John Doe – Subpoenas hit, homes tossed

New investigations of Scott Walker and friends

New probe investigating illegal actions, including campaign violations during the Senate and Governor’s recall elections.

John Doe investigations have been the most consistent and on-going news from the Administration of Scott Walker. The original John Doe investigation began as Walker took office and continued for over two years.

John Doe rises again like a bad penny that has been stuck in the vending machine of political flimflam only to be found in the coin-return slot still bearing the date of its mint. Kelly Rindfleisch was sentenced on November 19th, 2012 to six months in jail and three years of probation for her role in rising Walker to power.

Kelly keeled, Walker walked, and all the lawyers talked and talked. Now, here we go again with John Doe Act 2, and at a most inopportune time for the “Walker who walked” as he is up for re-election next November, and his name is included in conversation as a presidential candidate in 2016.

Not one day. Not one hour of Scott Walker has been free of a John Doe investigation. The timeline of shadiness began in his County Executive’s office with a secret email network and has continued through the shady Wisconsin Sportsmen Grant that was buried in the most recent state budget.

“Unintimidated” – the book “Unindicted” – the reality

Just as Walker’s hard bound campaign brochure “Unintimidated” is due to be officially released, yet another, wave of John Doe subpoenas and searches have been active across the State of Wisconsin. Unfortunately, this is nothing new. Even before Walker’s recall election the silent and secret sleuth, John Doe, was known to be searching and tossing apartments of Walker’s friends and associates. Now, this time, it seems the Feds may be involved.

The Wall Street Journal is painting this as a further witch hunt against conservative groups and contend that “Americans learned in the IRS political targeting scandal that government enforcement power can be used to stifle political speech.” The article (quoted below) suggests that new and active John Doe investigation in Wisconsin may be a further federal action against conservative groups. To the Journal, it appears to retribution for Governor Scott Walker’s union reforms.

Free Speech?

Subpoenas hit allies of Scott Walker as his re-election campaign loom
Wall Street Journal Updated Nov. 15, 2013

In recent weeks, special prosecutor Francis Schmitz has hit dozens of conservative groups with subpoenas demanding documents related to the 2011 and 2012 campaigns to recall Governor Walker and state legislative leaders.

Copies of two subpoenas we’ve seen demand “all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications” both internally and between the subpoena target and some 29 conservative groups, including Wisconsin and national nonprofits, political vendors and party committees. The groups include the League of American Voters, Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Americans for Prosperity—Wisconsin, American Crossroads, the Republican Governors Association, Friends of Scott Walker and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

The actions of the some conservative groups mentioned above have broken the law in documented cases during the days preceding the Senate recall elections in Wisconsin, when Americans for Prosperity mailed out election information that was false, and would lead to the disenfranchisement of voters.

The Republican County Clerks in several counties were documented as displaying false voter ID information on official web sites stating that a voter ID would be required to vote in the Senate recall and the Walker recall election even though the requirement was nullified by a court injunction.

Republican County Clerks in several Wisconsin counties are known to have sent election materials out of state illegally. Cartridges holding the electronic record of the Walker recall vote were returned to the vendor “Command Central” days before they were to be held secure by state law.

Wisconsin activists have felt helpless against money and organization of many of the “conservative groups” listed in the subpena, and
sought federal intervention into allegations of election fraud in Wisconsin dating back to the day Kathy Nickolaus “found” 14,000 votes after the 2011 Spring Supreme Court Election.

Please do not dismiss the investigations into the broken laws and consistent dismissal of such frequent displays of incompetency on the part of county clerks as a witch hunt. The groups listed in the subpena were not exercising their rights of free speech by intentionally and illegally misinforming voters. County clerks must be held accountable for misinformation posted on web sites that could very well have mislead and disenfranchised voters.

Coincidence and incompetence may be a reasonable defense in a limited number of cases, but most investigators do not believe in coincidence. The new widespread investigation of the well healed conservative groups that have invaded Wisconsin since the days before the 2010 election, is a long time in coming.

The suggestion that these groups are being singled out and being deprived of their right of free speech, only serves to demonstrate how little the Wall Street Journal knows of what has been happening on the ground in Wisconsin for the past three years. The people who read the false information on web sites and received deceptive mailings from Americans for Prosperity – are the victims. People who discovered how election materials that were to be kept secure after the June 5 election had already been sent back – are the victims. Documented proof is held that demonstrates that the people of Wisconsin were deprived of their right to vote, and the Wall Street Journal hopes to defend the perpetrators?

Is an Election Coming Up?

The Spring Election will be held Tuesday, April 2, 2013

State offices to be elected include Superintendent of Public Instruction, Supreme Court Justice, Court of Appeals and Circuit Court.

The Supreme Court Election is Non-patisan – Ha ha!

Just like the sequester battle. Just like the mining bill. Just like the refusal to accept federal dollars for Badger Care. This is another non-partisan issue.

This is the first Supreme Court election since…

Kathy Nicholaus “found” the 14,000 votes and put choking Prosser back on the bench.

This is the first State election since

Walker refused federal health care funds.
The state John Doe probe announces it will not prosecute Walker.
The GOP legislature lines up to pass the mining bill.

12 Days till the Nightmare: "WHO WON?"

Prediction – You are about to witness the revelation of a disaster

Never in American history have more people been more aware that computers called vote machines can be hacked and manipulated to flip votes. The learning curve at play has bent slowly over the past decade, but the arc has continued to bend toward truth and transparency Harper’s Magazine broke a cover story by Victoria Collier with just two words on the cover “How to Rig an Election”. The line of books at the right have all been published in the recent past. Each book, including the “Harper’s” article, all have one thing in common WISCONSIN! (The picture right features the October “Harper’s” edition) Wisconsin serves the country All of the authors of the publications on the right have found a home for discussion, and planning strategies in Wisconsin through a half dozen face book groups that have cropped up since the Spring Supreme Court election of 2011 when Kathy Nicholaus “found” the 14,000 votes to change the election results two days after the election. It is through the work of hundreds of people who contributed to the conversation about the huge problems with vote machines and how bureaucratic hand sitting has allowed a few private corporations to continue to steal votes and flip elections, that the learning curve has been bent toward truth and transparency. Big SECRET will hit the fan. Be prepared! This election appears to be close enough for election fraud to have effect with polls showing leads within the margin of error. The skeletons of secrecy are about to come out of the closet to be paraded by the awakened election integrity activists across the jumbo TV screens of the media who have ignored the most blatant vulnerability in the history of Democracy. FACT: The computer systems called vote machines that count the vast majority of ballots in the U.S.A. are supplied by a few private corporations. These few corporate entities write the programming for these machines with no real oversight of any independent government agency, elected official. No one outside the secret sanctum of the corporation is allowed to see the programming code used to count your vote.

Election Crimes Go Unpunished – INDICT SPROUL!

Nathan Sproul, the name behind the recent vote fraud complaints in Florida, should have been jailed long ago

A crook who got his start with the Christian Coalition.

Nathan Sproul is a businessman who rose rapidly in Arizona politics, heading the local Christian Coalition and the state Republican Party in his mid-20s. A series of voter-fraud allegationsagainst him in 2004 did not slow his ascent: Sproul and firms linked to him have been paid $21.2 million by the Republican Party, its candidates and affiliated interest groups over the past nine years. Washington Post

Why does Sproul do it? Why does he continue to get away with it? Cause he can!

The Republican National Committee had no fear of the election laws when they hired Nathan Sproul and knew full well of his lurid past. The RNC knew he was the same guy accused of registration shredding and a long line of similar fraudulent election activities. Did that hold them back or make them the least bit wary? No. They only told him to create another false front, “so as to not be a distraction from the false information put out in the Internet,” this by Sproul’s own admission. This points to the real problem. There is little to lose in bending or breaking election law since, in most cases, it is not prosecuted, and if it is, the sentencing lacks the kind of sting that might be a deterrent to the crime. Sproul has been ticketed for multiple DUI’s and is still given the keys!

With an election fraud infraction sheet as long as Sproul’s, why is he not behind bars?

Law enforcement and the courts do not prosecute the violation of election laws with serious penalties or sentences.
(Nathan Stroul pictured above hunkering in Northwest Wisconsin)

Case in Point County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus

The people of Wisconsin witnessed legal denial of a problem or a crime in a case of election fraud that captured national attention, when Kathy Nickolaus “discovered” 14,000 vote two days after the Spring Supreme Court election. As a result, the election was won by the GOP incumbent David Prosser. Not only did Nickolaus “find” the votes, but it was discovered during a recount that the bags containing the vote were ripped, torn, and even duct tapped! The election records tracking the votes were not numbered accurately and were even changed and photo copied! What’s more a poll tape that was dated two days before the election was certified and counted! What action did the courts take? None. Nothing. Nickolaus’ transgressions were bundled into an unfortunate mistake bag and dismissed as an unfortunate “anomoly”. She was not jailed or fined. She was not even removed from her office as county clerk, and remains in that position to this day. If this level of incompetence is simply dismissed and cleared of any element of intentional fraud, what is to prevent her or other election officials from engaging in the same vote threatening behavior. They can just say, “It was all a mistake”, “I had no idea”.

This leads us right back to Nathan Sproul and his long history of bending and breaking election laws for over a decade. He is the Ever Ready Rabbit of fraud – he just keeps going, and going, and going. Why? Because he has escaped prosecution and penalty. He should be in jail.

Sproul – Spruill 2004
(His name is spelled Spruill in the ariticle. I don’t know if he changed it, just as he has changed the names of his vote suppressing organizations.)

And then there is Nathan Spruill, former head of the Arizona Republican Party. He, too, now in the vote registering business and a serial denial of whistleblowers, who not only accuse him of slamming voters into the Republican Party but also claim he has torn up Democratic registrations in Oregon, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Real registrations of real voters. Real Americans who thought they were registered, and may very well have been denied their right to vote in the real elections of 2004. Democratic National Committee

From December 2009 through March 2010

The California Republican Party paid Sproul’s Grassroots Outreach, LLC nearly $675,000 for “voter registration services”. Guess which Christian operated a Grassroots Outreach Program in Arizona?

Who is Grassroots Outreach, LLC? The California Corporations database indicates that Grassroots Outreach, LLC: established in California on June 11, 2008 via a third-party registration agent, C T Corporation System. C T Corporation System is also the agent for legal process. The registered address is 1232 Q St., Sacramento, CA 95811. The third-party registrant leaves the true ownership in question, but follow along with me anyway. Nathan Sproul, a Republican political operative with a long and storied history of voter suppression and voter fraud accusations, has an Arizona company called Sproul Grassroots Mobilization, LLC. The mailing address is 80 E Rio Salado Pkwy #814, Tempe, AZ. On June 18, 2009 the Golden State Voter Registration Project paid $50,000 to Grassroots Outreach, LLC. The address on the check was 80 E. Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 814, Tempe, AZ 85281, and the stated purpose for the payment was “voter registration services.” The reported mailing address is Nathan Sproul’s office, and the registered address for Sproul Grassroots Mobilization, LLC Source Watch

Grassroots from Nathan Sproul’ website – Lincoln Strategy Group – AKA Florida – Strategic Allied Consulting

Here is the way that Sproul would describe his illegal action in Florida:

GRASSROOTS From managing national “Get Out The Vote” campaigns to organizing issue advocacy messages through thousands of volunteer contacts, Lincoln Strategy Group uses grassroots efforts to successfully achieve results. We will work with you to clearly identify a winning message and then build the right network to get the job done. Sproul Lincoln Strategy

Want to know what happened in Wisconsin in 2010 to elect Walker and Ron Johnson?

Crook/Christian Sproul is also tied to Club for Growth. The Club for Growth is aptly named since it invaded the state with covert and fraudulent actions to promote and implement a cancer deep within the body politic.

Club for Growth is a right-wing political group that endorses and raises money for candidates. According to a February 22, 2011 article by John Nichols in The Nation, the Club for Growth is “an organization funded by extremely wealthy conservatives to carry out their budget-stripping goals,” and that “has been a key player in Republican Governor Scott Walker’s move to take out the state’s organized workers.” Nichols writes that the Club for Growth is part of a “national strategy” to get “newly elected Republican governors” to destroy labor and unions. R.J. Johnson, who served as a political strategist for Walker’s campaign, is a key adviser to the Club for Growth. Johnson has refused to disclose where the Club for Growth gets its funding. The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune in a February 26, 2011 editorial described the Club for Growth as an “ultra-rich special interest itself.” As of September 13th, 2012, OpenSecrets estimates that Club for Growth has spent $13 million influencing federal elections. Wisconsin was on Stroul’s list for the same crimes as Florida The Club for Growth planted the tumor of Stroul into Wisconsin, before the disease was discovered in Florida. The photo is a scan of the deadly disease of fraud in the form Michelle Malkin (above left), Citizens in Charge President (for life, self-appointed) Paul Jacob (above center) and Joe the Wurtzelbacher Not-Licensed-as-a-Plumber from 2009?s (above left) “Sammies” Awards put on by the Sam Adams Alliance, and its President/CEO/Chairman (for life, self-appointed) Eric O’Keefe, who happens to be a founding member of both Citizens In Charge, and the Club for Growth, not to mention Club for Growth, Wisconsin Vote Suppression is Real

Now we’ve arrived at the dreary liaison of Money, Power, and Election Fraud

Yes. Club for Growth, RJ Johnson, and Rance Preibus had already cut the check for Stroul to suppress the vote in Wisconsin by cleaning the vote roles of Democratic voters. What’s worse is that the action will be ignored and dismissed by law enforcement, the courts, and the press. Yet, at the same time, police will ticket ordinary citizens for holding up a sign in the State Capitol! Do you see how power corrupts absolutely? Citizens get tickets for minor and invented rules, while Stroul has been out there stealing votes from citizens for decades. He disenfranchised thousands of voters. He was caught. Yet, he has remained unpunished and prosecuted. Why? A citizen holding a sign in the state capital is a greater threat than a man who has committed thousands of infractions of election law in the past decade?
(R.J. Johnson pictured in lower jail with a remarkable resemblance to Al Capone picture in the jail with Kathy Nickolaus above right)

Why is this man out walking around?

If Stroul were to show up at the Wisconsin Capitol and hold up a sign he would be ticketed. Yet, even though he has been caught breaking election laws in multiple states over the last decade, he has gone completely unpunished. Why? Do we treasure the marble of the capitol more than we honor our vote? Any politician would say, “No”. Yet, actions speak thousands of decibels louder than words. Law enforcement and the courts have allowed the Sproul’s and Kathy Nickolaus’ of the world to break laws with little more than a slap on the hand, thus creating a culture of permissiveness when it comes to the hard line of enforcing election laws, allowing the powerful and wealthy a clear and slanted playing field when it comes to a citizens most basic right. Where is the deterrent to breaking election laws when the most blatant perpetrators are out walking around?

The laws are on the books – why? Why? WHY? are they not enforced and prosecuted?

The Evolution of Walkergate – 2 Abandoning Ship!

The Trial of Kelly Rindfeisch October 15

The last of the the long line of obstructions, pleas, and motions to delay the trial of Kelly Rindfeicsh is finally over. Walker is on the list of witnesses.

The John Doe investigation has gone on since he took office over 18 long months ago, and many of the hot new stories that broke over all those months have cooled, so now might be a good time to revisit some of the major breaks in the investigation so as to make clear the whole scope of malfeasance that falls beneath the label of John Doe. This is about a lot more than a secret email network stuck in a closet in the Milwaukee County Executive’s Office.

Yes. This is about much more.

2 Abandoning Ship!

January 2010 – March 2011

The most ineffectual leader in the State’s History

Regardless of the specific legislative actions he has championed, the speeches he has delivered, or the means he has employed to further his fringe conservative agenda – He is not a leader, he is not “Wisconsin”, he has perpetrated a universally destructive psychological civil war that brings out the very worst in all of us. All of us. Republican, Democrat, Tea party, Union – like a debilitating psycho-political cancer he has left no cell of our social identity unscathed.

Like a cancer, the deep consciousness of humanity has been infected so that good cells of all political identities have divided and multiplied to virulently attack one another, to leave the whole state stricken immobile, flat on its back with the IV tube of investigations, partisan law suites, and never ending protests trickling through our veins with hope to keep us alive.

But, the cancer is movement for control “period”. The early signs of infection; the enlarged tumor of massive demonstration, the radiation treatment of recall elections, the on-going exploratory surgery of investigations looking for John Doe – are all causes of the need to gain control the organism with the effect of ending the attack on the human heart and the life of the victim.

The tragedy is that the function of our Democracy – our constitution, courts, and statutes that define our government – is flat on its back, struggling for life. Our government is hospitalized and dysfunctional fighting this internal disease at a time when we need it the most. And we monitor the vital signs, and we call John Doe and say, “You better come”.

We are tired as we sit silent at the bedside, our eyes meet occasionally in glances that say, “We need a miracle”.

Wink, 59, announces her resignation

Darlene Wink, constituent services coordinator for County Executive Scott Walker. Using a pseudonym, Wink posts about 70 comments on Journal Sentinel blogs and stories since the previous October – most of them praising her boss, touting his gubernatorial bid or ripping his two opponents, Democratic Mayor Tom Barrett and ex-U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann, a Republican. The vast majority of these are done while she is on the clock for the taxpayers and the county. Wink’s payroll records are requested to determine whether she is doing political work on county time. /td>

EXIT Tom Nardelli state Division of Environmental and Regulatory Services

Tom Nardelli abruptly quits his state job with Gov. Scott Walker in late July, pulling the plug on his $90,000-a-year position just days after accepting the post. His resignation ends more than 3½ years of close association with Walker, including three years as his chief of staff when Walker was Milwaukee County executive. Nardelli speaks of the reason for his resignation by saying he is leaving the post as administrator because he decided it would be unfair to keep the job knowing he planned to resign soon anyway. “I was toying with leaving at the end of September,” he said. He picks the exit date because it is the 100th anniversary of another state division Nardelli led – Safety and Buildings. He held that job for the first six months of Walker’s tenure as governor.

Aug. 28, 2011

EXIT Cindy Archer, 52, leaves her position as the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Administration.

After Cindy Archer’s near East side Madison apartment is ransacked by law enforcement including the FBI, she resigns her office. She had held the job, which paid $124,000 per year, for eight months. A top official in Gov. Scott Walker’s administration confirms this week she is taking a leave of absence. Read the full story in the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel Walker’s long time associates from high paying and powerful positions leave the audience in a hush of suspicion as to their true motives. Their flimsy explanations seem a thin veil for some deeper more pressing cause for abandoning ship.

THREE Separate Investigations On Going in Wisconsin

In any former administration it was news if a single investigation was active to dig at the truth behind suspicious elections, campaigning, or legislative maneuvering. In the Walker administration it is common that two or three such investigations are proceeding at any given time. Below are the investigative activities that were active in his first year of office, and it has not changed.

On going investigation of Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus was initiated last Spring to question her methods and integrity in tabulating the vote in the Spring Supreme Court Election.

On going investigation by a Milwaukee County prosecutor who is examining allegations that abortion opponents and unions offered rewards for volunteers who signed up sympathetic voters in Wisconsin’s high-stakes Senate recall elections.

On going John Doe investigation since last November examining illegal fund raising, campaigning on the job on taxpayer’s timers, and pay to play rewards to campaign contributors.

What is the common denominator in this cancer of corruption that has sent District Attorneys, lawyers and the FBI crisscrossing the State, raiding homes, and confiscating computer hard drives of the most protected and powerful operatives in our State?

Three Books About Vote Stealing Crooks

Florida 2000

Many people in the country and world were riveted to the news events following the recount of the 2000 Presidential vote in Florida which resulted in the most controversial ruling of the Supreme Court. Bush v. Gore, is the United States Supreme Court decision that effectively resolved the dispute surrounding the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush.

The hanging chads and lost votes became the stuff of late night TV jokes and stabs and reduced the integrity of our elections to be no better, and perhaps, even much worse than those in third world countries.

Ohio 2004

Just when we were assured that the advent of electronic voting machines had solved the problem there came 2004 and indisputable evidence in Ohio. The election had been stolen. In fact, Kerry won Ohio, and this time, the election had been stolen by the same electronic machines that were to be the fail-safe to Bush’s 2000 stolen election.

No Longer a Conspiracy Theory

The peculiar nature of election integrity is that it only reaches the threshold of notice periodically, after an election cycle, much like a person who suffers an ailment like acne or gout a victim really doesn’t think about it much when it is not flaring up and exhibiting painful symptoms. This peculiar periodic nature of election integrity allows it to go dormant and remain untreated like a malignant cancer. The nature of most humans is to grease the squeaky wheel and busy themselves with the million other things like raising children and making living, during the times when the wheel turns freely.

As the masses of people lose focus on the hidden malignancy, it is left in the hands of the investigative media to break the news, but as the whole landscape of news reporting has shifted from two or three venue sources to hundreds and thousands, the dormant election integrity issues have been left at the bottom of the stack of newsworthy projects. It seems the most expedient way to treat these pesky election machine problems has been to dismiss them as conspiracy theories shared by a few attention seeking activists who have nothing better to do than pour over spread sheets of election results.

The Historic Wisconsin Election Research Lab

I don’t know what it is about the people of Wisconsin in that they have brewed up many of the most controversial movements of the past two centuries such as the rise of the Progressive Movement of Fighting Bob La Follette and the witch hunt of Joe McCarthy.

Well, Wisconsin has done it again. Probably because of the historical number of state wide elections in the past 18 months, the acne, the gout, the cancer of election fraud has exhibited its oozy symptoms repeatedly beginning with the Supreme Court election in the Spring of 2011 and ending with the June 5 Recall election of 2012. Wisconsin has become the focal point for the research, recount, and resurgence to expose the unexplainable anomalies and breakdowns in all of these elections with document after document of statistically impossible vote totals, mis-dated poll tapes – split, ripped and torn vote bags, and a hundred other gout throbbing, pimple pushing, tumor raising symptoms of a dying or dead vote tabulation system.

What’s in it for You?

You now can be privy to all the dreaded cancer that is choking your freedom, without having to drive the hundreds of miles to a recount or audit, without blinding yourself while pouring over pages and pages of vote tabulation spread sheets, without issuing a open records request to your county clerk and hiring a legal team to enforce it. You need do none of this. Whew!

All of the major findings of all this long and involved work are presented to you in three books. I have spent well over $300 in gas alone to drive to audits, recounts, and open records meetings with county clerks. You can own all three important works for under $60!

Here They Are! Such a Deal!

Proving Election Fraud

The Pesky Poll Tape

This video below has been view 3,103 times, and is now referred to by election integrity folks in Wisconsin as “that old poll tape video”. It speaks for itself as to a question that was never answered. A poll tape was found in the Spring Supreme Court election recount that was dated days BEFORE the election…and was counted!

The testimony is from Barb With, author of the book: “Steal This Book, Not My Vote”.

What's good for the boss is good for the AG – "N-O"

What is it about “no” that Attorney General Van Hollen doesn’t understand?

On one camera in one studio we have humble Tommy Thompson telling reporters that he is not going to release his taxes. No, he was not really telling them, he was daring them to ever ask that question again. He had made up his mind like a 5-year-old who will not share his candy stash, and blasted inquiring reporters with the rasping order of a bartender yelling “Last call!”.

Meanwhile on another camera in another studio we have Van Hollen, Tommy’s co-campaign chairman, asking the question about why the State Supreme Court cannot double up on the two lower court injunctions of the voter ID law, and pass it, like quick, before – yes before – the Presidential Election.

Oh Please just answer the question by playing the tape of his boss’s voice. “The question is, is the Court going to reverse the Voter Id Injunction? The answer is no. No,” they say. “The answer is N-O. What part don’t you understand?”

The questions surrounding the voter ID law remain as partisan and strident as they were when the law was passed in the days of the Republican controlled Senate. Nothing has changed. The argument is whether voter fraud has been proven to be the kind of problem that warrants the risk of disenfranchising voters, many of whom are people of color and the elderly. But, to make a plea to suddenly push the law down people’s throats with only weeks to adjust, increases the threat of disenfranchisement by leaps, since those without ID would have so little time to react. NO, Van Holen. What is it you don’t understand?

But that ain’t all. “You don’t ask for mercy when you’re still on the stand”.- Leanard Cohen

It seems Van Hollen’s slippery, situation is the stuff songs are made of.

We go from Leonard Cohen right into Jimmy Buffett’s “Wasting away…” Song? Sing it with me. ∫∫ “Wasted away again in Kathynicklolausville. Searching for my lost kicker of votes.”

Van Hollen was elected to his current position as a result of the same Kathy Nicholaus reproductive math that gave Prosser the Supreme Court election! Yep. Van Holen is in office because the fuzzy vote count in Waukesha.

The “found vote” in the Waukesha Court election brought back all those memories of the close vote that made Van Hollen Attorney General rather like a nightmare.

The Akin therory is TRUE For Vote Machines – NOT WOMEN

The Akin Remark

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

More than a hundred media stories will justifiably hammer at the Senate Candidate for his outrageous and misinformed remark and debate whether he will be allowed to remain on the GOP ticket in Missouri where even the Tea Party is calling for his departure from the race.

So, kindly forgive the piggy-backing of this post to a hot topic. The only defense I offer is that stories about vote machines seldom make a bleep on the radar of public awareness, and although the Akin remark in context is despicable, I could not help but offer a opportunistic slant on his remarks when it comes to voting machines:

When voting machines are raped, they have a tendency to try to shut the whole thing down.

The Akin remark hurts since it harkens back to a time of denial regarding rape when a patriarchal society failed to grasp the deep personal violence of the act or the frequency at which such violence occurred. This is were we are today when it comes to the counting of our vote by secret programming and I have framed the Akin remark to suggest that today’s America is in the same period of denial regarding elections that is was in regarding women’s rights years ago.

In keeping with the outrageous and sexually oriented context of Akin’s remark, let us pose another question:

Can machines have conjugal relationships and replicate? Evidence in Wisconsin suggests they can…and have!

The picture at the right shows Wisconsin Attorney General Van Holen centered on the machine of choice in most Wisconsin precincts including the County of Waukesha, the infamous home of County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus. – The Sequoia Edge voting machine. Read Nickolaus – Jurors Have You Reached a Verict?

Van Holen is now asking the court to “speed up” the rule on the Voter ID Law: “My action today, now allowed under the Court’s rules of procedure, gives the Wisconsin Supreme Court another opportunity to bring prompt, clear resolution to the law and settle this matter in advance of the November elections. Badger Democracy

This same voting machine may have self replicating DNA programing which is activated from the right side of the brain of election officials.

Evidence suggests that the result is the creation of a whole new entity that reflects the insidious nature of the parent product. More alarming, the nature of the new entity works in direct opposition to the Walker pronouncement, “The bottom line is we are trying to balance our budget and there really is no room to negotiate on that because we’re broke”. The new entity works in direct opposition to the Governor’s goal. It mindlessly drains money directly from the tax payers of Wisconsin to keep itself alive. The tax dollars of a “broke” State are its food which it devours at an increasingly alarming rate.

The New Replicated Entity

As demonstrated below, the new entity can be charted along the same chemical chain as Viagra, the drug causing an erection in males.

At the top of the chain are the Sequoia voting machines components of Waukesha County Clerk, Kathy Nickolaus and Attorney General Van Holen.

The surprising reaction is demonstrated on the next levels with the replication of Raymond Taffora and Steve Means who are both off-spring of the Van Holen Department of Justice. They show up in the chain as links to the Michael Best Law Firm which is the final voracious eater of Wisconsin tax payer dollars. “So far, the state has paid Michael Best $96,200 for the ongoing work on several cases, with $197,900 in outstanding invoices.”

Where Does the Money Go…and Why?

The Capitol battles over union bargaining and political redistricting proposals have paid off for one group: politically connected GOP lawyers. The Troupis Law Office and the firm of Michael Best & Friedrich, with partners who included Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, have received special counsel contracts from Walker paying up to $300 an hour along with legislative contracts worth up to $395 an hour.

Signing the contract for Michael Best was the firm’s Raymond Taffora, who until January was serving at the Department of Justice as the top deputy to Van Hollen. Taffora also served as the chief legal counsel to then-GOP Gov. Tommy Thompson.

Steve Means, executive assistant at the agency, said of the decision to recommend outside counsel ,”we were stretched very thin. We have a limited number of lawyers here, none of our other responsibilities went away and we were faced with a new amount of litigation that was high profile and important to the state,”

Unlike, Viagra which is designed to lose it’s erectile effect in four hours, this tax-dollar-eating entity has the half life of a lawyer in search of higher fees.

So what are the chances of being caught when rigging an election?

Remember that corporations that are the venders that supply all the machines, programing, and tabulation for any given election have no oversight in that nobody has access or has examined the programing used by these venders to count your vote. Not the Government Accountability Board, not the legislature, not the court – NOBODY. Do you think this might increase the chances of manipulation on the dark side and getting away with it? Republicans, Democrats, Independents, all have an equal chance if they have the dark operative and the money. Human nature and the cheats of past history from Bernie Madoff to Plunkitt of Tammany Hall tell us this is not good. This is the accident waiting to happen or is it happening now?

On a scale of 1 to 10 with “1” being “no election fraud” and “10” being “Obvious election fraud” – where do you stand? Your response might also be charted on the “Grieving Chart” below.

The Steps of Grieving for the loss of voice in Democracy

Stage 1: Denial Stage 2: Bargaining Stage 3: Anger Stage 4: Despair Stage 5: Acceptance

The majority of people remain at “stage 1”. Unfortunately this includes most people in the media, the government (Democrat – Independent – Republican), and most voters. A growing number of people who have looked at exit poll research, the history and development of electronic vote machines, and anomalies in our elections in the past decade are at “stage 3”.

For myself, I have teetered between “stage 3” and “stage 4” and hope and pray that I will never slide to “stage 5”.

Stolen Recall Election – Destroy the Evidence

Is it surprising that first person who is anxious to destroy the ballots is Kathy Nickolaus?

The June 5 Recall Election results were “hinky” from the beginning. Now, Kathy Nickolaus threatens to burn the Waukesha County ballots on Monday. TOMORROW!

UPDATE

THANKS TO ALL – It Worked – Nothing is being destroyed today

Rally to stop Waukesha County from destroying ballots!
Date: August 13, 2012 – 11:00am – 1:00pm
Frame Park
701 E. Moreland Blvd.
Waukesha, WI

While many County Clerks have been more than happy to work with us, Waukesha County’s Kathy Nickolaus has illegally denied our open records request to view ballots in the county. Furthermore, just last FRIDAY we learned that she is illegally planning on destroying Waukesha’s ballots as early as THIS Monday at NOON, despite the fact that open records law gives petitioners 60 days to appeal a denial. If the ballot destruction does occur we’ll never know to what extent machine error and/or fraud might have affected election totals in Waukesha! Join us at Frame Park across the way from the Waukesha County government building. There we’ll let Kathy Nickolaus know that Wisconsinites have a RIGHT to view the recall ballots, and that if she goes ahead with the ballot destruction she will be held accountable legally!

A Tale of Three Clerks Hoff, Giesler & Peters

All politics is local. Your Vote is largely in the Hands of One Person

The fate of your vote in any election rests squarely in the hands of your County Clerk and it is through their ability to administer their office by providing accurate information, being open to citizen oversight, and demonstrating knowledge of potential threats to your vote that insure how your choice at the ballot box will be recorded. This is not a given. How well this was demonstrated over the past two years by Waukesha County Clerk, Kathy Nickolaus who developed election software that was kept on her personal computer and ended up costing the county a quarter of a million dollars to correct and replace. Yet, most of us take more time to locate a competent mechanic to change the serpentine belt in our car than we do to evaluate the abilities of our county clerk to count our vote, and just as your mechanic can be good, bad, and ugly, so can your local county clerk.

Today, I want to share my personal contact with three county clerks with the hope that you can take a look at your own county clerk’s performance when it comes to protection of your vote. I live in Crawford County the land of County Clerk Janet Giesler, the neighboring county is Vernon under the rule of Ron Hoff, and we will look at Karen Peters office in Dane County.

We will start with best, by my personal contact, and work down to the “mechanic” who will cost you a bundle and leave you stranded on the road with a flat and blown disposition. So, let’s start to the west and work our way back to the Mississippi River.

Dane County Clerk – Karen Peters

We live in a electronic age so you can get a sneak peak at the organizational skills of a clerk without ever traveling far from home; with a search and click on their web site. Look at Dane County Clerk, Karen Peter’s web site . Pretty impressive and chock full of information from “minutes and agendas” to “how to run for office”. The information is as simple and direct as I found Karen to be when I was part of an election audit of the vote for the recent Recall Election. Karen was open and gracious. She allowed the team of citizens to count ballots with the only stipulation of wearing latex gloves when handling the ballots. Clerk Peters was personable, direct, and was surrounded by a staff of people who seemed to really like working for her. She handled the incursion of the half dozen latex gloved citizens into her office with professional grace and skill. Judging from her willingness to negotiate the rules of the count and her willingness to compromise,Dane County is lucky to have Karen Peters as their county clerk.

Yesterday’s blog post deals with the audit in her office and was published before she had an opportunity to examine or answer to the anomaly. Recall Hand Count suggests a FLIP

Crawford County Clerk – Janet Giesler

Ok, Janet’s web site doesn’t share the sophistication and compartmentalization of the Dane County site, but, after all, the personality of Crawford County is as different and unique compared to Dane as Romney and Mr. Green Jeans. She does share the “(m)eeting Minutes” and there is a clumsy county directory in bill-board font without any live links, but hey, the telephone numbers are there.

I met Janet in the worst of circumstances when she was caught in error in judgment in that she had sent back the memory cards holding the official vote tally of the June 5 Recall Election early – before the time dictated my state statute when they were to be held secure. . I had never met her before, and I learned a lot from her about how to accept a mistake and then do your best to correct it. Here she was, caught between the “rock” of the vote machine vendor Command Central, and the “hard place” of trying to do the right thing. In the end, she got the memory cards returned to the county office, and was willing to hold them under an open records request, even though it would cost taxpayers $12.400. That’s a lot guts in an election year. The request was released and I was left with a deep respect for integrity of a County Clerk who maintained her disposition in a tough situation while trying to reach a compromise. She has my vote.

Vernon County Clerk – Ron Hoff

Ron Hoff is a Kathy Nickolaus just waiting to happen. His web site home page offers little more than his picture (from 10 years ago when he took office) and a legal notice disclaimer. (Some welcome to Vernon County). The information under “Voting Information” is wrong, confusing, and against the law on an official web site:

Do I need to bring identification?

In 2012, you cannot receive a ballot until you have met ID requirements. Photo ID is always required when voting at the polling place and at the Clerk’s Office unless you are a confidential elector.

When one of his constituents delivered an open records request to look at election materials he was told he would be charged $16/hr for staff time and could not touch the materials. When asked for a required document: Chain of Custody of Memory Cards, Clerk Hoff performed a slight of hand and produced a Election Incident Report – the two documents are as different as a dog license and a death certificate. When Clerk Hoff was asked if the memory cards for the June 5 Recall Election had been sent back early, he evaded the question three times. In fact, the memory cards from De Soto HAD been sent back early and he knew it. Rumors are afloat that he is using the clerk office for his upcoming election effort.

The misinformation, treatment of constituents requests, and allegations of misuse of the clerks’s office could end up costing the taxpayers of Vernon County a lot of money. Fortunately there is some joy on the horizon. Joy Conley, who has experience in the clerks office and a good grasp of election integrity issues, is running to replace him. Joy Conley web site

Get to know your county clerk. The safety of your vote depends on it.
