Kloppenburg asks for a recount — the Althouse edit of the Meade video.

A tight edit of things I found interesting:



ADDED: Omitted from the video is one passage that I've transcribed using boldface to show something I found very interesting:

An independent investigation needs to occur to get to the bottom of: What the [Waukesha County] clerk did there (when and why); the timing of her various statements and actions, including a one-and-a-half day delay in notifying any responsible party about a county vote total that she knew was incorrect; the absence of any reasonable basis for her explanations; the prior knowledge by conservative bloggers, contrasted with the complete absence of knowledge by the canvass board until the press conference — all of these raise significant questions about the clerk's conduct and her handling of the public trust.

What prior knowledge of conservative bloggers? Does that refer to me? I got a lot of links for saying I could tell there was a mistake in Waukesha county. I got the knowledge the way anyone with access to the internet (and a brain) could have gotten the knowledge. I watched the AP website that was displaying the list of the counties with the precincts reporting and the number of votes reported.

At 11:35, I was annoyed that there were a lot of precincts in Waukesha that hadn't reported. Then at 11:43, I saw that "Waukesha is now shown as completely in, but the numbers didn't change." I guessed that "something may have been misreported."  There was no suspicious back channel to me. I was observing and thinking.

Maybe that's a special conservative way to acquire knowledge. Hmm?

ADDED: I have more to say here.
