Fact 1: Kathy Nicklaus is a Republican operative. She served on many Republican boards and for Republican causes, before she ran for County Clerk. She is also known as a fierce anti-abortion crusader.

Fact 2: Kathy Nickolaus was heavily criticized for her handling of voter records long before this happened. In an article in this paper from last August, Nonetheless, Director of Administration Norman A. Cummings said because Nickolaus has kept them out of the loop, the county's information technology specialists have not been able to verify Nickolaus' claim that the system is secure from failure. "How does anybody else in the county know, except for her verbal word, that there are backups, and that the software she has out there is performing as it should?" he said. "There's no way I can assure that the election system is going to be fine for the next presidential election."

Fact 3: As recently as last January, people were outraged by Kathy Nickolaus' failure to comply with the audit. As reported in this paper last January, County Board Chairman Jim Dwyer was reported to have said about Nicklaus' actions, "This is the only audit in my 17 years where there's no compliance before (the audit reaches) the Executive Committee."

Fact 4: Nickolaus was close to criminal activity that resulted in several state representatives going to jail, and she received immunity herself.
