Walker weighs in as Kloppenburg claims win (AUDIO)
by BOB HAGUE on APRIL 6, 2011
in ELECTIONS,GOVERNOR

A recount could begin as soon as next week. "As long as the rules are clear, as long as there aren't ballots somehow found out of the blue that weren't counted before, things of that nature, as long as everything's above board, I think that’s fair," said Walker.

Notice that Freudian slip? Scott Walker knew on Wednesday that the fix was in and coming on Thursday when he made this statement.

5. The petty Pubbie who spoke to the media on behalf of Prosser Tuesday night wondered about 8,000...

...votes being found in a bag in Milwaukee. He was only one county off.

NGU.

[JDPriestly]

55. Could the votes have been found been intended to cover up

the fact that votes somewhere else, say in a Democratic area like parts of Milwaukee or Madison were "lost"?

[Maraya1969]

60. Maybe she was hiding them until she got done making them up.

[freshwest]

84. Ah, the smoke screen above the shell game con. Wait, that's two. But they're CONservatives.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

66. Interesting how close this number is to the # of votes that were "found" for him-nt

[eowyn_of_rohan]

76. Prosser's election night statement

Not that I find anything particularly compelling in his comments, but it seemed out of place for him to come out at 1:40 am and give a statement when the vote was too close for either a concession or a winning speech.

These were all coming in on Twitter:

- "I had a rip-roaring victory speech prepared". Says he also had a concession speech. But he didn't have a speech for "an impasse".

*** Not sure what's actually out, or what's real. expects good results but wants to go to bed

*** He expects he will hold his slight lead and will win the race. A recount is all-but-certain.

- don't want to hold people here. I want to go to bed. Little doubt of a recall.

- "We've withstood the greatest assault on a person's character in the history of the Wisconsin judiciary"

- "We've weathered the nuclear blast, and I'm still standing"

- "Thanks people for coming out for "historic election". "It's past my bedtime here".

7. Maybe David Koch needs to give him another call

:P

11. Why wouldn't they? Think like a Republican for a minute. Let's see, I'm

going to win eventually; the fix is in and won't be overturned; nobody, especially me, will be punished for it; I might as well gloat and rub their faces in it because, after all, I'm a Republican asshole and that's how we roll.

Might I suggest 'The Purloined Letter' as some reading which may allow additional perspectives...?

15. Calling attention, or laying the groundwork?

If you mention rather matter-of-factly that lost ballots may be found, it makes it much less shocking to the public (in theory) if it actually comes to pass. Isn't it less scary to have someone jump from behind a bush and go "boo" after you have been warned that there might be someone behind the bush?

[Junkdrawer]

16. +1000 My thought exactly.

[deutsey]

18. Remember Bush and his family coming on TV in 2000 saying they

were confident GWB won Florida?

[DefenseLawyer]

20. Or the creepy scene with Bush on election night in 2004

calling the press up to the East Wing with the whole Bush clan there just so he could say "I think we're going to win" followed immediately by Rove telling the press that they think there are problems with the exit polls in Ohio.

[tomp]

32. exactly. remember the new pearl harbor of 9/11. nt

[AtheistCrusader]

54. This sort of event is legendary among right-wingers.

They almost stole the Governor race in Washington State one year.

They counted. They won.
We found a box of ballots in an election worker's car.
We recounted. They won by a slimmer margin.
We recounted again. We won.

And they have been screaming like banshees about it ever since.
(Thankfully we got Gregoire. She's been great for our state. Rossi would have been a damn disaster)

[Fla_Democrat]

75. wait, what??

o.0

[AtheistCrusader]

90. Yep.

The 2004 Governor's election in WA took months to resolve.

[freshwest]

86. Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. The better to get people to roll over and take it.

28. I'm with you on that. It was a Fraudian slip like years ago when

Pete Smith was caught on tape saying that the 2004 Prez vote count was "done" before the election.

[eppur_se_muova]

74. I love that term -- "Fraudian". We need it so much when discussing Repugs ... nt

[freshwest]

87. Remember when the rightwing pundits said the 2004 election should be postponed...

Because so many people at polling places would make good targets for a terrorist attack? They floated that trial balloon on MSM to see if it work. It didn't, so they just went back their old Diebold vote stealing ways.

I regard almost every victory they make in states without paper ballots and strong regulations to reflect more the counting than the voting. We see people disenfranchised, all attempts to get out the vote blocked.

Peter King is on record predicting victories before elections, saying in response to a question about a Democratic surge, 'Don't worry, we're counting the votes.'

Welcome to DU, by the way. :hi:

[Forkboy]

23. Hence the term "slip".

[Major Hogwash]

31. Are you using yours now?

I don't get your point at all.

[SDuderstadt]

40. Yes....

and I'm not surprised you don't get it.

[Forkboy]

43. You're not the only one who finds no surprises here.

[tomp]

33. amazing, you're wrong again! how do you do it? nt

[SDuderstadt]

41. I prefer to draw conclusions...

based upon evidence, not speculation, don't you?

[tomp]

62. drawing a conclusion does not guarantee....

.....drawing a correct conclusion.

[socialist_n_TN]

35. Because they're arrogant and stupid...........

THEY DON'T CARE ANYMORE. It doesn't matter if it looks suspicious, nobody will call them on it anyway. Nobody with any authority anyway.

[bbgrunt]

46. ...and it enhances their pleasure when they can maliciously toy with you

like a psychopathic serial killer. That is their instinct.

[Octafish]

70. self delete

[socialist_n_TN]

72. All part of the psychotic mindset of the............

capitalist/exploiting class.

[ktdid56]

88. Arrogant yes, but stupid?

Not even close. They are cunning and incredibly deceptive. I
agree in that appearances do not matter to them. Impropriety?
Never in their lives. However, I do think that calling them on
it is exactly what is happening now, from people with and
without authority. Listen, the genie was let out of the bottle
and the revolution now has a life of its own. What we as
Progressive Democrats must now do is maintain that level of
enthusiasm in our demonstrations against the corporatocracies
and oligarchies that are ever so close to getting what they
want. Being subtle and kind and quiet about our displeasure
with our representatives is being submissive and controlled.
Not good. Just because we support non-violence in our
demonstrations, that does not mean we cannot be authoritative
with those that we elect. We didn't put these people in office
to snub their noses at us and reap the benefits from their
corporate masters. We put them in because they told us they
would take care of things and make lives better. What you need
to find out is whose lives are they taking care of: your or
theirs? Real easy to find stuff out with the Freedom of
Information Act. Go find out who is giving them money and
things to pull the agenda their way. I guarantee that you be a
little more surprised than you think.

Elections are smoke and mirrors and what we all need to do is
blow the smoke away and hold their feet to the fire. There are
things we can do, whether it be recall or referendums. These
political goons need to be held accountable for their actions.
Perhaps there are pro bono attorneys out there that without
donating money to causes, their time and expertise comes in
much handier. If they were all like Bernie Sanders or Al
Franken, and even Al Gore, we wouldn't be in this pickle. 

Just sayin.....

64. Wrong. STUPID people trying to steal elections...

call attention to it.

[Faygo Kid]

69. Condescending, and I'm sick and tired of it.

No matter what the Repubs have pulled and how obviously their new guvs demonstrate day after day their complete lack of integrity, the criticism by some here (including you) is directed at DUers who might dare to be skeptical of this Rose Mary Woods moment.

[patrice]

78. point+ - but - if you could do it without the shenanigans, you would, so you'd want to encourage

your voters to vote.

You're also expecting margins to be thin, with or without the shenanigans you don't know what the margins'll be, so again you need to get people out by assuring them that no matter what, your side is going to win, since a significant minority of people "decide" to vote based upon whom they expect to win.

[patrice]

79. And in re that "significant minority" relative to a Supreme Court race, there's probably some VERY

important/powerful people in that minority, to whom Walker best NOT be communicating directly right now in any way shape or form. THOSE are the people he NEEDS to tell that everything is going to be okay, so vote for our guy.

[freshwest]

85. Pre-emption.

[Kip Humphrey]

13. To think... not only is he psychotic, he's psychic too!

[L. Coyote]

83. If you have the facts no one else knows yet, it is NOT psychic at all.

Oh crap, did I just say Scat Walker knows something :rofl:

[alfredo]

19. Someone needs to see when the last modification was done

on the database she "found."

[SnakeEyes]

48. she didnt find a database

The were doing their post election canvassing, checking their tables of numbers and double checking the information for any errors. It was discovered that Brookfield's numbers were all zeroes, meaning the votes that were transmitted to her from the election officials in Brookfield were not in their totals. So they added those cities votes into the totals. The votes were entered are the same ones that were posted on the Brookfield city's website on election night. http://tinyurl.com/3oq3vgr

[alfredo]

81. Didn't she say she forgot to save the data?

[PeaceNikki]

68. No, someone needs to count the official tapes and then look at every ballot.

Oh wait, those things are called "certification" and a "recount" and are being done.

[Politicalboi]

21. I'm sure as soon as the county clerk heard him say this

She at that time "remembered" that she fucked up. See it's all explainable. LOL! I wish more people paid attention to the fact that Bush DID say he saw the first plane on 9/11 live on TV when there was no live coverage of the first plane. Unless of course CNN and crew set up camera's beforehand.

[reggie the dog]

58. his homeboys had their own private cameras set up

that is how w saw the first plane. his buddies recorded a video and it was waiting for him in the computer in his limo when he left the school

[LLStarks]

22. We lost. Get over it. nt

24. His campaign director made an interesting statment about "unrecognized opportunity"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x827853
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
12:45 PM
David Prosser's campaign director remained optimistic early this afternoon even as unofficial returns showed the justice trailing narrowly.

"We are assembling our legal team and continuing to watch our vote totals," Nemoir said. "We are encouraged by the turnout and believe in a record-setting Supreme Court election there’s plenty of reason to believe there’s unrecognized opportunity to deliver a victory."


http://elections.wispolitics.com/2011/04/prosser-campaign-optimistic-preparing.html

[tomp]

34. what is that supposed to mean?

i mean, really, please tell me what anyone listening to that is supposed to think.

all legal opportunities in voting exist prior to voting. the rest is just counting. there is no legal opportunity in counting.

does "unrecognized" mean illegal?

[bbgrunt]

47. really! that phrasing makes my brain go "click".

[suffragette]

53. Struck me as a very Rovian statement

Add the part about "to deliver a victory"

And just like that, it was "delivered."

I have the same questions about this as you.

[enuegii]

37. Didn't Diebold's head honcho say something to the effect of...

he hoped to "deliver Ohio for the Republicans" before the election in 2004?

Kind of an odd turn of phrase, in both cases.

[suffragette]

56. Good catch. Yes he said that.

[tomp]

63. good memory and good point. nt

[midnight]

52. That unrecognized opportunity thing... It happened in November

most likely, but we are probably just getting a clue how.....

[suffragette]

57. Good point

[TaylorWatts]

25. It was a signal to put the "reserve" votes in. The 29 hours were spent scrubbing the computer and

quadruple checking the math.

[SnakeEyes]

49. scrubbing the computer of what?

your post makes no sense.

[Uncle Joe]

26. I'm just curious were those IBM recount machines?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Blue

I'm not suggesting Walker surreptitiously called on IBM to produce 15,000 missed votes, they may not even be IBM machines and even if they are, that's not a guarantee of intent.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[Aerows]

27. Massive credibility problem

however you slice it.

It stinks to high heaven, regardless.

38. Ending it with "I think that's fair"

These people are jokes... and bad actors.

[lonestarnot]

50. They do that every time. Foreshadow or shove it in our face after it's been done.

[dotymed]

51. Well, I guess I am a troublemaker.

I call this an act of war...enough is enough.

[Enthusiast]

59. We can expect

election fraud in every state in 2012.

[PATRICK]

65. At the least

considering the character (or lack thereof) of the GOP cast involved you can pretty much guess they consulted heavily on this. I am still ignorant(as I have demonstrated in other posts) of exactly what it means for the election. They want a Supreme guy in there quickly and their polling must have told them it was not a sure thing. Also avoiding the delay of a recount. I suppose this clumsy ruse was supposed to seal the deal. None of the cast involved are more intelligent than crooked so arrogance and lying overlays...what?

I am sure they have likely thought out their main angles before the "discovery", leaving the Dems as usual, one step behind. If this is the best cover story they can come up with the party should dump the governor as well as the bumbling secretary. But then it is so dumb how can it be a cover story? I guess this is what Dem politicians keep admiring as GOP genius.

[PeaceNikki]

67. There will be a hand recount and every ballot will be looked at by a human being.

[WillyT]

73. K & R !!!

:kick:

[patrice]

77. It's just as probable to claim that the statement wasn't co-incidence as it is to claim that it was.

He probably can't prove that it was coincidence.

[patrice]

80. P.S. The guy does have a history of playing fast & loose with election rules, so the probability tha

t it was NOT coincidence is increased by that factor.

[L. Coyote]

82. There were other ones I noticed, like "preserving our victory" when the count was not yet a victory

Discourse analysis is a very useful science!

[colsohlibgal]

89. Arrogant Scumbags On Parade

Nothing is too low for them to stoop to.

This kid of crap will continue intil we get paper ballots counted in front of witness from all parties. It has been proven that computers can be rigged easily and why so many democrats went along with it I'll never know. I am 99% sure that Kerry/Bush was flipped as well as Cleland/Demint.

The other big issue is chain of custody.

It's so funny that we call other countries on rigged elections but allow this kind of tomfoolery here.

I'm wondering about Feingold's loss now.
