Waukesha City Clerk’s Shady History
Yesterday we had a stunning announcement from Waukesha City Clerk Kathy Nickolaus that she had found 14,000 previously uncounted votes which gave a 7,000 vote lead to incumbent justice David Prosser. This isn’t the first time that Nickolaus has made news.
Nickolaus has come under scrutiny before.
Last year, county officials raised objections to her practice of storing election data off the county’s computer network, instead keeping it on computers in her office, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
The practice prevented the county’s information technology specialists from verifying that the system was secure from failing, the county’s director of administration said at the time. Auditors later recommended that Nickolaus improve security and backup procedures.
In 2001, Nickolaus was granted immunity to testify about her role as a computer analyst for the Assembly Republican Caucus, then under investigation — along with the Senate Republican Caucus and the Democratic caucuses for both houses — for using state resources to secretly run campaigns.
That computer needs to be seized immediately. A good forensic investigator will find when anything was added or deleted, and recover the data. It is nearly impossible to remove evidence of anything that ever happened on a Windows computer.
I’m betting the computer gets wiped or shipped overseas for recycling.
So this GOPer discovered several thousand missing votes that gave her former GOPer boss a substantial victory. What a coincidence.
I smell a RAT foisting the rancid cheese to the Wisconsin electorate by the TRUE BELIEVERS at the line offices.
Just goes to show how these seemingly obtuse positions can determine the outcomes of elections.
FOREARMED is FOREWARNED !
Let’s remember this fellow PROGS.
Catherine Harris anyone?
As I said on the other thread, she also found Judge Crater.
I had to google “judge Crater” to get the joke:
Jason – I guess that shows our generation gap. 🙂
Come on now everyone. Really?
The overlooked tally is backed up by physical ballots and is limited to the entire vote for a specific town.
Calling this woman shady doesn’t cut it. Her work is backed up and verifiable by a paper trail. Plus the voting results from the overlooked town are totally in line with its usual D vs R split in all other elections.
Nothing here comes close to your typical Democratic vote fraud like finding 10,000 ballots in a Democratic stronghold in someone’s trunk, all of which happen to be for the Democratic candidate.
Vote fraud is never done by openly admitted verifiable human error. It is found by markers like a large overvote in one party’s stronghold that massively favors that party with a nice rounded number of votes like exactly 10,000.
Add another fraud marker like those 10,000 votes came from ballots casting a vote only in a top contentious race while leaving blank all of other downballot contests and you may have something.
It is not being partisan to state the fact that election fraud in Wisconsin has always been the work of Democratic party machine politics. The state’s Democrats didn’t setup sloppy election procedures and things like no voter identity verification with election day registration out of their usual incompetence.
Dana, I think this is a coincidence,
The totals stated by Nickolaus for Brookfield on Tuesday night are exactly the same as the total for the town announced by Nickolaus on thursday. The total as stated by Nickolaus was also shown on the city’s website that night.
Even the Waukesha democratic party vice chairman and Democratic pointman for the county vote cuonting stated the vote total was accurate: http://brookfield-wi.patch.com/articles/additional-votes-found-in-waukesha-county-canvassing
(Found on 18th paragraphy)
Also, Nate Silver stated, “if you want to allege that there’s a conspiracy afoot, the statistical evidence tends to work against you. Waukesha County’s revised turnout figures are pretty normal for Waukesha County, a wealthy, white suburban county that usually votes at high rates, whereas its original figures were at the low end of reasonable expectations, given the way the rest of the state voted,” in his response to all you big government liberals: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/08/vote-counting-error-in-wisconsin-points-to-incompetence-not-conspiracy/#more-8087

It’s can’t be. You were just celebrating the repudiation of Walker. it has to be evil afoot. 🙂 The closeness of the election shows the state is divided right now. I hope it works out for them. The public unions in WI still have as many rights as the ones representing Delaware state employees. Unions are important and I am sure their voice will still be heard as the judicial election showed. There is no need to panic. Both sides have an interest in moving forward. It is good that a supreme court justice did not lose his reelection over a decision he might make.
