[Wisconsin] didn't mess it up for once

Brian Krakow

I can't wait for round two of Kathy Nickolaus: unbelievably incompetent, completely corrupt, or both?

C is the correct answer, as always.

Waukesha still isn't counted. Fuck you, Nickolaus.

There are more precincts still out in Milwaukee than there, though. Not sure what's up with that either.

Also odd that that district has more precincts still out than the rest of the state combined. They need to get some better counters :P

Everyone should have held back their votes until waukesha county was in, because Nickolaus is not to be trusted.

According to those on the ground, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus will not report results for at least 1 hour. #wiunion #wirecall #WTF

Printing up ballots takes time!

Well, that and make sure that there was no way she could have suddenly found 7000+ votes.

Probably a game of chicken.

That would be hilarious, if really terrible for democracy.

Preacher

Well at least the voters board...

Ok but I mean the supreme court...

Or the governor wouldn't want...

Fuck.

Seriously if another key election goes through that county and mysteriously they have votes to put it to a republican than the federal government should investigate immediately. Third world countries have more accountability than that county.

I've said it before and I will say it again: there is a point where corruption and incompetence touch dicks and are equally bad.

Once again Menomonee Falls Dispatch: Joe Petrie-Patch: According to Patch's unofficial totals, Democrat Sandy Pasch leads Republican Alberta Darling 25,938 votes to 22,900 votes. The only municipality still out is Menomonee Falls.

Perhaps someone at the paper should call over to the election board and see why it's the only municipality still out?

OptimusZed

Should have called in the UN.

The numbers look to have held stable for long enough that I'm thinking that's what it is. On all three counts.

Who do you have to recall to get rid of Nickolaus?

Does Wisconsin border Canada at all? If they do, we'll gladly take over running the joint for y'all.

Update: Waukesha Co Clerk's office says 9 of 10 precincts will be on the web in 5 minutes.

Any questions on why they can't report 10 of 10?

Mazzyx

The feds would have to invite the UN in and then governor would have to agree to it. Yeah...though I wish we had international vote watchers in the US because I think it would improve our elections greatly, it won't happen.

We share Lake Superior, so yes in a way

Wait, now I get this...We Are Wisconsin's Kelly Steele tweets: "According to those on the ground, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus will not report results for at least 1 hour." WTF

Unfortunately, she herself is elected, and her constituents love how she's fighting the socialists with everything she's got.

They are waiting for a windows patch, just regular windows not even 95.

Brian Krakow

Seriously, egregious voting abnormalities would be the DOJ's jurisdiction. But they are generally extremely hesitant to deal with these issues for political considerations.

Windows Update popped up, and they forgot to click "Restart Later" in time.

Waukesha's site is giving Darling 4k on Pasch, and combined with Ozaukee it's very unlikely that Milwaukee will save Pasch. Damn.

OptimusZed

Waukesha county is one of the only places in the free world where being routinely and openly shady wins you elections.

Odds are that Harper would show up at the governors mansion, get down on his hands and knees and say to walkers shoes "Teach me your ways oh spiteful one. I want to become great in the ways of dickishness governance."

Not looking good...

Lady Eri

Every site I see right now still has Pasch up, has this super-corrupt W county reported yet?

If she's elected is there no process for primarying her?

edit: badly formatted. Pasch down about 3.7k with 17 to go

Brian Krakow

Whoa, apparently the state Dem spokesperson just accused Nickolaus of vote tampering.

It's a conservative district. They like that she's corrupt, because she plays for their team.

It just came in for the most part. It is 10/11 and put Darling up by 2,600 or so votes. Milwaukee still has 12 precincts to come in.

Maybe someone can act like a fake Republican and out-crazy her? That could also backfire if she still wins since now people can say that the voters wanted a 'sane' person instead!

Also, I'm now hearing that the absentee ballots are still out? I always thought those were counted first...

Also, From TPM: Milwaukee County will reportedly have their final results reported in about 10 minutes. That should tell us the story.

If the current trends hold, though, those 12 precincts will give Pasch only 2100 votes, and Ozaukee will chip in another 1200 for Darling.

Waukesha is a county where seeing an old grandmother looking person saying "I just don't like them coloreds, they act so shifty all the time" would NOT be out of place. I know through esperience

Any chance we can catch them on tape saying this and then posting it online?

Why does Wisconsin have a slice of the antebellum south smack in the middle of it?

Pasch addresses supporters, says it's too close to call to make a statement..

OK, being from Ohio means I have no room to talk, but c'mon Wisconsin. I expect riots if Waukesha swings the Senate.
