Breaking News
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus apologized this evening for human error that she blamed for failing to include the city of Brookfield's vote totals in the tally she reported to the media Election Night. The mistake and two other changes in the county helped net Justice David Prosser 7,582 votes over JoAnne Kloppenburg and swung the race dramatically in his favor.
Nickolaus said she failed to properly save a spreadsheet after inputting the Brookfield numbers Election Night, leading to the error. Once she ran the report to show the aggregate numbers for the county, she assumed incorrectly the Brookfield numbers were included.
She said the mistake was discovered yesterday during the canvass.
She stressed it was not a case of votes being found.
"I’m thankful that this error was caught early in the process and during the canvass," Nickolaus said. "The purpose of the canvass is to catch these kinds of errors."
Nickolaus said there were two other changes in municipal vote totals in the county.
In New Berlin, the initial total in one ward for Prosser was reported as 37 when it was actually 237.
In the town of Lisbon, both candidates had lower vote totals after the canvass.
The wild swing in Prosser's favor immediately raised concerns among Dems, who pointed out Nickolaus is a former staffer for the Assembly Republican Caucus who was granted immunity in the investigation into allegations of illegal campaign activities on state time. Ramona Kitzinger, the Democratic member of the county board of canvass, defended the process. She agreed with Nickolaus that the board "went over everything and made sure that all the numbers jived up, and they did." "I'm the Democratic vice chair of Waukesha County, so I'm not going to stand here and tell you something that's not true," Kitzinger said.

After notes: we assume you know about Wisconsin and the Marxist teacher's union and the illegal riots and the 14 Democrat Senators who illegally fled the state; tune in within 48 hours for our period of gloating. If you are a lib, you will want to go elsewhere for a few hours. Understand that we were told [by the Marxist Media] that public opinion was against Governor Scott Walker by a margin of 2 to 1 !! We were told that the dirty rotten Republicans had "awaken a sleeping giant." That particular phrase was, in fact, used on every network outlet that associated it self in principle with the wacko's at MSNBC. . . . . but I said we would wait for official confirmation on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election results, and we will. More on my official gloat in the near future. I made note, this evening, that not a single Leftist news outlet picked up on this story as they released their afternoon news publications. Believe me, if their candidate had benefited from this oversight, it would have been the top of the news all evening.
