Wisconsin’s Recount Laws Need to be Amended

The dictionary defines cross-check as determining accuracy by checking with various sources. Currently for a recount, we are counting the ballots the identical way they were counted on election night. Clerks are using the same memory card as used on election night. Instead, we should use a different method, and if we come out with the same results, we can be confident of the outcome.

Get a Second Opinion

Another example would be seeking a second opinion when you get a recommendation for major surgery. For the second opinion, you wouldn’t make an appointment with the same doctor, and have him look at the same x-rays and lab results. Instead, you would go across town to another doctor, get a CAT scan, and re-do the lab tests. If you get valid second opinion, and the recommendation is the same, you can have confidence in it.
