Kloppenburg campaign contines to raise objections in Waukesha County

http://elections.wispolitics.com/2011/05/kloppenburg-campaign-contines-to-raise.html

JoAnne Kloppenburg’s campaign today again raised objections to ballot bags that were not properly sealed, raising concerns about the integrity of those ballots.

The objections raised today pertained to bags containing Brookfield votes, and Bill Hotz, representing the Kloppenburg campaign, objecting to the first five bags to be counted. They showed holes along the top, on either side of the bags’ seals, along with some seals that were pulled apart.

In addition, the numbers on two of the bags did not match those on inspectors’ election night logs.

The five bags in the second batch were much better sealed, but none of them had seal numbers, although the bag tag numbers did match the inspectors’ logs. Kloppenburg’s campaign asked that it be noted for the record that there was no evidence the bags were sealed.

(end snip)

So, objections filed to 10 more bags, from Brookfield?

visual to see who is in command of all these human errors...

There really is no room for doubt about it.

to observe the recount in Waukesha. Please help if you can!

as they discovered a bag with a 3.5-4" hole (as described by the judge) and by the time it came back, they'd loaded three wards in the tabulator and were about to hit the button. :grr:

I wish I knew which wards these bags were from. Sometimes there's so much chaos you can't tell. For example, I know there was a problem with at least one bag from Delafield, and I'm wondering where it was from. There's one area of Delafield where Prosser got 84% of the vote, while he got 73% and 80% in other areas.

He is doing a great job handling these objections.

Bill Hotz, a representative for Kloppenburg's campaign, objected to opening the bags, saying there was no way to know if the ballots inside were secure and untampered. Brandon O'Bryon, from Prosser's campaign, said they should be opened. He cited testimony from Brookfield City Clerk Kristine Schmidt about the protective custody her office takes of ballot bags after the election.

Schmidt said the bags are kept in a locked vault until city highway workers put them in boxes and drive them to the county clerk's office. Schmidt said the bags were heavy with large stacks of ballots from Wards 1, 2 and 3, which places strain on the plastic bags, causing tears and a gap at their opening. The bags are secured with a red plastic tie inserted in a single hole in the bag.

Schmidt said the ballots were "absolutely not" tampered with, despite the opening that one Kloppenburg observer said was wide enough for a hand to be inserted.

"I guarantee these ballots were put in (the vault) and not tampered with until they left my City Hall and were taken to the county, and I'm sure the same situation was there," Schmidt said.

so schmidt lost custody the moment they were handed to unionized city highway workers. and of course nothing happened with them. they had nothing to lose with prosser's re-election.

they then delivered election the boxes/ballots to the waukesha recount officials. custody re-established.

Nickolaus recused herself from the recount process. So we can't blame her.

Interesting no?

Kathy Nickolaus is an inept nitwit, yes, but when weighing all the facts of what's been going on in Wisconsin & the egos involved, it's crystal clear that this goes far beyond ineptness. It may be used as a cover, & possibly as an excuse to dismiss cries of foul play, but it's just too convenient & cooincidental when looking at the big picture.

There should be an independent, federal investigation. If the election fraud is pinned down, the entire nation will applaud Wisconsin for putting the Republicans on notice (& held accountable). I have little confidence in the GAB & the judge who hasn't found it necessary to quarantine any of the highly-questionable bags.

On the other hand, if there's no significant impartial investigation & there's no significant follow-up to the recount involving so many questionable bags, there's only one reasonable conclusion: this election was not fair; it was tainted.

each bag contains about 300-500 votes. for every 10 votes prosser gains 5(14000 votes=7000 prosser gain)

10 bags at 300 each =3000 votes = +1500 prosser
10 bags at 500 each =5000 votes = +2500 prosser

that means we have to challenge and get disallowed about 30-50 bags of votes in a court challenge. to win!!

easy yes?
