Certainly explains a lot............

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A county clerk likely violated the law when she failed to report thousands of votes in this spring's tightly contested Wisconsin Supreme Court election, but her conduct wasn't criminal, state investigators said Wednesday.

Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus touched off a firestorm in April when she revealed she hadn't reported 14,000 votes in the race between conservative Justice David Prosser and challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg.

Nicholaus couldn't explain how she failed to report the votes, investigators said, but they concluded she probably loaded a blank template into a reporting database rather than a template that contained the vote totals

Questions swirled about whether Nickolaus, who worked for Prosser when he was a Republican legislator, was trying to stack the election for her former boss.
