If one wants to flip votes and not have it detected, one would need to have access to unused ballots in case one needs to make any conform to the flipped totals and one would want to decrease the likelihood that the ballots would be looked at in a recount.... Kathy Nickolaus was on the Legislative Council Committee that prepared SB 612 which became Wisconsin 2005 Act 451. That law permits the County Clerk to store the unused ballots (previously the municipal clerks dealt with these) at least until the time for a recount has elapsed and the law prohibits, without a judge's order, the hand counting of ballots that were originally counted by machine. Nothing in the Leg Council file on this bill provided any reasons for these provisionsSee More
