Wisconsin GAB prepares to DESTROY EVIDENCE before the recount. What???

No. No. No. The G.A.B is preparing to erase evidence?

“We are preparing to file an action in Circuit Court (represented by the Wisconsin Department of Justice) this Thursday, April 21 to seek court relief in some fashion to obtain permission to clear memory devices for reuse during the recount or to conduct a Statewide hand count of all ballots in the recount.”-Wisconsin Government Accountability Board

Obviously the G.A.B. seeks to retabulate the ballots cast during the election using the same machines that counted them in the first place.

But we need to rule out or validate possible foulplay: reprogramming of machines to flip votes. If I were Kloppenburg, I’d demand evaluation of the programming and the memory on voting machines in Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee counties and a hand recount of those votes.

1. Can't win fair and square, so low down and dirty will get it done.

2. "...I’d demand evaluation of the programming and the memory on voting machines..."

But you can't, because it's proprietary. Just like fracking fluid, and just as toxic.

7. You said it. It's the primary reason for privatization, no accountability means more profit.

3. Does Kathy Nickolaus have to go and retrieve the ballots from the trash bin now?

God, this real vote counting is a pain in the ass -- wish we could just let Kathy's computer do the work.

8. Huh, forgot your sarcasm emoticon. Here ya go:

9. Thanks for that! Great news.

5. this could be good news: "or to conduct a Statewide hand count of all ballots in the recount"

6. Still think we can vote them all out?

That the system still works, that we can still be good little drones and follow the rules and the paths that they lay out for us and that at the end there will be a rainbow of freedom freely given to us by our oppressors?

Oh well. I will choose to look at it in a positive light, like maybe this is a teachable moment and at some point, people will realize that voting won't work and will strike and go back and occupy the capitol again and refuse to leave until their demands are met.

10. If voting is worthless, why do the GOPigs work so hard to suppress it, huh?

[L. Coyote]

11. Look at Milwaukee County first! Then the undervoting.

The Kloppenburg campaign and the State Dems have this data and chart in hand!

FOCUS on Milwaukee County's red shift!

14. Milwaukee County needs close scrutiny . . .

Beware of diversion and sleight of hand. Waukesha is just a decoy.

[freshwest]

17. I agree. The entire state vote is corrupted by these folks.

12. An admission of guilt?

[iwishiwas]

13. I think those machines in her office need to be taken out to a safe

place.

[freshwest]

16. Yeah, no more hiding in undisclosed locations! No way they weren't tampered with.

The timing of this entire thing stinks like a dead skunk in the middle of the road, intended to get a strong movement out of the limelight.

There was another area with another question mark, with thousands of votes, not just this one county. We've seen what the GOPhers have done in Florida and Ohio when they get offices of public trust.

They don't believe in everyone getting an equal say, and their record reflects that, they never stop working to suppress the voters.

I still say that another vote needs to be called. It wouldn't be the first time that had to be done.

18. Or throw her out of her own fucking office onto the lawn.

19. Scuba, Look at this - I think there is hope!

REQUEST FOR RELIEF
16. Alternatively. GAB acknowledges that one or both candidates may petition the circuit court for a hand recount or a recount by another method approved by the circuit court, pursuant to Wis Statute 5.90(2). If a petitioning candidate establishes a right to a hand recount or a recount by another method approved by the circuit court, and the circuit court enters judgment providing for a hand recount or a recount by another method approved by the circuit court, the circuit court need not decide whether the memory cartridges may be cleared and erased during the recount.

Please correct me if I am wrong...

20. Thanks Scuba. Fraud on top of fraud. K&R for more visibilty. n/t

21. There is NOTHING fishy going on with the Wisconsin votes!
