78. I was there and read it 4 years ago. The melodrama and silly rumors were bad enough in real time.

My favorite was a ridiculous rumor that one of the poorly sealed bags from one ward in Delafield had TEN-THOUSAND ballots in it during the recount.

There were about 350 in that bag from Delafield and the total population is ~ 7100.

Those are the "facts" the internet gives you. I'll work with the real facts, not the melodramatic bullshit spread around the internets, TYVM.
