Waukesha County Clerk

[GGGG]

On the one hand, that was a real dumb mistake.

On the other, at least she had the guts to stand up in front of the media and admit that she was at fault.

[Coleman]

I don't really understand what happened....can you fill me in?

[GGGG]

Apparently the State provides an access database (!!) to input all voting results.  The City of Brookfield was the last to report so she entered the data, but didn't save the updated file.  So when she initially reported the results, it was without Broofield's data.

They caught the mistake today during the canvassing process.  They have both access files, and the voting machine tapes corresponds with the updated database.  So there is obviously no fraud...but really.

And can't the state have a better voting system than access?

[augoman]

the initial numbers are tallied by computer, and she thought she had added the Brookfield numbers- but they failed to tally.  The 'certified' numbers are not released until they are 'canvassed', and that is when they discovered that the Brookfield numbers were missing.  The Democrats' observer (vice-chairman of the Democratic party) was at the presser and said that the facts are exactly as stated, happened as stated, not 'found' votes, etc.

.... or, what Sultan said.

Wow...good news for Prosser. Glad to hear it!

[4everwarriors]

So, did Kloppenberg undeclare victory?

[augoman]

[Blackhat]

Not like the Minnesota official who "found" more ballots in her car trunk, this sounds legit

Correct. This is not a case of 'found' votes. They were simply not included in the unofficial (and meaningless) numbers reported to the media on election night.

Which soul-crushing Marquette loss would rival the pain felt by the Kloppenburg side?

--Stanford-2008
--Missouri-2009
--Washington-2010
--Louisville-2011

Probably none since she was an underdog from the outset.

I agree that this isn't a 'lost ballots' issue, but she does seem to be pretty inept at her job. She was receiving auditing recommendations because of moving tallying systems from county computers to personal computers in her office. I really don't think there's anything fishy here, but doing this in her position opens itself up to unneeded questions. Or am I offbase here?

Other than Washington, we were underdogs as well.  In each case, near the end it seemed like we might win.

The whole process in how we vote and tally them needs to be reviewed, IMHO.  I agree with your comments.  I wonder how many times things like this happen, but since it is immaterial to the outcome - it goes unnoticed.  This one was pretty significant, and shines a light on the process.

Not based on the amount of money spent on that race!

[MUBurrow]

I hate that we vote for supreme court justices anyway. the whole thing is philosophically flawed.

If money won races, Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman would have government jobs.

sloppykloppy was probably the favorite because of all the national goonion $$ support and looked at as a referendum against scott walker, but she was passed over for judgeship appointments by both diamond jimmy and obutthead.  some were saying brookfield held out purposely waiting for an 11th hour surprise from the kloppensheim team.  this way they could see their 2500 and raise them 7500

Who?  You're a little too creative with nicknames and you lost me
