and he supported Walker.

Bradblog wrote this yesterday:

"John Washburn of Fair Elections Wisconsin is both a Republican supporter of Walker's in Wisconsin and a Election Integrity colleague. We spoke to him tonight and he too questions the accuracy of the results, though he averred the possibility that Walker's reported victory could be due to a number of tax levies that were removed over the past year, resulting in a smaller tax bill for many Badger State voters in April, just before they then went to the polls in June.

He asks, however, when looking at the much closer Exit Poll results versus the computer-reported tally of ballots: "Why is it that the media simply presume the election results are correct, but that the Exit Polls are not? Why is one set of unverified data more trusted than the other, especially when neither are made publicly verifiable?"

Excellent question, Mr. Washburn.
