Lone Democrat On Waukesha Election Panel Describes Abrupt, Incomplete Explanation of Error

More questions are being raised about how Waukesha Clunty Clerk Kathy Nickoaus told her commissioners about the 14,000+ vote counting error.

With little detail or advance notice, says a commissioner.

Ramona Kitzinger, in a first-person statement released Monday, describes being called into Nickolaus' office shortly before a news conference:

"It was at that point that I was first made aware of an error Kathy had made in Broofkield City," the statement says. The explanation was the same one she gave publicly, that she forgot to save the voter information and noticed it on Wednesday.

"Kathy didn't offer an explanation about why she didn't mention anything before Thursday afternoon's canvass completion, but showed us different tapes where numbers seemed to add up, though I have no idea where the numbers were coming from. I was not told of the magnitude of this error, just that she had made one. I was then instructed that I would not say anything at the news conference, and was actually surprised when I was asked questions by reporters."

I guess the story changes after the union thugs or the party leaders have "a talk" with her.

What part of her original statement was unclear? This women was obviously spoken to, and revised her statement. Do the Dems have no shame?

And just a few hours ago, she was a hero. Have you people no consistency?

Nobody said she was a hero. She should speak the truth. Obviously the truth changes once the Dem party leaders speak to you. This still does not change anything. Prosser won. Just do the recount already

So how many dead people voted in Brookfield?

ATTENTION! This is an important communique from the Democrat Party World Control Bunker: You are not permitted to speak freely. You must repeat the talking points we give you. Failure to do so will result in re-education. We know where you live! That is all.

Why don't you direct your nasty comments to the other member of the Waukesha County Board of Canvass, a Republican? She was just as bamboozled as Ms Kitzinger was by Nickolaus' misleading and covering up.

It's obvious that in the very BEST of circumstances, i.e., no intentional voter fraud, just screw-ups, that Nickolaus discovered the error herself, then kept it from the two women on the Board of Canvass, the GAB, the City of Brookfield Clerk, (and likely her staff and county and party officials too) while she frantically scrambled to find a way to cover up the error. When she realized she could not, she quickly told the Board of Canvass and then stuck them behind her during the press conference so it wouldn't look like she and she alone had made the enormous mistake/committed election fraud.

Ms. Kitzinger was directed not to speak at the press conference and was then, during the press conference, questioned directly by the media. Nickolaus gave her the OK to answer the question, knowing that Kitzinger wouldn't have any information with which to contradict Nickolaus' story. Once Kitzinger had provided the 'cover' needed by Nickolaus, Nickolaus tried to pull Kitzinger back.

The Board of Canvass would not be able to detect fraud unless they were able to access the software, computers, and election totals coming from all precincts. They don't see, handle or count actual ballots. They're only given tape print-outs and whatever else the County Clerk gives them.

So Ms Kitzinger was correct when she said that "the numbers jibed up" and also correct when she said later she did not know of the error until just before press conference time.

What is inconsistent about that?
