Reply #4: No one has said that.

People have only been saying that the City of Brookfield's numbers that they transmitted to the county on election night that did not show up on the county print out were an error of omission.

The omission was found on canvassing day and corrected.

No one that I have seen has ever said that ALL of the mistakes that have been made in Waukesha County during OTHER years were honest.

But the April 5, 2011 error was an honest mistake, the totals that Brookfield transmitted have been checked out and found to be correct.

WI Update 4:58 PM - Kennedy: Waukesha County investigation ongoing, but numbers appear to match up

GAB Director Kevin Kennedy says the agency's investigation of spring election procedures in Waukesha County remains ongoing, but that the final canvass numbers in the city of Brookfield match the initial tallies from poll workers on Election Night.

"We don't see, at this point, any criminal activity, but we certainly see practices that need to be changed to bolster public confidence," Kennedy said.

GAB staff is now the process of matching those numbers for all Waukesha County wards after Brookfield ballots were mistakenly left out of Election Night returns from the county clerk. The numbers tentatively turned a razor-thin lead for Supreme Court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg into a margin of more than 7,000 votes in favor of incumbent Justice David Prosser.

Kennedy also said GAB staff is reviewing Election Night practices in the county, saying he hopes to give the public and the press greater access to the county's results and break them down by voting precinct so that the 24 voting wards in Brookfield wouldn't be overlooked in future elections.
