Request for records of the City of Mequon

4/6/11, "Wisconsin city caught destroying ballots," Pundit Press, Thomas Ferdousi

"As if the situation in Wisconsin wasn't tense enough, it appears that one county in particular is going to a new extreme. This comes after word that there may have been voter fraud in the nonpartisan State Supreme Court election yesterday between incumbent David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg.

For some reason one of the counties in the state is destroying ballots that 'were not counted' yesterday. Apparently this is a very bizarre and egregious move.

There is now a call for an injunction to preserve the 'discarded' ballots:

I have filed a Wisconsin Open records request with the City of Mequon demanding any ballot submitted but not cast in yesterday's election, including any remnant of a shredded ballot. We
have received reports Mequon poll workers destroyed submitted ballots before poll closing time, demanding a driver’s license number from the absentee voter. This request is unusual and the destruction of ballots is of grave concern, given the closeness of the state Supreme Court election. I will consider seeking an injuction to back up my request if Mequon officials are not cooperative.

This also comes as over 10,000 more ballots were cast for the Supreme Court race in Dane (Madison) than for the County Executive race there.

We're not exactly sure why this is happening, but Mequon is in Ozaukee County... where the vote totals may give us an idea why:

Ozaukee 48/48

Prosser 20,844 72%

Kloppenburg 8,295 28%

This could be the 200 votes that Kloppenburg is currently "leading" by... What the hell is going on?"


============================================

The margin in this election was only 204 votes which pretty much automatically triggers a recount. Wisconsin has 'same day' registration and voting which allows no time to validate voters. A recount would provide time to validate voters and investigate missing ballots. Justice Prosser from what I observed was not prepared for a big campaign, ran out of signs, etc. Recounts require observers and investigations. The Judge has set up a website for donations.

We are all Soros now.
