4. That's hard to answer

Waukesha's count is being done on the machines that are used in each polling place, not a hand count. Between the feeding of ballots to these machines and the other work that precedes that, at a speed that has been compared to watching paint dry, they are seriously far from being able to finish by the deadline. This is unique among the other counties I've heard about, where work is humming along, including those doing hand counts (which is actually faster than feeding a machine). The whole process is so strange it makes one wonder what they are trying to prove (or hide). That's why we need people there all the time to at least witness and photograph problems with ballot bags, handling of ballots and other materials, and just anything that looks sketchy. There should be other observers there who can help explain what's going on and what to do. The Jill Stein website has information for observers.

Here's the link to watch the live stream (8 am to midnight).
