Reagan's Disciple said...: I thought all of the totals "jived" up? Now she is changing her tune? The union leaders must have gotten some "alone time" with her.; April 12, 2011 at 6:30 AM

Now we know why: the latter was not allowed to see what was going on in the back room but only was allowed to see the totals added up. Clearly, Waukesha County is not abiding by the rules for observers at a canvass.

But just as clearly, Waukesha County likes it that way, electing a clerk given immunity in a criminal scandal and then continually re-electing her despite screwup after screwup. So you can continue to rest easy there -- unless the state does finally step in to fix the mess in Waukesha and make it come into the 21st century.; April 12, 2011 at 9:22 AM
