Dare we hope… — 17 Comments

  1. Makes you wonder whether some unsung genius made this “mistake” so as to mislead the leftists as to the magnitude of the requisite Franken factor.

    “Oh, sorry, did I say 200? I meant 7000. My bad. Say, you don’t look so good..you feeling OK?”

  2. Republican win??? That’d be like a piece of dropped toast landing butter side up.

  3. I detest Obama-voting Althouse.
    She just stinks of one of those once cute girls in academia that never has to live with the consequences of any of their decisions or actions, and always thinks they are the hottest stuff on the block.
    .
    @Occam’s Beard: That is exactly what I thought too.

  4. Fingers crossed. Maybe some more air is let out of the thug union balloon.

    A further example of a Pub winning a close election would be Florida in 2000. I voted third party that year, so I didn’t have a dog in that hunt. The Democratic Party antics during the recount, from Al Gore on down, disgusted me. How many times should one recount? When the Democratic Party controlled machinery in a given county set the rules for vote counting, it seemed dishonest to me to suddenly change the rules. After the Florida recount I concluded that it wasn’t enough to simply not vote Democratic. It was necessary to vote for the candidate that had the strongest possibility of defeating the Democrats.

  5. If it holds, as Jonah Goldberg would say,

    Schadenfreudtastic! (Isn’t English the coolest language?)

  6. Fifteen FRANKENunits. Delightful term. Let’s make it go viral.

    This, I admit, is one sweet development. The Dims will be screaming Fraud! because if they’d found over 7300 votes after the fact, it would be, and they judge everyone else by their own lousy standards.

    I didn’t know Althouse had voted for The Boyfriend. Has she issued an apology yet? She sure doesn’t seem to be on his team nowadays.

  7. I suspect the Unions will try redoubling their efforts in the coming elections. They have certainly nothing to lose but their rich, entitled, privileged asses. They never had much shame or class to start so what’s to miss?

  8. I don’t have any use for Althouse either. Her blogging during the protests was kinda useful, but I still can’t get past the fact she voted for Obama, despite all her current efforts at atonement. It’s partially because of geniuses like her we’re stuck in this mess.

  9. Access. Excel. Election night procedures. Let’s stop and get this right to help stop the misinterpretations.
    No votes were found; no votes were created. Votes from one district simply were not added to the total. It was either a save keystroke failure or an import file keystroke failure. It’s all in the press conference, though the reporters asking the questions do not seem to understand Access and Excel or official counts and unofficial counts very well.

    the announcement to the press that night is always an informal total. There is always a “proofreading” after that point. This omission would have been found even if the Clerk herself who worked the computer had not found it.

    After the report to the press, the clerk then looked and saw an entire district missing, something that had been obscured to her mind before by the incredibly high total that night.
    the clerk and her (democrat) associate always do a review after the informal report to the press.
    her (democrat ) associate completely confirmed that this county was simply not uploaded into the totals.

    this has NOTHING to do with computerized voting machines or manufacturing votes.

    if there way ANYTHING intentional (of which there is no evidence) it was to withhold legitimate votes to present them after the loser made a victory speech and after the other side which MIGHT HAVE BEEN manufacturing votes had manufactured enough to squeek by in the INCOMPLETE total. but there is no evidence that either the Dems were manufacturing votes or that the Reps were intentionally withholding legitimate votes.

  10. MT,

    I believe that such was Occam’s original point.

    Furthermore, even if these votes had been tallied properly during the initial count, it still would have put Prosser far beyond any ability to manipulate the election with “created” votes. It may not be tough for an organized body to invent that many votes, but it must be incredibly difficult to disperse tso many a way to avoid documenting election rigging.

  11. 1. This puts Prosser up by 15 Franken Units.

    And Kloppenburg has hired Franken’s recount lawyer.

    2. If they try to eliminate Prosser’s lead via the courts, the question will arise of how a WI judge can be removed from the bench. Hopefully it won’t come to that.

    3. Having taken public funding for his campaign, Prosser is accepting donations for the recount effort.

    4. I trust the Right will not be as complacent during the recount as they were during most of the campaign.
