Thielen: As Prosser Wins, the Dems Get the Blame for Wisconsin

RNLA Executive Director Michael Thielen penned an op-ed appearing on Pajamas Media Saturday, explaining how Democrats are responsible for the current chaos surrounding Wisconsin’s April 5^th judicial election.

Thielen explained,

Wisconsin Democrats could have joined with Republicans to ensure that elections are more open, fair, and honest, but Democrats opposed transparency and favored systems that encourage fraud like “Same Day Registration,” which employs tactics like vouching for votes. This encourages incompetence, making record keeping difficult and committing fraud easy. If Democrats had worked with Republicans to reform the system, then the April 5 Supreme Court election would have undoubtedly been over on election night.

The election ended with a slim 204-vote margin in favor of the liberal-leaning Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General, JoAnne Kloppenburg; however, the canvas revealed that due to human error, Waukesha County officials had failed to report the results from the City of Brookfield.  Recognition of this error gave conservative incumbent Justice Dave Prosser the lead by nearly 8,000 votes.  The canvas ended this past Friday with Prosser in the lead by 7,316 votes.  Kloppenburg must decide by Wednesday whether or not she will request a recount.  The largest vote turnaround in the history of the Badger State was a mere 489 votes; thus, the question is now whether Kloppenburg will choose to waste the time, money and resources of Wisconsin taxpayers and request a futile recount.
