Stated on the Stephanie Miller show by a caller ... 10K votes on computer
has to have 10K signatures on record ... (and, in RW world, 10K voters ID'd by a photo ID)

can the Republicans put together 10000 different signatures this quickly?

2. every time I voted, I had to sign my name at the register
at the polling place ... and they had this big book of all the residents of the voting district, with records of all those who voted last time, with samples of their signatures ...

Of course, that was in an area where it wasn't clear that there would be a Republican landslide locally ...

8. But do you sign in when you got to your precincts?
Thanx.

15. Okay, then how do they show that you voted?
Oops, that would be voter fraud if you went in twice, three times, whatever ...

17. We go in and give our name and address to two people. Those people look us up
and mark off that we voted. They give us a number. We exchange the number for a ballot. When I first voted at my polling place, I registered there. I may have signed something then.

18. But after that, the ballot becomes just a piece of paper
with no identifying marks on it other than a vote. Nicholaus had the keys to, not only the place, but to every machine in the place and to untold ballots and took her computer home with her. What is to stop her from removing ballots and replacing and running new ones through a tampered machine that will not tally the number but will spit out a desired vote ballot that an interested party would punch in. This woman has proven herself to be a partisan crook. The possibilities for a crooked mind like hers, seem to me to be endless.

19. They do not have to get any new signatures, they only have to get
new replacement ballots for whatever they take out and make sure everything tallies at the end of the day as far as count and sigs are concerned.

I think the clerk signs something.

16. Precinct judges/clerks have to sign a lot of stuff.
Back when we still voted on cards in Texas, the judge had to sign the backs of ballots in felt tip pen, but you weren't supposed to sign tons of them in advance (although you were supposed to have some fanned out on the table so people weren't necessarily voting in strict numerical sequence).

:hi:

The Kloppenburg campaign has already started legal action to make sure that
all poll logs are secured. If there is something funny happening then "they"
would have to get access to the used poll logs and then manufacture the needed
14,000 signatures.

9. It does not require 10,000 signatures to merely change a computer tally.
From listening to Prosser's counting clerk, all they did was match numbers to numbers submitted. No signatures were counted as far as her explanation went. It was merely numbers on a computer.

Now, if a full audit/recount were accurately completed, then yes, signatures will have to be counted.

But since the 7,000 additional votes puts Prosser over the state sponsored recount thresh hold, perhaps Democrats, as is their style, will simply back down and No recount will ever happen.

That's the plan man.

22. First of all, it's not up to "Democrats," it's up to the non-partisan candidate.
Second of all, you're not talking about ordinary Democrats. You're talking about Democrats from Wisconsin, home of the Fab 14. And they will be backing up Justice-Elect Kloppenburg, that's for sure.

Your apology will be appreciated.

13. I think it was about 14,000. 10,500 for him and 3,500 for her
and I would want to verify the total number of voters.

21. Some are reporting 15,000 total votes "found"...
But I believe Blumenthal is a rightwing shill, so take what he writes with a pound of salt.
