Due to the strategies introduced into this primary, the Democratic Protest slate of Huber and Weix netted drastically different results: Huber, who almost beat Sandy Pasch in the Falls in ’10, received only 18 votes. Weix, on the other hand, won with 2,025 votes.

For the political operatives prepping for June: The subdivisions just east of Marcy and south of Silver Spring where Weix obliterated the two real Democrats, turned out at only 38%, while the Village as a whole hit 47% with parts hitting 53%.

• 10th Assembly District: Shorewood/ North Milwaukee. Elizabeth Coggs is running for Spencer Coggs Senate seat, so her safe Democrat seat is up for grabs. Rep. Sandy Pasch who was redistricted out of the North Shore seat will be running for this 67% African American district. Kristopher Rowe filed to run last October for this seat.
• 22nd Assembly District: Menomonee Falls / Lisbon / Richfield. Incumbent Don Pridemore faces a primary challenge from Nick Oliver . for this ultrasafe Republican seat. Rep. Pridemore successfully retained his seat last year with over 55% of the vote against two primary challengers, so Mr. Oliver has an uphill battle ahead of him for the old 99th.

WISCONSIN NEEDS YOU TO VOLUNTEER TO BE A POLL WORKER NOW!!!

Want to be sure that Wisconsin elections are conducted in a fair, uniform transparent manner according to
Wisconsin laws and the New Photo ID ACT?

Volunteer NOW to become a poll worker. Poll workers are election officials. Poll workers are hired by their

municipality, trained by their local elections clerk, and are paid to perform this civic duty.

The deadline for volunteering to be a poll worker through your County Party Chairman is NOW. To be considered a “first-
choice nominee” your name must be submitted to your municipality by your County Party BY November 30th. Poll workers
chosen will be assigned to conduct elections in 2012-2013—Recalls, Presidential, State and local elections.

If you wish to volunteer as an “independent” you can do that at your municipal clerk’s office prior to November 30th, but
you will not be considered a “first choice nominee.”

Poll workers do it all:
• Poll workers are assigned as Special Voting Deputies to conduct elections in nursing homes and other residential
facilities where the residents cannot get to the polls, so the polls are brought to them. This is a separate poll
worker position and there is a separate list for these volunteers.
• Poll workers can be assigned to conduct absentee voting in the clerk’s office prior to Election Day.
• Poll workers conduct the elections at their polls on Election Day
• Poll workers are assigned to register voters on Election Day—Same-day voter registration.
• Poll workers count absentee ballots and make decisions about those ballots regarding “voter intent”.
• Poll workers count ballots and verify election results after the polls close.

At the registration table, poll workers will be required to verify the citizen’s 28-day residency requirement along with their
proof of residency. Poll workers will be verifying the citizen’s PHOTO ID before they receive a ballot. Poll workers will make
sure the voter signs the poll book before a ballot is given to them. Poll workers help to count the ballots after the polls
close. Help protect the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections!

Elections are “The People’s” process and “The People” play a central role in them by volunteering as poll workers!

Become one of “The People” that makes this all happen.

Become a poll worker–Your Municipality, Your State, Your Country Needs You

NOW!

For more information talk to your county party chair asap.

First: Yes, it is still possible for the Badgers to make the Rose Bowl. However they MUST win out the rest of the year. Minnesota, Illinois, and Penn State all must fall to the U of W.

Second: They must win the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. A bit of a given, but yes, this is still a requirement.

Third: We’ll assume that under condition 1: Wisconsin beats Penn State, and for simplicity assume that Ohio State beats Purdue. Now for the matrix of who will go to the B1G Championship: the key game is the Nov. 19 Penn State vs. Ohio State game.

• If Penn State beats Ohio State on Nov. 19th:
• If Penn beats Nebraska on Nov. 12th = PENN STATE
• If Penn loses Nebraska on Nov. 12th = WISCONSIN
• If Ohio State beats Penn State on Nov. 19th:
• If Ohio beats Michigan on Nov. 26th = OHIO STATE
• If Ohio loses Michigan on Nov. 26th = WISCONSIN

A statewide recount confirmed Prosser’s victory by about 7,000 votes, but it drew unflattering attention to Waukesha County election procedures. The county’s recount lasted longer than any other county and cost nearly $130,000.

Waukesha’s recount was expensive (and lengthy) for several reasons:

1. Kathy Nickolaus recused herself from the canvass board (that would decide the validity of challenged ballots) and the County brought in a retired judge to oversee the process and chair the canvass board. Not sure the cost, but I’m guessing the judge was compensated.
2. In the interest of transparency, the entire recount was livestreamed on the internet so that everyone could watch it.
3. To ensure an accurate record, the County had a Court reporter there for the entire recount to record every comment made by every representative of every side of the recount. (Court reporters aren’t cheap fyi).
4. To ensure that nothing was overlooked, for the first few weeks – while candidate representatives were challenging disputed ballots, the tabulators were prohibited from counting.
5. Every possible issue was examined in length, at detail, and reviewed again. The problem was Waukesha County was overly thorough.
