Prosser's 8,000 votes

Okay, so I was not going to call fraud on this one; but there is some really compelling circumstantial evidence;

An additional 14,000 votes were found in Waukesha county after election day. The computer analyst who made the discovery and is in charge of the county elections is a former employee of David Prosser. She was also part of another election-related scandal back in 2002, where she avoided prosecution by trading her testimony for immunity. She has been criticized for her management of the computer system, apparently she used her personal computer instead of county-owned machines, and refused to let the county IT personal ensure that it was properly backed up and supported. The discovery of the votes was not reported for 29 hours.
This discovery of votes occurred because she claims that the village of Brookfield's data was not saved in the totals, though she 'hit save several times '. This woman has been a data analyst for 12 years.
And, then there is this; the totals from the polling places indicate a huge wave of voters late in the day...
- 24 wards in Brookfield
- 1379 votes for 5 wards
- 276 votes per ward
TOTAL VOTES FOR EACH WARD AT 7:00..... 6,620
- that would mean 7,680 people voted between 7-8!!

I don't know if there was fraud, but if I was looking for someone to commit fraud, This is who I would pick. This warrants an investigation, which has already started. We should at least figure out why so many Waukesha voters can't stop at the polls until 7pm- does no one vote in the morning, during lunch or on their way home from work? What is it with the massive 7pm rush to vote? If people are in line at 8pm, they are allowed to vote, so an extremely long line might explain the odd numbers.

Here is what our Governor said about the discovery of missing ballots;

A recount could begin as soon as next week. “As long as the rules are clear, as long as there aren’t ballots somehow found out of the blue that weren’t counted before, things of that nature, as long as everything’s above board, I think that’s fair,” said Walker.
