign and the people of Wisconsin can fully understand what happened and why. Just as Assistant Attorney General Kloppenburg has run to restore confidence in the court, Wisconsin residents also deserve to have full confidence in election results.”
I understand that Waukesha County uses paper ballots. Which means a true recount is possible. Good news, considering the strangeness that swirls around that county and its clerk, who used to work for Prosser when he was the leader of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Kathy Nickolaus is not going to be a very popular person and if she is proven to have tried to falsify an election she will not be a happy person either.

It sounds like she’s a mix of equal parts partisanship and incompetence, as the 2006 election was screwed up too: http://news.firedoglake.com/2011/04/08/kloppenburg-seeks-open-records-request-from-waukesha-county/

Yup, a certified, non-partisan, hand-recount of the paper ballots promises to be Interesting. As does the discussion of who should pay for it if fraud or gross inaccuracy is unearthed.
