forget about the fiasco in the GQP stronghold of Waukesha County back when Walker was governor-elect. Good old Kathy Nickolaus was county clerk and in charge of elections. A controversial 2011 Supreme Court race involved a GQP hack with a notorious temper and foul mouth who as a side-note was later accused of physically attacking a female justice. The initial results showed that he lost to the woman running against him who had been an assistant AG for the state. Two days after the election she held a news conference and claimed she had "found" over 14,000 votes and now the GQP candidate was way ahead. Turns out this was also not her first time of being "useful" in shenanigans during elections. Such as when the county found out she had removed all of the election counting/processing/tallying software from the county computer system and had transferred it all to a single PC in her office that only she had access to. Gee I wonder why someone might do that? She claimed the "found" votes were because she had forgotten to hit "save" while running Microsoft software. She had no explanation when it was pointed out to her that the software she was using does Auto-save all by itself. Why would anybody possibly trust a county clerk who had a sketchy past when working in the State Legislature and for the GQP? Millions of dollars in political corruption but she got to skate by turning into a witness and getting immunity for her actions. Throughout it all good old Kathy received no criticism at all from the GQP leaders and the hack leading their current boondoggle witchhunt.
