Guests, feel free to register & join the discussion! Lake Mills Wisconsin & Election Theft. Am I wrong here?Trap and I and a few others stayed up liveblogging until about 2:00 AM, watching Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Judicial results come in
HERE, and cross-referencing that with county totals and percentage of precincts reporting
HERE at the AP.
Needless to say, the importance of the race in affirming Governor Scott Walker’s public union pension reform agenda, and refutiating (it’s in the dictionary now, thank you Sarah) the Wisconsin “FleeBaggers” and their Public Union Bosses made this a gripping race. The tension and anxiety were enhanced by the closeness of the race, the lead-switching throughout the night, Prosser’s falling behind, and then finishing the night with a race too close to call, 1% of precincts still not reporting, and eyelids determined to turn out the lights and find me drooling on my keyboard in the morning. So when I’d had enough, I called it a night, as did so many others.
If you care to follow our forum thread at “It’s About Liberty”, you’ll see some griping about election stealing. I hail from Minnesota, where we’re all too familiar with the phenomenon of votes being “discovered” in trunks of cars, or “stored in a warehouse”, and then an agonizing recount process presided over by a Democrat Secretary of State who was elected with the help of
George Soros’ Secretary of State Project. We saw similar shenanigans in Washington state with the fraud-ridden election of Christine Gregoire.
It seems that when Democrats win or lose by narrow margins, increasingly it becomes a Democrat victory when the race is important. This race was important, and still is, as the inevitable recount moves forward.
I am casting aspersions here, but what I am really looking for is an examination of what I perceive the facts to be based on my observation and attentiveness over the last day as I watched these results come in. I watched as precincts came in, and as counties showed 100% of precincts reporting. As the evening came to a close last night, one thing I noticed was that all the precincts that had not yet reported save two - Jefferson County and Taylor County - were all counties being dominated in the polls by the Democrats. The conservative counties such as Waukesha and Ozaukee were in, and of the outstanding precincts to report, all but two of them were in Democrat counties.
As precincts continued to report throughout the day today (Wednesday), the race never fluctuated back to Prosser. Then it came down to one precinct in conservative Jefferson County. A town called Lake Mills. As of 1:23 PM Wednesday, the Associated Press showed all Wisconsin precincts reporting but Lake Mills precinct, and Prosser was down by a 206 vote deficit.
Follow me, and please, and if there is something I don’t understand about how the AP reports results, or any other dynamic about election returns that I fail to grasp, enlighten me. I mean that seriously. I want the truth, not validation of suspicions.
Lake Mills failed to report on election eve because they had
“problems with their tally sheets” that apparently lasted into the late afternoon Wednesday. One precinct from one otherwise conservative-leaning county has a “problem with its tally sheets” that not only causes it to fail to report results last night, but fail to do so throughout the next day into the late afternoon. By the time that late afternoon rolls around, all other precincts are in, and the race stands at a 206 vote deficit for the Republican. Then this one remaining precinct in a town called called Lake Mills in this conservative leaning Jefferson county somehow provides enough Leftist votes to pad the Leftists lead by another 563, leaving the total at a 769 vote deficit???
This is a town of 5,557. Let’s assume they are all adults of voting age - completely childless. Following the projected turnout model for yesterdays election of 20%, that means about 1111 people from lake Mills voted yesterday. In order to produce an additional 563 vote deficit, that means that among those 1111 people, there were 837 for Kloppenheimer and 274 for Prosser. Or, a 75% - 25% split - more heavily Democrat than even Dane County.
But of course we know that Lake Mills Wisconsin is NOT populated with 100% voting age adults. At the 2000 census, 27% were under age 18. So unless they’ve all grown up and no one new has had children, we could assume at least a 20% population of people under the age of 18. That would bring the eligible voters down somewhere around 889 people total, split 769 to 163, or, 87% to 13%.
What say you? I’m open to being shown why this suspicion is wrong, or how I misunderstand the vote calculation/tallying/reporting process. But from the way it looks to me, the reporting of votes was carefully crafted in order to fill the demand at the end with some plausible deniability - and I’m just not finding it plausible.
