Surprise in Wisconsin Judge Election!

[Avorysuds]

Yeah because when you beat someone by 30 pts. 2 months ago, and then squeak by in the general, that's a sign you won the argument in between?

funny

Hey don't cry at the messenger its was the voter's who repudiated the Union's attempt at hostage taking.

It doesn't surprise me that you entirely missed the point. This was a little known person who has never served as a judge almost unseated a well known sitting Supreme Court Justice.

I would say that this does not bode well for the Republican Senators and Walker when the recall finally takes place. They have to be shitting all over themselves about now.

You couldn't predict your way out of a box, why would anyone other than the fringe hate filled bigoted left listen to you?

I've heard a theory that this was done on purpose by republicans to make sure that democrats couldn't manufacture votes to make things even.

The only comment I have for that theory and this thread in general is that if this kind of error continues to happen, every state's election procedure needs a vast overhaul. Seriously...errors like these are DANGEROUS!

"Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus (R) has announced sharply amended totals for her county in the Supreme Court race from Tuesday night -- saying that she had inadvertently failed to properly import and save data into a Microsoft Access database, omitting the numbers from the city of Brookfield and its over 14,000 votes.

There's that word again.

If Al Franken and his car trunk of votes, and Mark Dayton with more voting discrepancies than the margin of victory were 'fairly elected in clean elections'... so's this.

You said it, quishy!

Stuff like this has got to stop:

"As in Minnesota this year, the Republican candidate kept winning and winning, but the Democrats refused to concede, instead demanding endless recounts. Meanwhile, Democratic precincts kept "discovering" new ballots for the Democrat, Chris Gregoire.

Six days after the election on Nov. 10, 2004, Republican Dino Rossi was ahead by 3,492 votes. But five days later, heavily Democratic King County election officials actually claimed to "find" 10,000 uncounted ballots! And they favored Gregoire!

Nonetheless, after a full recount, Rossi was still ahead, but this time by only 42 votes.

So the Democrats demanded a third recount -- and King County continued its miraculous ballot-"finding" trick, which continued to favor Gregoire."

Wisconsin Supreme Court reinstates Walker’s collective bargaining law


The court found a committee of lawmakers was not subject to the state’s open meetings law, and so did not violate that law when they hastily approved the measure and made it possible for the Senate to take it up. In doing so, the Supreme Court overruled a Dane County judge who had struck down the legislation, ending one challenge to the law even as new challenges are likely to emerge.

The majority opinion was by Justices Michael Gableman, David Prosser, Patience Roggensack and Annette Ziegler. The other three justices – Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson and Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and N. Patrick Crooks – concurred in part and dissented in part…

Legislative leaders had said they would have inserted the limits on collective bargaining into the state budget late Tuesday if the court hadn’t acted by then. But the high court ruled just before that budget debate was to begin…

In its decision, the state’s high court concluded that “choices about what laws represent wise public policy for the state of Wisconsin are not within the constitutional purview of the courts.”

Hark! Do I hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth?

The tide is turning ladies and gentlemen. The breach in the damn of socialism is not plugged casually.

I find it very interesting lately that the Milwaukee Urinal-Testicle which for decades has been ravening leftwing has been surprisingly conservative on this subject. A friend in Madison has stated flatly the leftists there are going out of their freaking minds that they're reporting their defeats with an even hand and popping their aneurysms over the fact they aren't helping in the drumbeat to defeat this law on the trumped up false premises that they've been frantically assembling.
