"The reason I offer this explanation is that, with the enormous amount of attention this has received over the weekend, many people are offering my statements at the press conference that the 'numbers jibed' as validation they are correct and I can vouch for their accuracy.
"As I told Kathy when I was called into the room I am 80 years old and I dont understand anything about computers. I dont know where the numbers Kathy was showing me ultimately came from, but they seemed to add up.
"I am still very, very confused about why the canvass was finalized before I was informed of the Brookfield error and it wasnt even until the press conference was happening that I learned it was this enormous mistake that could swing the whole election.
"I was never shown anything that would verify Kathys statement about the missing vote, and with how events unfolded and people citing me as an authority on this now, I feel like I must speak up."http://menomoneefalls.patch.com/articles/democratic-member-of-board-of-canvassers-county-clerk-failed-to-tell-us-of-her-mistake#video-5620493
