"I'd like to quote an excellent letter by election law scholar Paul Lehto, in regard to Nate Silver's editorial in the New York Times. Lehto nails it:

"A major reason (besides being apologists) why people can "see nothing nefarious" in election results is that it is so difficult to see anything whatsoever...

"Remember it is secret black box voting boxes we are talking about. Data is extremely hard to come up, except for the conclusory election results numbers that pop out of the black boxes ...he 'sees nothing nefarious' because he can see so very little (much like the rest of us) because of the very nature of the voting system.

"What is decisive in terms of where people come down on this issue is their underlying attitude toward things they can't see or investigate."http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/10/965671/-WISCONSIN-VOTE-SPREAD-29,207-7,500-Or-6,744

3. Another Waukesha Snafu: Once again results in the wrong column...

City and county officials said the snafu occurred when several City of Waukesha election returns inexplicably listed results in the wrong column of data, causing errors in the Lufter/Kramer results. http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/176/78108.html?1221409744

This must be a Kathy Nicolas speciality... Having numbers put into the wrong column.....



This past November election new GAB software was used for the first time Kathy Nicolas said nothing happened, but it did...

BROOKFIELD - A mix-up at a Brookfield polling site caused 20 people to vote in the wrong race, a mistake that could be an issue if a contested state Senate race is close.

Overall, election officials have reported relatively few glitches, but Brookfield city clerk Chris Schmidt said the ballot mistake could switch votes in the race between state Senator Jim Sullivan and state Representative Leah Vukmir, who is running for Sullivan's seat.

"It's a great deal of concern to me. You don't want this to happen," Schmidt said. "On my end, I hope that the race isn't decided by 20 votes," she said.Schmidt said election officials briefed her on the problem.

Wanna bet who those "election officials" were? The name Kathy Nickolaus comes to mind.http://solidaritywisconsin.com/node/11/feed-items
