Sorry Kids! Gab Transposed some numbers in the Washburn county in the Town of Stone Creek


As of 5:45 pm on Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 2,512 Reporting Units have reported results, which have been reviewed by G.A.B. staff. That is approximately 69 percent of the of the 3,602 total Reporting Units..

So far, counties have recounted 960,269 votes, which is approximately 64 percent of the original votes cast in the State Supreme Court race.


In the vote on April 5th, 1,498,880 votes were cast. Prosser received 752,323 while Kloppenburg received 745,007, giving Prosser a lead of 7316 votes.

As of this posting aprox. 538,611 votes have yet to be included in the recount.

Of the 1,498,880 votes cast 1,550 were disallowed.

Here are the current numbers

Prosser---Kloppenburg---Total votes for both Prosser and Kloppenburg
501,272--------457,917--------------------960,269
Loss ------------ Gain --------------------- Gain
+240 ---------- +210-------------------- +309

1080 votes have been disallowed, an additional 297 votes to date.

Kloppenburg has gained 408 Votes. Diminishing Prosser's lead to 7'136 votes.

About 45 of 194 counties have reported in from Waukesha.

But the bulk of Milwaukee has yet to report as well as large portion of Dane.


Kloppenburg may pull this off yet. This race has new life!


Here's to hopin'

:bounce:


As an FYI

The state along with the candidates agreed that municipalities using the Op-tech Eagle Op-scan are to be hand counted. The scanner dates to 1995 or so and uses a proprietary memory cartridge. The Wisconsin state statutes would normally require a machine recount dictating that the memory cartridges not be erased.

Since the memory cartridges are no longer manufactured and enough replacements are not available, it was agreed upon to do a hand recount in the wards that use these machines. This includes most if not all of Waukesha county, most of Dane county, and the city of Milwaukee among others. For election fraud people it's a rare opportunity to see a manual recount like this taking place.

The candidates could technically request a hand recount of the remaining portion of the state.... IF there is justification.

5. Thank you for keeping us informed...

Many thanks... I have succeeded in getting my children to follow Rachel Maddow on twitter... but, as 30 yr old Canadians, they have no realization of depths of deceit that the Repubs and therefore probably the Conservatives in Canada are capable of..

8. "1550 votes were disallowed". What causes a vote to be disallowed?

9. UPDATE: Sorry Kids! GAB had Stone Lake in the County of Washburns numbers Transposed

Found the Mistake but didn't get a chance to update all the numbers before the editing time expired. I should have figured earlier when Prosser had a negative number.

5/3/11 WASHBURN, TOWN OF STONE LAKE Ward 1

For Prosser they had 1 vote instead of 101
For Kloppenburg they had 101 instead of 84.
And they had 84 for the scatter.

New numbers

Prosser---Kloppenburg---Total votes for both Prosser and Kloppenburg
501,272--------457,917--------------------960,269
Gain ------------ Gain --------------------- Gain
+240 ---------- +420-------------------- +309

1080 votes have been disallowed, an additional 297 votes to date.

Kloppenburg has gained 180 Votes. Diminishing Prosser's lead to 7'136 votes.

11. tick... tock... tick... tock...

:freak:

[Maraya1969]

12. Does that include or exclude the 7,000 or so votes that Prosser picked up when that woman "found"

them?

[demwing]

13. So help me undertsand - how is this good news ?

64% complete, and Kloppenburg is only up 180 votes?

I guess I don't see how a win is possible. What am I missing?

[progressoid]

14. Yeah, I don't see it either.

Unless some great discovery is made, this will just fine-tune the numbers and the win still goes to Prosser.
