Democrat's New Trick: Let's Disenfranchise Cloistered Nuns

Apparently, it wasn't good enough for Democrats to disenfranchise over seas military personnel, now the Democrats are now going to disenfranchise cloistered nuns who don't speak, by not allowing their votes to count in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race.
From Charlie Sykes: Charlie-
In Sauk County, there’s a convent, Valley of our Lady Monastery that is inhabited by 18 Cistercian nuns. 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.
It is my understanding that the canvasing board may have “seen the light” and was going to possibly review the decision once again this morning. I have not heard if they’ve reversed the decision.
This is why Kloppenburg’s goons justify a million dollar (plus) recount…to make sure the votes of nuns are counted. http://www.620wtmj.com/shows/charliesykes/121260274.html?blog=y

Seriously, disenfranchising cloistered nuns? The Democrats are proud of this? This is what the Democrats pin their hopes on?
I hope there is a Democrat in Wisconsin that has enough common sense to tell the Kloppenberg side that enough is enough and that the Democrats are looking like a bunch of pathetic and desperate fools.
What's next for the Dem's? Really, I don't think the Dem's can't sink much lower than this but they will find a way to sink lower. After all, they are Democrats. Who would of thought the Democrats would go after cloistered nuns?

No one in the sane world.
