As per usual, the WI recall election, like almost all elections in the country nowadays, was never actually counted by human eyes and hands. The tabulation was entirely by the electronic tabulators. There IS paper in WI, that is, the people vote on paper. But the vote is run thru the electronic optiscans at the local precincts and nobody ever bothers to make sure the machines are tabulating correctly.
As is pretty clear, very few people really care about this, but for those who do, here's Brad talking about the problem on RT:

I'm not the only one with this sick, sick feeling.
