The voters of Wisconsin have spoken.<\/p>\n

Even after two months of gnashing and thrashing and sniveling, The People of Wisconsin have reaffirmed <\/em>last November’s results.<\/p>\n

After the media and left (pardon my redundancy) all but declared it a Kloppenberg victory and referendum on Walker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And it just goes to show the media – just because liberals swarm in Madison <\/em>doesn’t mean an entire state has drunk the koolaid.<\/p>\n

You’ve heard the news: corrected tallies\u00a0put Prosser on top after a 7,500-vote swing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the Democrats are upset. \u00a0It’s almost folklore; only Democrats benefit from mysterious and opaque swings in votes<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Kloppenburg supporters reacted with alarm, pointing out that Nickolaus had worked in the Assembly Republican caucus during the time that Prosser, a former Republican lawmaker, served as the Assembly speaker and that Nickolaus also had faced questions about her handling of elections as clerk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the liberal world, a public servant’s <\/em>work in public service <\/em>is “experience” for Democrats, and “evidence” against Republicans.<\/p>\n

And show me a public servant that hasn’t “faced questions”.<\/p>\n

“Wisconsin voters as well as the Kloppenburg (campaign) deserve a full explanation of how and why these 14,000 votes from an entire city were missed. To that end, we will be filing open records requests for all relevant documentation related to the reporting of election results in Waukesha County, as well as to the discovery and reporting of the errors announced by the county,” Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, Ms. Mulliken!<\/p>\n

And while you’re at it, let’s get answers about all the irregularities in Hennepin County!<\/p>\n

Oh, wait…<\/p>\n

Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) raised the possibility of an independent investigation over the recovery of the votes.<\/p>\n

“This is a serious breach of election procedure,” he said. “We’re going to look further. She waited 24 hours to work this. And she waited until after she verified the results, making it that much more difficult to challenge and verify the results.”<\/p>\n

‘We went over everything’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suppose Wisconsin Voters should be happy Barca didn’t make his announcement from a hotel in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Of course, not every Wisconsin Dem is chanting the party line. \u00a0I’m adding some emphasis:<\/p>\n

But at the news conference with Nickolaus, Ramona Kitzinger, the Democrat <\/em>on the Waukesha County Board of Canvassers, said: “We went over everything and made sure all the numbers jibed up and they did. Those numbers jibed up, and we’re satisfied they’re correct.”<\/p>\n

As a Democrat<\/em>, she said, “I’m not going to stand here and tell you something that’s not true.”<\/p>\n

Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas, who sat in on Nickolaus’ news conference, said voters can be confident in the results because “all the votes are in that office. If anyone wants to look at them and verify, they can.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
