Well, theoretically, you could have created your own Access interface that operates on a transactional basis, such that clicking on a "Save" button would complete the transaction, but that would require a fair amount of work and more know-how than this woman appears to have.

She might try that, but the data should still be recoverable, given enough motivation.

Ramona, go read the link to once upon a paradigm. There's no such thing as a save...

Access has never, in all it’s versions over the years needed a user to press a save button. When entering data in a form or a tabular view, the record that has the focus, if it is changed, upon navigation to the next record, the one previous is automatically saved.

Her statement was worded so as to convince people who have no clue about programing, let alone using a simple database, a human mistake was the sole reason for the miss count. In fact, from what I read, it sounds as if she purposefully created a stand-aslone system exactly for the purpose of a miss count...kinda like paying back Democrats for all those illegal voters who turn up at the polls for elections.

There's more to the story, if the Wisconsion GOPer's are willing to throw one of their own under the bus.

Seems there are some issues

Seems there are some issues about the way in which the lost ballots were brought out.

Here's an interesting tidbit to chew on ...

In addition, as Jessica Arp from the local CBS affiliate in Madison reports, Kennedy told reporters Friday afternoon that that GAB was not informed by Waukesha about the problem until Thursday, before Nickolaus's press conference. Had the GAB known about it Wednesday -- when Nickolaus says she first discovered the matter -- Kennedy said they would have gone to the county in order to oversee the canvass, and let the press and campaigns know about it at that time.

Sounds like someone wasn't following the rules so as not to raise doubts by the public the vote count was fair and impartial.

And IMHO, I wonder why? I would think such a gross miss count, a computer inputting error resulting in the omission of 14,000-plus votes, should have been referred to a higher authority to give the public confidence no one was stuffing ballots after the fact. As it now stands, Prosser may have enough votes to stifle an automatic recount which shutdowns any questioning or investigation. And since the entire state is controlled by the GOPers, I have serious doubts they're gonna look into the matter unless they're forced to and there's no one capable of doing that.

Wow, that battery story is

Wow, that battery story is hilarious. How petty! If even half of what they say about her is true, she's a formidable enemy. Still, from what I've read today it looks like no matter what she might have tried to do, there's some legitimacy to the reasons for the miscount. Wish it weren't so.

Wow, very interesting. Given my experience in computer forensics, if she's guilty of shenanigans (and I don't find that hypothesis outrageous), I strongly suspect she'll be found out, barring some "accidental" fire in her office.
