Info on Nickolous from One Wiscoinsin
http://onewisconsinnow.pnstate.org/site/Donation2?3280.donation=form1&df_id=3280

Here’s what we had dug up and some of what our team also put together over night. First and foremost, Nickolaus worked for the Assembly Republican Caucus when Prosser was the Assembly Leader. You don’t have to be a political science professor to know this means Prosser was her boss. Now, she implausibly finds 7,500 more votes for Prosser. But there’s more:

Nickolaus dismissed an independent audit commissioned over concerns there are massive security threats in her current system. Nickolaus, who maintains a secret system for keeping public voting data, condescendingly laughed off the audit, drawing an irate reaction from the Waukesha County Board chair.
Nickolaus was one of two database experts for Assembly Republicans, spending 13 years becoming one of the state’s leading partisan experts on manipulating voter data.
Nickolaus was in charge of developing a computer program that “averaged the performance of Republicans in all statewide races for the previous eight years in each ward and then averaged that information for each city, township, county and district,” making her claim of human error even more ridiculous.
We’ll send more, but we wanted to give you something ASAP.

Hmm, maybe she does have the expertise to rig the election just right.

So Nate Silver's final opinion about her maybe more accurate then he knows.

"If this was a conspiracy, it was one executed with an extraordinarily high degree of cunning and competence."

12. That's what I thought.
She's most likely entirely capable of doing something like that. Silver may be grossly misunderestimating the woman.

4. Could voters sue her for this?

Maintaining a secret system for keeping public voting data? It seems like it is a voters right to have
their vote in a secure system. Nickolaus kept the data on her personal PC in her office. This was the
only county that didn't follow policy.

6. Not gonna happen. The number of Democrats in Waukesha County was ....
...reduced by half when I moved out. She's in the right place for rigging pro-Republican.

8. Just another dirty Republicon pig. I hope that this is her undoing, shes a cheat and a liar and
worst of all, she's a vote stealing criminal. How can she refuse audits and keep things secret all this time and no one could touch her until now? Investigate, try her, find her the guilty Republicon pig that she is and throw her in a Wisconsin corporate prison cell. I wonder how many crimes this woman has committed that she didn't get caught committing? You know, like speeding, you speed probably 1000 times before you finally get stopped, this woman finally got caught speeding (stealing votes), but how many other nefarious things has she gotten away with?

9. She isn't caught yet, and of course
She isn't caught yet, and of course, if she does get caught she can just appeal her case all the way to....

oh yeah, the justices of the state supreme court that her shenanigans put on the bench in the first place.

No, instead of a jail cell, expect a Walker, or Koch job placement for her with a starting salary in the 6 figure range.

13. And the State Attorney General is a right-wing nutjob
who will do nothing to upset Walker's applecart.
