Democrats Throw Out Cistercian Nuns’ Ballots in Wisconsin Recount

Democrats threw out the ballots cast by a group of Cistercian nuns in Wisconsin.

The Badger Catholic reported:

In Sauk County, there’s a convent, Valley of our Lady Monastery that is inhabited by 18 Cistercian nuns.[They are good nuns btw] These nuns take a vow of silence, with their main occupation being the making the communion wafers. I am not making this up, the website couldn’t be better: http://www.nunocist.org/page2.html. The majority of these nuns stay at the Monastery their entire life…living the simplest of simple lives.

Every election the Town of Sumpter Clerk, Donna Ziegler, drops off 18 ballots so the nuns can vote. She later picks them up, prior to the election in a single, large, sealed envelope—not opening the large envelope prior to the election.

This year, she opened the large enveloped and removed the ballots…counted them, and included them as part of the total 24 absentee ballots for the town.

Fast forward to the recount….last Friday it was discovered that the absentee ballots cast by the nuns didn’t include witness signatures…and no one noticed prior to the election. The Kloppenburg team argued that the ballots should be thrown out—never mind that the GAB has never enforced lack of witness signature as grounds for throwing out a ballot with any regularity—and was successful.

Yesterday, the canvas board reconsidered—bringing in the Town Clerk (Ziegler) to discuss the situation, and she very passionately objected to the dismissal—stating she knows these women, trusts them and has always handled the nun’s absentee ballots the same way. Again, the canvas board after a long and somewhat contentious conversation voted to reject the ballots—at the insistence of the Kloppenburg attorney.

They were forced to “draw down” among the 24 absentee ballots, and Prosser lost 14 while Klopp lost 4.

What nasty pettiness. Ziegler certainly had more guts than the canvas board.

Remember when recounts were about divining “voter intent”? Remember “Let every vote count and count every vote”?

He voted all Democrat but left off a vote for president? Naturally, he must have MEANT to vote for Gore and just forgot. We’ll fix that, no problem. A vote for Pat Buchanan in a retirement village? Has to be a vote for Gore. Damn those confusing ballots!

I guess ballots from nuns are like military votes from overseas: they must be disqualified by any means possible!

I hope some of you Democrat managers are reading this.

This story perfectly illustrates why the Democrat party can never be trusted with anything of lasting value.

They will deny anything and fabricate anything in their blind lust for power, for power is their sole focus. Morals, virtues, honor and decency mean nothing except in service to their false god of power.

You should hope to suffer in this world, because if you don’t, there will be hell to pay in the next.

See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Luke 11:35

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Pray for America and her leaders.

Best regards, Peter Warner.

I wonder what catholics think of this? If those votes were for Kloppenburg, they would not have been questioned at all.

And the DNC wants felons and illegals to vote.

If the rule of law is now ONLY for the little people, perhaps it is time for these good nuns to start to pray for “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Dems are vultures, that’s what they are, vultures all of them..

praying twice as hard for their barren souls..

you must’ve missed the elections. the muslims have already taken over. the MSNBC televised head chopping of infidels down at the town square usually won’t begin until they get into a comfortable majority.until then, prepare for the death by a thousand cuts from your elected government.

Remember how sure she was of victory with a 200 vote lead, but now she wants a recount because 7000 is uncertain.

She’s hoping for a box of missing votes to materialize from a trunk…

It would be nice to have an update on this recount, some sort of overview.

If the rats are stealing votes from nuns, there’s just no telling what else is going on.

This is Pathetic. And should be broadcast all over the US! They need to stoop this low?

Yet they object to voter ID?

The left hates the Catholic vote as well as those of the Military and will do everything and anything to steal an election.

Hispanics wake up before you are enslaved by the DemocRATS the way the Black voter is. . .

I wonder how long the list of disqualifications is that these dembastards are targetting? Can they turn a 7,300 vote victory by Prosser into a loss? How long will this drag out? And with each disqualification, I predict a mounting outrage. I see pitchforks and torches coming.

These verminous lawyers with the sewer dim-rat clients would fight equally hard to EN franchise illegal aliens if it served their purpose. Somewhere there is a light pole waiting for this maggot representing Kloppenberg. All that remains is to connect the two. Actually, it is my understanding there are thousands such in the greater DC area and I would happily contribute to the Sisal Foundation for a Cleaner America.

I live in Wisconsin, not too far from where the Brookfield fiasco happened. The only thing the media is saying is that the Waukesha/Brookfield re-count will not be completed on time and may need to file an extension. Seems strange as Milwaukee county which is the biggest will finish their re-count early. I wouldn’t put anything past the Dumbo-rats but all indications are Prosser will remain the winner.

FarRight, I agree. The law is the law. I think the reason people are upset is that there’s so obviously a double standard. Plus we all have had to endure Democrats stealing elections.

I wonder if they are using the checklists for throwing out Military ballots too, the ones that they used in Florida. This isn’t about a fair recount, this is about lawyering an election.

There are only two kinds of Leftists – Evil or Ignorant.

These are the same people who scream a blue rage about “disenfranchising” minorities if you require showing ID or registering before election day. But throwing out ballots of nuns and soldiers because they probably voted the “wrong way”? No problem!

When a democrat says “Every vote must be counted”, they really mean is “Every vote for a democrat should be counted, ignoring the rest.”
Democrats are hypocrites.

They actually threw out 18 random ballots, so it could be that they thew out a ballot that had been properly casted. Since the margin of victory will be greater than the number of votes at issue here, this issue will be overlooked, but they handled this wrong. Once they put the votes in a pile and no longer can trace them to whose is whose, then all votes should count.
