The BRAD BLOG : Clay County, KY Election Officials Sentenced to 156 Years in Election Rigging Case; ALSO: Voting Machines Impounded in Perry County, KY

"It is now officially impossible to know whether thousands of paper ballots being counted in the state of Wisconsin's Supreme Court election "recount" are the same ones actually cast on Election Day. It didn't have to be that way, unlike in Kentucky, where the voters never had a chance, and where high-ranking election officials have now been sentenced to more than 150 years in federal jail following "decades" of manipulated elections.

Thanks to serious chain of custody violations in Wisconsin --- such as ballot bags discovered to have been left "wide open" and unsealed in Waukesha County, and ballots left completely unsecured for weeks in the office of the Verona City Clerk in Dane County --- that now make it quite likely the real winner of the April 5th election for a 10-year term on the bench of that state's highest court will never be known for certain. That, even though thousands of votes have now been verified as having been miscounted during the state's partial hand-count, and even as the hotly-contested seat in question will determine the ideological balance of the court during one of the most contentious moments in Badger State history.

The majority of voters in Wisconsin cast their votes on hand-marked paper ballots. However, due to a failure to count those ballots publicly on Election Night, at the precinct, in front of the public (as per "Democracy's Gold Standard"), citizens are left guessing and forced to place misguided trust in partisan election officials like GOP activist and Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus and her unsecure chain of custody and election reporting procedures.

With results that will never be known for certain, the razor-thin contest has now become a fully "faith-based election", in contradiction to the checks and balances necessary for true self-governance.

But where Wisconsin could have had an overseeable and fully verifiable election in which voters might have had confidence, voters in Kentucky, for years, never even had a chance as they were forced to vote on 100% unverifiable touch-screen voting machines.

The good-ish news? That is changing, as much of the Bluegrass State is finally turning to the use of hand-marked paper ballots, though they plan on tallying them similarly to Wisconsin, via oft-failed, easily-manipulated optical-scan systems manufactured by private vendors, rather than counting them transparently in front of the public."

YouTube - HUMAN ERROR OR FOUL PLAY IN WISCONSIN RACE ?


Just yesterday JoAnne Kloppenburg was projected the winner by the AP, by 200 votes against Justice David Prosser, in what was seen as proxy race . That is until a County Clerk named Kathy Nickolaus managed to misplace a whole town's votes . And this town happened to be in a largely Republican district . This is unprecedented in this town and Kathy Nickolaus has been the subject of many complaints from other Waukesha officials on how she handles elections and keeps public information to herself outside the official county system where others can verify it . In addition, other suspicious questions are raised. (1) The suspicions due to the fact that the " discovery " not only swung the election but also put the race just barely past the amount needed to trigger a state-financed recount . (2) Nickolaus waited 24 hours to report the discovery . This makes it harder it harder to challenge and audit the integrity of the vote . (3) The partisan political history of Nickolaus and complaints . (4) Posser is a former boss of Nickolaus . Although this could just be in fact human error, there are far to many suspicious coincidences for there not to be an investigation . The group Citizen Action of Wisconsin is calling for an immediate federal investigation and impoundment of all computer equipment, ballots, and other relevant evidence needed to verify a fair vote count in Waukesha County. Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken, has started the process hiring the national law firm Perkins Coie -- which has an office in Madison, Wis. For further information use link below .

Officials dispute reliability of Waukesha County clerk's election data system - JSOnline

"Waukesha — Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus' decision to go it alone in how she collects and maintains election results has some county officials raising a red flag about the integrity of the system.

Nickolaus said she decided to take the election data collection and storage system off the county's computer network - and keep it on stand-alone personal computers accessible only in her office - for security reasons.

"What it gave me was good security of the elections from start to finish, without the ability of someone unauthorized to be involved," she said."Full Article Here - JSOnline
