She'd better make her break or her next address is going to be the Taycheedah Correctional Institute

Updated: April 26, 2011 6:30 p.m. | Waukesha - Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus has recused herself from overseeing the Supreme Court recount set to begin statewide on Wednesday.

Nickolaus requested to be replaced from overseeing the recount in a letter to County Executive Dan Vrakas, chief of staff Ellen Nowak said Tuesday.

Vrakas appointed retired Circuit Court Judge Robert Mawdsley to oversee the recount.
Nickolaus came under fire after disclosing that she failed to report votes from the city of Brookfield on election night

2. GOOD!

Solidarity Wisconsin says that County Exec. Dan Vrakas, rather than Nickolaus, appointed Judge Robert Mawdsley. I don't even trust her to appoint anyone to take her place. ;)

3. On the face of it, this looks like a good thing. I've got a question for WI DUers:

Does anyone know anything about the retired Judge Mawdsley? Is he likely to be unbiased and above-board in his conduct?

8. exactly. my first question was is he a republican?

4. I should think that would have been a given....n/t

5. Will he have access to her computer?

6. More importantly

Does he know anything about computers or will he have a non-partisan computer expert on hand?

9. Who cares? We're reconciling poll books and hand counting the ballots.

Her PC is not part of the equation at all.
