Poor left wing fruitcakes. The George Soros funded Republican Bashing site Media Matters made this statement when they thought that Democratic Judge Candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court hopeful JoAnne Kloppenburg had won the race, moving the court to the left:
Right-wing media reacted to news that Democrat–backed JoAnne Kloppenburg emerged from Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election with a small lead by predictably bringing up baseless allegations of voter fraud. The right-wing media regularly uses voter fraud to respond to elections where a Democrat wins or is winning, especially following a close race.
And as we see by the video, FoxNews reported that there were problems with the votes, and perhaps some of the voters were underage.
Now we know that there were problems with the votes. It turns out that Waukesha County screwed the pooch by over 14,000 votes. The error was blamed on operator error with a Microsoft Access Database. It seems that votes from the city of Brookfield were left out of the count. The clerk initially failed to report 14,325 votes in the initial numbers reported by AP. Upon further review, the numbers were corrected to reflect the accurate count. And in a tight race with a Democrat leading by 204 votes, 14,325 votes are significant. A game changer, in fact.
Especially when the breakdown was decidedly in favor of Incumbent David Prosser who received 10,859 to Kloppenburg’s 3,456.
“This is not a case of extra votes being found. This was human error, which I apologize for,” said county clerk Kathy Nickolaus, adding that the canvass procedure is designed to catch such errors.
When asked about accusations of voter fraud, Nickolaus, who is a Republican, cited the canvassing process:
“I’m thankful that the error was found early in the process,” she said. “Anyone who sat in on that canvass could see what we are doing.”
Democratic canvass watcher Ramona Kitzinger was also at the press conference.
“We went over everything & made sure the numbers jibed up and they did,” Kitzinger said. “We’re satisfied that it’s correct.”
