80. Breaking WI recall news

Hey, I don't have enough posts. Would someone post this in breaking news?

http://scottwalkerwatch.com/2012/07/13/efforts-to-hand-count-june-5-recall-election-ballots-underway-due-to-evidence-of-faulty-electronic-voting-systems/

The Rock County Clerk’s Office opened its doors to an unusual request Tuesday.

A group of six concerned citizens wanted to cross-check Rock County’s election results of last month’s gubernatorial recall election—by hand.

The group members, who said they were part of the action group Election Fairness, had filed an open records request July 2 with Rock County and Wisconsin’s 71 other counties.

Its members seek to hand-count paper ballots in storage at counties around the state to determine whether results on paper ballots match electronic tabulations that counties used to total votes in the June 5 recall election between Gov. Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, said James Mueller of Cross Plains, the group’s attorney.

Most Wisconsin municipalities rely on electronic voting machines to tally votes from paper ballots. The electronic totals are recorded and added to late-arriving absentee ballots during a post-election canvass.

That’s how counties arrive at official election results that they certify with the state.

But members of Election Fairness say they believe electronic vote tabulation could be a flawed system. The group argues electronic voting machines can misread ballots and lead to mistakes that can skew election results.

There is also fear that voting machines can be tampered with, Mueller said.

Also, does anyone know about these two statements:

FACT: The optical voting machines that do the counting in Wisconsin are actually configured and from Dominion Voting Systems distributors Command Central LLC, which has an office in Waite Park, Minnesota. Specifically, the office address is 110 2nd Street S, Suite 232; Waite Park, MN 56387. What’s very interesting is that Tea Party Queen Michelle Bachmann’s office lists 110 2nd Street S, Suite 232; Waite Park, MN 56387 on her web site. Dominion Voting Systems acquired Premier Election Solutions, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), Diebold and Sequoia Voting Systems.

FACT:The purchase of the optical voting machines were arranged by Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nicklaus was involved like she was with the Supreme Court election between Kloppenburg and Prosser, where she proved she had a special talent to find enough votes for Republicans to win elections over a series of past elections. She was chairwoman of the WCCA Legislation Committee (WCCO Agenda), who met in June 2010 to have ES&S’ Judd Ryan (meeting minutes) discuss the optical voting systems.

Keep the post rolling about Paul Ryan...good one. What a jerk.
