"Whoa, wait a tic...where'd these 14,000 votes come from?"

Wasn't that amazing?

The county clerk from one county installed her own software to count ballots, despite a state court ruling she could not. Then she found 14,000 ballots after the election was over.

She refused to allow state election officials access to her software, then when forced to do a recount, asked for weeks of extensions to actually count.

The power is not voting, but counting votes.

She brought them all up from Florida.

I'm curious how a machine count can be that far off, unless it's intensional.  How do you just "find" uncounted ballots?

The recount cost the tax payers over $250,000 because they had to go back and count every vote and match it to a registration signature. 

They should make her pay for it.

It's Tennessee's turn.

To fix public schools, you have to control public schools.

And there's little control when teachers unions, with their self-serving agendas, question every cost-cutting proposal and reform on the table.

That's why so many state governments have taken swift action to limit the power of organized labor in public schools. Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Idaho and Michigan were the first, and Tennessee added itself to the list on Wednesday.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam affixed his signature on House Bill 130 and Senate Bill 113, ending collective bargaining and giving local school boards the full authority to operate their districts in the manner they choose.

They thought it was the Governor and state congress.

They thought it was the Governor and state congress.

And I thought they were doing their best "Westboro Baptist Church" impersonation. I just cannot believe the sheer thoughtlessness of some people.

[guido911]

Has it really come to this in Wisconsin?

[guido911]

Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses Sumi. Law restricting collective bargaining and government not collecting unions dues goes forward.
