2. For those who can't

get to the link, let me cut and paste the rest, because it is IMPORTANT.

Sheboygan County now admits (on the same source link above) that it’s reducing its vote totals because “Absentee Ballots run through tabulator twice on Election Day in error.” Vernon County is now admitting that it accidentally counted nineteen extra votes for third party candidate Gary Johnson, and as he only got 447 votes in the county to begin with, it means his vote total was overstated by nearly five percent.

Meanwhile, Washburn County admits that the vote total for Jill Stein “should have been 11 instead of 1.” And then there’s Shawano County, which is now having to admit that its “Original election results were inadvertently entered as recount results.” Some of these counties don’t even appear to be competent enough to do a recount, let alone be trusted to have gotten it right the first time.

None of the above embarrassing and sloppy errors will close the current twenty-thousand-plus vote lead which Donald Trump currently holds in the state. If a wildly incorrect vote total is hiding anywhere it’s Waukesha County, which Donald Trump supposedly won by a whopping 66,320 votes but is refusing to do a recount – and now the Stein campaign claims that county officials are illegally hiding the ballots from designated election observers. Stein would do well to go back to the judge who ordered the recount and petition him to order Waukesha to do a hand recount.
