1. No, not how you might think. There are not lots of absentee ballots left to be counted.

Fact: Absentee ballots are processed on Election Day by the same election officials who process ballots cast in person.

The municipal clerk, on Election Day, has couriers deliver the absentee ballots to the appropriate polling site. At some point on Election Day, officials follow a specific procedure to count the absentee ballots. In Milwaukee, absentee ballot will be processed in a central location for the entire city.

If the ballot is completed properly, the enveloped is opened, the voter is checked off the registration list as having voted absentee and the ballot is run through the machine – the same as the ballot cast by a voter who is present in the polling place. Wis. Stat. 6.88(3)(a).

2. Walker sez
"The only reason Kloppenburg won is because of the heavier voter turnout."

This guy is a fucking genius! You win an election when more voters vote for you instead of being apathetic couch potatoes who don't give a shit. Or you rig it. Maybe that's why Scotty is confused. The fix was in, yet they lost!

I just watched her on TMJ4 and must say that the questions were some of the most stupid I've heard all day. What if....?

What if an asteroid fell on your head dumbass?

She handled them well and kept to the points. I would have gone off on the clowns!

Good job Badgers!
