Update: Dems pick up 2 seats. There were apparent shenanigans in the same county that mysteriously found 14,000 untabulated votes for the GOP’s state Supreme Court candidate David Prosser, after the Democratic opponent JoAnne Kloppenburg had been declared the winner by AP. Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) subsequently asked the Justice Department to investigate.
Last night Waukesha County seemed to be stalling in the release of their count, announcing around 11:00 that the numbers were at least another hour away. John Nichols reported on the Ed Schultz show that this is modus operandi for the county clerk, Kathy Nickolaus (R).
Waukesha County Tampering
MADISON-Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate following evidence of election tampering in the 8th State Senate District race.
“The race to determine control of the Wisconsin Senate has fallen in the hands of the Waukesha County clerk, who has already distinguished herself as incompetent, if not worse. She is once more tampering with the results of a consequential election and in the next hours we will determine our next course of action. For now, Wisconsin should know that a dark cloud hangs over these important results.”
