A slip of paper is the “deep throat” of the Supreme Court Election Fraud

It is peculiar how the smallest, most innocent, observation can become the “straw that breaks the camel’s back”.

Barb With was volunteering as an observer at the Waukesha recount when she made a glaring discovery. The poll tape that was being counted and matched for votes cast in the April 5 election for Supreme Court Justice was dated March 30, 2011. When she brought the suspicious date to the attention of election officials, they could not come up with any reason for the mis-dated poll tape.

Weeks later Barb appeared before the Assembly Committee for Election and Campaign Reform. This is a portion of her testimony:

An observer of the Waukesha County recount noticed such a small, innocent piece of paper that was spit out of a voting machine in Pewaukee. It was a poll tape from a voting machine on which is recorded your vote. But what caught her eye was the date at the top of the tape: 03-30-2011 or March 30. That was six days before the Supreme Court election of April 5!

I recall the face book messages in the group Election Integrity as she communicated the finding to the group. “Get a picture!”, and she did.

Probably a test?
Ok. You must admit this is well…..suspicious. Her first inquiries about what it was, what it was doing there, and how it came to be in the official recount material, was met with the response, “It was probably a test.” I guess this goes along with the “human error” defense of all that is Waukesha, but look the time stamp on the tape Mary spotted was: 01:40 a.m.!

I know there are dedicated election officials out there, but who would run a test of a voting machine in those wee hours of the morning? Can you imagine the scenario? A person leans over to his/her mate and says: “Honey, I can’t sleep. I’m going down to the Court house and do a quick test of the voting machines”.

No such machine in Pewaukee

The other explanation for the poll tape was something like, “There were no electronic votes cast in Pewaukee,” Response? “Oh. Ok. My mistake. I must not be seeing a poll tape from a voting machine that clearly says, “Pewaukee”. “I must change my medication.” Come on. If there are no such machines in Pewaukee, how did such a poll tape record materialize?

Trying to bury the photos

The people in the Election Integrity group have posted and shared the photos with friends, newspapers, and media and have found something fishy. The links and posts have been deleted from postings or reported to the face book admin as being “inappropriate”. Is someone pulling a “Scott Walker stealing all the papers from his College election” action? There seems to be an attempt to keep the photos out of view and the story hushed.

When this story was first shared on face book – 3:15 p.m. May 26 it was blocked.

Another Unanswered Question

To date, no one has come up with a plausible explanation for the poll tape that appeared during the recount process in Waukesha, not even the Government Accounting Board GAB (That is BAG backwards!) See GAB Behind the Curtain post.

So why hasn’t the GAB demonstrated some concern in the highly irregular March Poll tapes findings? It turns out that any questions about the integrity of the Wisconsin electronic voting system strikes deep into the heart and history of GAB Director Kevin Kennedy. Jim Mueller has been looking at the integrity of Wisconsin elections for many years, and had this to say about GAB’s Kevin Kennedy. “The fear is that these companies throw money around is such a way that we do not know that people who are in positions of trust have been compromised. Since the Accenture deal occurred, I haven’t felt good about Kennedy’s performance” The Accenture Deal Article By Mike McCabe November 26, 2004 Can you believe it? They want to privatize our highways, our university, our museums and now our elections. Egad! Kevin Kennedy, executive director of the state of Wisconsin’s Elections Board, signed a contract with a multi-national calling itself Accenture (it was part of Enron-tainted Arthur Anderson) to create “a total management package to run our elections.” Hello? See Bill Lueders’ column in Isthmus for the full, disturbing story, and then ask, What in the world is wrong with Kevin Kennedy?/

No public hearings were held on the outsourcing of our elections to a company–one that is based in Bermuda to avoid taxes in this country. When I called the Elections Board on Wednesday, I was told that it is, in essence, too late to complain because the contract has been signed. Really? Is it too late to fire Kennedy, appoint a new board, and cancel the contract? I don’t think so. Call the elections Board and demand that they cancel this contract. Believe it or not Mr. Kennedy, the citizens of Wisconsin are quite capable of managing our own elections. Kennedy’s Vested Interest Kennedy has a long history of chummy ties with the Accenture and Electronic Voting Systems. He pitched the system to the legislature. Do you really think he is going to be fair and impartial in answering questions about poll tapes?

The Brad blog has been investigating elections in the country for years, and this is what Brad has to say about the pesky poll tape.

“Worse, if the results printed on the poll tapes are the ultimate proof of the accuracy of results, what happens when — as discovered among poll tapes from the City of Pewaukee in Waukesha County late last week — the “recount” uncovers “Official Results Report” poll tapes dated a full seven days before the actual election was held?’

Prosser was the certified winner of the Supreme Court election and cast a deciding vote on the decision to end collective bargaining rights for workers and families in Wisconsin.

He was certified as the winner before evidence from the recall was published.

5) The GAB has not explained why it gave Kathy Nickolalus “special software” to tabulate the Waukesha County vote.

The information for this post has come through intensive hard work and investigation by the people of the Election Integrity Group, many of whom have been advocating for fair “every vote gets counted ONCE” elections in Wisconsin for years.

Look at the Wisconsin SC Recount BALLOT / POLL TAPE Anomalies

A permanent, online web cache of photo stills revealing just *some* of the GLARING and ALARMING ballot “irregularities” recently seen during the STATE WIDE (VIRTUAL) HAND RECOUNT of the SUPREME COURT ELECTION, held on April 5th, 2011. The following was recently compiled through the collective efforts and shared documentation from many wonderful citizen observers from all over the Great Badger State of WI. The Election Integrity community commends them for all their diligence, tenacity and hard work, and thanks them for the important contribution it’s lending to *all* American Voters. This kind of real time photographic documentation of evidence in real time is, to our knowledge completely unprecedented. EI can use all the Facebook love we can muster…thanks!

The WI Citizens for Election Protecion will deliver a petition to the Government Accountability Board to demand a hand-count of the upcoming recall election votes. It is the Board’s current policy to dissuade clerks for counting ballots by hand. Help protect your vote.

Please sign petition link

Please share this. Please demand an independent investigation of the GAB and Kathy Nickolaus. Another election is right around the corner, just waiting to be stolen.

Meet Your Playful Self

It is much easier to learn an improv game by seeing it than by reading the structure in words. A teacher in Texas has put together a great demonstration of different improve games. Once you veiw the one below you can find the host of others.

Use the improv icebreaker called Movement Evolution to focus on listening and repeating. Learn the improv comedy icebreaker Movement Evolution in this free theater acting video from a teacher of improvisation.

Expert: Shana Merlin
Bio: Shana Merlin carries more than 1000 hours of teaching under her belt, and is one of the most experienced and effective improv teachers in Central Texas.

Here is an excerpt from the book “Meet Your Playful Self” that talks about what is going on as people play the games and exercises.

What is the unexpected result of this exercise that ALWAYS happens? When people push themselves out of the safety zone and begin to screw up, everyone will laugh. This will happen. Yet, unless someone points this out, no one will even notice it. In my early days of doing this work I missed it too.
I have watched the mood of the group lighten into laughter as people misspeak, and then asked; did anyone notice what just happened? Most often people will not have noticed their reaction to each other’s screw ups. When it is pointed out I ask, why is that happening? Why do we find our mistakes funny? What changed? What is going on?
Isn’t this reaction the same as the example used to define improvisation in the introduction of the book? This definition of an improvised moment is also reinforced on home video shows. Isn’t this what happens in all the “most funny videos”? A bride catches her dress on a nail and is left walking down the church aisle suddenly quite naked.
Yes. When we screw up playing zip, zap, zoop by saying or doing something outside the rules or expectations, we find the screw up is funny, just as we do when the bride catches her dress on a nail. So, we not only discovered, but actually experienced improvisation, didn’t we? In the workshop we are not left naked in our undees in a church but we are left naked with our screw up as we tried to accomplish a simple exercise. We have moved into the world of the unexpected, we have moved outside of the established rules, we have moved into this uncharted, intuitive, playful place.
After pointing out how the group has found this humor in each other’s missteps, and how the reaction would have gone unnoticed unless someone called attention to it, I ask another question. Before asking it, I tell the group not to answer the question out loud but just to formulate an answer for themselves. How do you feel now, compared to the way you felt when you first entered the room? Of course, you may guess the answer. When we stumble into the intuitive and reach our playful self we feel lighter, more relaxed, and open.

Here is a voice that resonated with Meeting Your Playful Self at Improvisation for Everyone. Sound familiar? Visit the site to see the videos demonstrating exercises and tools for improvising that can improv and improve your life.

My Two Cents – an excerpt from the book Meet Your Playful Self. The readiness is all So, yes…and…is not only an early exercise in the pathways to an intuitive place and creation of an improvised scene, but a metaphor for the work itself. Meeting your playful self is exercising your inner impulse, responding in immediacy or moving into the intuitive. This playful new place is at odds with the logic of your life and the piece-by-piece structure of your identity so carefully built over the course of a life time. Is it surprising that you should feel some resistance in going there? Why would you want to leap into a place that has little to offer to all you have built so logically? A good answer is: because your playful self IS playful – that is the very reason why you want to take the leap. You find release and move away from your logical identity and into a place that is free of the editor. You experience a rush of freedom as you shift away from the judgments and constructs which narrow your point of view and deny your acceptance of what is happening right now. We listen to an observation statement and reject the editor, and say yes… and… then fill it in with playful words. In the process we discover that we have a fullness and possibility far greater than we have created with the editor of pure logic. We learn that the leap is not easy, the resistance is tough as old gum, but we are ready to say yes…and… We are ready to peek into …what? – inner impulse, responding in immediacy and our playful self. We have run up to play – with ball in hand.

The video below is from U Tube. It is one of those that showed up on the strip line that crops up after watching a selected video. It is people sharing “how they feel” after a hour and a half improvisation class. I don’t really know when or where, but I know that the feelings and reactions are typical to people who have experienced a good session of improvisational play.

Meet Your Playful Self

Pronunciation: \ˈvəl-n(ə-)rə-bəl, ˈvəl-nər-bəl\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin vulnerabilis, from Latin vulnerare to wound, from vulner-, vulnus wound; probably akin to Latin vellere to pluck, Greek oulē wound
Date: 1605*
________

from Merriam Webster online dictionary

1 : capable of being physically or emotionally wounded
2 : open to attack or damage : assailable
3 : liable to increased penalties but entitled to increased bonuses after winning a game in contract bridge.

This overlay of two presidents speaking in public is a spring board to suggest how vulnerability attracts us at listeners, warms our heart, and allows us to smile and laugh more easily Regardless of politics, red/blue, black/white – which of the two presidents is a more vulnerable human being? Which one would be “more easily wounded”? – “open to attack”? What does this have to do with improvisation, comedy, or how we present who we are to others?

The videos below feature to very funny people who carry a real vulnerability in every nuance, each move, and by their very presence.

Do you see it? Suggest other comedians you find vulnerable and I will try to include them in future posts about Comedy and Vulnerability.
