Anybody who suspects widespread fraud in Wisconsin’s election returns isn’t going to find it in La Crosse County.

That’s the word from county clerk Ginny Dankmeyer, who completed the canvass of last week’s election in less than four hours on Monday.

A recount of the state’s presidential votes would have to wait until after all 72 counties have finished the official election canvass, and they have until November 17th to complete the job.

Dankmeyer says she’s keeping the ballots handy in case a presidential recount is ordered in Wisconsin.
