Everything the Sha' Guy said is true. It's one thing vote for either side, it's another thing to sign the petition which is made public. It is not partisan but it is a show of support for a way of dealing with a budget gap. I don't believe in taxing more or laying off workers to fill a gap created by government spending more than they have. I'm confident most will agree with that, the ideology is…   more ›

County Clerk Glides Through First Election Night, Just One Minor Hiccup

Kathleen Novack's first countywide election went smoothly, but then again this is Waukesha County. City of New Berlin provided inaccurate totals in the State Supreme Court election – however it did not alter overall election night outcome.

Waukesha County Clerk Kathleen Novack coasted through her first countywide election Tuesday with final results being reported shortly after 10 p.m. in the low-turnout election. However, this is Waukesha County, and seemingly every election has its twists and turns.  Results from communities throughout Waukesha County started coming in shortly after 8 p.m., which helped make for a quick reporting turnaround. “We are thrilled by that,” Novack said while waiting for the very last units to report Tuesday night. However, it was revelead Wednesday morning that the City of New Berlin provided inaccurate totals in the State Supreme Court election – however it does not alter the overall election night outcome. Novack provided the following …

How Did Waukesha Vote in 2008?

While Waukesha had a majority vote for John McCain in 2008, the Republican lead was stronger in 2004.

If recent history is any indication, Waukesha will carry Gov. Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama in today's election. Four years ago, John McCain and Sarah Palin took 53.3 percent of the vote while the Obama-Joe Biden campaign took 45.5 percent. The McCain/Palin ticket fared better in the Town of Waukesha with 65.7 percent of the vote. While the Obama/McCain race was close in 2008, the election in 2004 showed a greater lean toward the Republican government. That year, President George Bush and running mate Dick Cheney received 21,349 votes in the City of Waukesha to the 13,923 votes cast for Democratic candidates John Kerry and John Edwards.

The good news is that in 2012, Waukesha is way more motivated than ever before to elect Romney/ Ryan, and remove the failure Obama.   more ›
