Posting this separate--it looks like a net 7,000 vote swing to the R is about to happen in WI

[Godhumor]

The Waukesha County Clerk planned a 5:30 p.m. news conference today to discuss its vote totals amid reports that it failed to include the votes for Brookfield in the results it sent The Associated Press on Election Night.

It could represent a more than 7,000-vote swing in an election that whipped back and forth this afternoon as county canvass totals came in.

Brookfield City Clerk Kris Schmidt said she sent her numbers to the county clerk's office Tuesday night that showed David Prosser with 10,859 votes and JoAnne Kloppenburg with 3,456. She said those numbers did not change in the postmortem she did after the election.

"I have no clue what’s going on. she said. "No one has officially told me what’s going on."

This is a massive mistake, if, indeed, it is a mistake.

2. Of course....just enough to push it outside the free recount range.

3. Here we go again! 2000 and 2004 in Ohio.

This smells to high hell and I BET the Repukes will win by cheating like they did for GWB.

FUCKING SIGH.

[jezebel]

4. yeah Faux News just had a breaking news alert and reported this gleefully. nt

[Frustratedlady]

5. I can't believe this!!!

Are we ever going to have true blue elections anymore? How could this be true? Failed to include 7K votes?

Give me a break!

6. All it takes is one f-cking corrupt County Clerk to sink the whole thing.

Where are the Democratic Party election protection people in WI? Were they all detained at the Wakesha County line?

Cheezitz.

[PeaceNikki]

7. They are there. One of them who is my friend is literally there at the courthouse.

To be clear, this is a very red county, but the Democrats here are AWESOME.

10. I've done Election Protection myself for several cycles. That's why I'm

pulling out my hair trying to figure out how anything like this sort of major last-minute surprise can occur.

WTF is going on there?!? And, why are we seemingly being whipsawed about the results?

[RagAss]

8. We're such fools. We're just not prepared for these motherfuckers.

Until we change we will Eat Their Shit !!!!!

9. refuckinglax. Let it play out before you make that statement.

11. Even the Libyans under Gaddafi aren't afraid to say they have stolen elections ...

evidently we are -- or at least most people are sitting watching their TVs

positive that if anything were really wrong, the news reader would let them know!!

[nc4bo]

12. Wow. Hope they have rubber gloves on hand 'cause who knows what oriface they pulled those out of.

7000 is A LOT!

[PeaceNikki]

13. 14,000 with a net gain of 8k for Prosser.

[nc4bo]

14. My god. Why so late? Shouldn't this discovery be considered suspicious? nt

[PeaceNikki]

15. GAB said they would look very very closely. Waukesha County Dems are there and on it.

[Rex]

16. Yes, but that is not how America works anymore.

We all just do whatever the GOPukers want us to do, the bitching doesn't really affect them and since they are above the law - well what do you expect?

[nc4bo]

17. How about some real change for a change...

Remember when we used to talk about Election Reform here? Remember how we used to wonder why no politician has bothered to address it?

Politicians must think the words Election Reform were toxic.

[PeaceNikki]

18. Apparently the count tapes and the machine counts didn't match. This raised the warning flag for the

canvass.

That's from my Democratic CD chair (I am in Waukesha County)
