In a very strange turn of events in Wisconsin, some 14,000 votes from a suburban Milwaukee county were not properly counted initially in the State Supreme Court election. On Wednesday, Rethug jurist David "Prossertute" Prosser -- a supporter of Rethug Gov. Scott "Too Much Johnnie" Walker and a Koch-sniffing corporate tool -- appeared to have lost to Assistant State Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, which would have meant trouble for Scottie's union-busting initiatives.
Now, thanks to Rethuglican Waukesha County Clerk Kathy "Nick O' Time" Nickolaus, Prossertute holds a 7,500 vote lead over Klopperburg. This isn't the first time Nick O' Time has been in hot water over an election:
"An audit of Nickolaus' handling of the 2010 election found she needed to take steps to improve security and backup procedures, including by not sharing passwords. The audit was requested after the county's director of administration said Nickolaus had been uncooperative with attempts to have county experts review her systems and confirm backups were in place."Nick O' Time also previously worked for a Rethug caucus when Prossertute was Wisconsin Assembly Speaker from 1995 - 1996. She received immunity from prosecution in 2002 during a criminal investigation into activities of the caucus. Good to know that such an upstanding citizen oversees elections.
