Allowing Nickolaus A Special Computer Program Raises Questions About Her State Oversight

Milwaukeenewsbuzz has an interesting piece today about the now-infamous software program that Waukesha County's Clerk Kathy Nickolaus used to botch her Supreme Court vote processing, and along with it, the statewide totals in a close race.

Basically, the story tells us that the Government Accountability Board on Madison not only allowed Nickolaus to be the sole user of this program - - it wrote it for her.

Why?

Was this the GAB's effort to rein in an office that had reporting problems in previous elections?

More reason for there to be an independent investigation from the outside of this entire situation, including the GAB's activities.
