So jamming redistricting down the throats of local communities was a good idea huh? The story below is so unbelievable and messed up, the Republicans will have a hard time blaming this on "uncertainty" or unions.
jsonline: Clerks in the state are scrambling to assign voters to the right districts … with changes to the process putting voters in incorrect locations across town or even across the Atlantic Ocean. The errors affect thousands of voters around the state and stem from different sources, including inaccuracies in U.S. Census Bureau data and problems with a new way of assigning voters to districts in a state database.
You’d think these GOP knuckleheads could have seen this coming:
"We're not only changing and moving districts, we're changing the system beneath it," said Julie Glancey, the Sheboygan County clerk. "We had many, many voters who showed up (on the computer map) on the coast of Africa and we had to drag them back to the state of Wisconsin and put them where they belonged."
OMG! Just another Republican rush job:
They hope to fix the issues by the Feb. 21 election, but if they don't, some voters could wind up at the wrong polling place - or find that they don't appear on the polling list at their correct polling place. In past decades, lawmakers waited for local officials to draw their lines and then built legislative maps along those ward lines. But this time, Republicans who control the Legislature drew the state maps first, using U.S. census blocks. Republicans who control the Legislature acted quickly on the maps at a time when they faced recall elections that could have cost them the Senate majority.
Bottom line; they screwed up redistricting for purely political reasons, the recall. But our favorite incompetent Republicans dummy, who is impossible to fire even after she caused an election meltdown, is sounding more confused than ever:
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said she may ask for help with the work from the accountability board. "I would think we're in the thousands of things we have to check," Nickolaus said.
