When Kevin Kennedy and Kathy Nickolaus recommended that the law be amended to permit County Clerks to hold the unused ballots, they left the option for Municipal Clerks to keep them instead. This lack of uniformity is highly unusual for state statutes and tells me that there are Municipal Clerks who would want to keep the unused ballots. They may do so because they do not trust the Co. Clerk or because they like the control or because they need the control in order to make the ballot count agree with flipped totals.

It would benefit the Recall Campaigns to find out how the clerks have handled the unused ballot issue. Any County Clerk who has made requests for them may be a person of interest. The Recall Campaigns should find out from the Kloppenburg Campaign where they have detected problems with improperly closed bags and chain of custody issues. These would be areas to watch especially close.

      In many of the minutes that I read for Douglas
      County there were many more BALLOTS THAN TOTAL
      VOTES in quite a few places. I flagged these in
      my excel sheet and with the number. I talked with
      Emily about this and asked her what happened to
      ...the unused ballots, because it seemed to me this
      was a perfect place for election fraud

    • Bill Bucolo Big plus from recount and recall may be that local officials will have to better commit themselves to procedures, scrutiny, etc. Less chances to goof or pull a nasty..

High unemployment and a belief that politicians focus more on profit than people sparked youth protests across Spain.

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

15-M movement only grows stronger — in videos | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR


15-M movement only grows stronger — in videos | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR

Exactly two weeks ago, spontaneous protests broke out in Spain. Here’s some footage to show that the movement is only growing stronger.

"Reinvigorated, as we predicted, by the brutal police violence in Barcelona two days ago, over 9,000 people today took to the Puerta del Sol to take part in the biggest popular assembly in the square so far.

Celebrating the 2-week existence of the 15-M movement in Puerta del Sol today, the popular assembly decided to extend its occupation of the square indefinitely. In the meantime, solidarity protests have broken out all over Europe, giving rise to a popular uprising in Greece and demonstrations in over 100 European cities today.

As was the case with the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings, many skeptics initially argued that the protest movement would fizzle, slowly fading out as fatigue kicked in and day-to-day life knocked on the door. It is to those skeptics that we dedicate this article."

‎"What’s wrong with you people? Wall Street has raided your 401K’s, while they got rich. The mortgage bankers threw you out of your houses, while they collected multi-million dollar bonuses, the oil barons polluted your beaches and gouge you at the gas-pump, corporations are stockpiling money and refuse to create jobs and you worry over the abuse of a food stamp?"

Yeah that’s right. I admit it. I have enjoyed a good life and fattened my bank account at the expense of taxpayers. I hire chauffeur driven limousines and fly luxury first class.

Protesters take to the streets of 100+ European cities | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR

Post on | RSS Feed

"From Athens to Paris, tens of thousands of Europeans heed the online call for a #europeanrevolution.

An online call for a European Revolution was heeded en masse today as over 100 cities throughout the continent witnessed tens (if not hundreds) of thousands ‘indignants‘ mobilizing to demand real democracy now.

Thousands gathered in Madrid for a peaceful assembly on the 15th straight day of protests and occupations there, belying the false idea of skeptics that the Spanish protest movement would fizzle out in due course."

John Kasich’s ADDING to the State’s deficit

John Kasich’s ADDING to the State’s deficit

"It’s sad that not one Ohio newspaper is willing to call John Kasich out on the insanity of promising what could require, by some estimates, as $9 BILLION in spending cuts to pay for his ideological warfare. That not one paper is willing to stand up to a man who was elected by a plurality in an election in which not even a majority of the registered voters voted and point out the insanity of driving up the deficit to pay for income tax cuts we can’t afford, while also scrapping school reforms we can’t afford not to make."

Kasich Policy Director: Our budget tomorrow has virtually nothing to do with the projected budget deficit

Repeat this over and over: There never was an $8 billion deficit in Ohio, according to Kasich’s own budget director

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Yeah, there never was really an $8 billion deficit in Ohio

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Yeah, there never was really an $8 billion deficit in Ohio

"Or are we forced to continue to see the major traditional media outlets continue to report the entirely false, discredited $8 billion figure simply because it has been repeated so often that the media isn’t willing to acknowledge in their reporting that they’ve been bamboozled by this Administration in overstating the State’s fiscal challenges?"
