SCHOOL LEVY FAILED, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO SECRETARY OF STATE RITCHIE’S WEBSITE #2
By Michael B. Brodkorb | November 7, 2007
Only 20 minutes after I published my post exposing inaccurate elections results posted on Secretary of State Ritchie's official website, Ritchie's website has been changed to reflect the correct results.
Please note the time stamp at which the results were last updated: 11:32:56 AM. The elections results were changed 20 minutes after my post of 11:12 AM exposing the inaccurate results on Ritchie's website.
Incompetent is the best word to describe Secretary of State Ritchie. Here's another way to say incompetent: Brownie Ritchie, you're doing a heckuva job.
Please check back to Minnesota Democrats Exposed for more information on this developing story.

You are fricken hilarious. I am sure SoS staffers are reloading MDE smear pages waiting to find out what they should fix next.
You are a bigger egotist than even I imagined.
Compared to the former failure in the SoS office, it has been proven time and time again that we finally have some competence in the office, now. Lucky for the citizens of Minnesota it was just in time!

Flash: Your spin is as desperate as is your claim of being a centrist.
Incompetent is the best word to describe Secretary of State Ritchie.
Didn’t you endorse Ritchie’s campaign?
November 7th, 2007 at 12:35 PM
I wonder if he fixed my polling location yet? It was correct when Kiffemeyer was in there, but wrong last time I looked. I shall check later.
November 7th, 2007 at 12:47 PM
“has been proven time and time again”
Please provide some evidence of this?
November 7th, 2007 at 12:49 PM
“Didn’t you endorse Ritchie’s campaign?”
No, I endorsed Mark Ritchie because we needed change in the SoS office. I also endorsed Ramstad. Currently I am leaning Coleman for Senate and Guilianni for President if Richardson doesn’t get the endorsement.
If I had to choose candidates based on their campaigns and tactics, Coleman would be disqualified based on this site alone.
Any other questions?

you know if they are looking at your website to find election results how come they haven’t noticed the email scandal to respond to? Or are those letters from lawmakers lost?

We need an independent auditor on hand for next year’s election. I just don’t trust this knuckle dragger to count the votes honestly.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:04 PM
The ‘glitch’ is fixed? Huhwah? I’m looking at my school board and referendum numbers and they are all ZEROES. Just like Ritchie Rich…a big ZERO.
And for those morons like Flush, let’s clarify this: My district had only 3 polling places with 3 optical read machines that basically run direct uploads by radio. There is NO reason why the idiot SoS office can’t get those numbers up.
Unless the SoS office is inhabited by DFL hack morons with the skills of the average shaved ape…and lead by a complete inept boob…Richie Ritchie.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:07 PM
Oh, and by the way Flush…all the cities in Hennepin county use the same damn machines. I’ve seen plenty of results from Bloomington and Minnetonka…so the tranmissions are getting to the SoS.
Which means the idiot kids at the SoS office can’t find their asses, using both hands. They are as incompetent as their Fearless Leader…Richie Ritchie.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:11 PM
Just to be clear, Flash endorsed Ritchie’s campaign.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:42 PM
hi flash if you think these are stupid attacks mind answering a few questions:
One, this was a very minor election night. How can you blow so many things on a minor election and expect to be right?
Two, is improvement in the SOS allowing people’s email addresses to be given to political campaigns?
Three, where’s this improvement you claim you wanted? I see the SOS office sinking faster than the Titanic since Ritchie became Secretary of State?

Hey flash I remember a picture Harry Truman held up a newspaper that had a headline, “Dewey wins!”
We need a Secretary of State’s Office that can get the results right! You were bragging on an earlier item that this was an improvement you had election results at 8:45 p.m. No wonder why you got them at 8:45 they just made up numbers and didn’t care they were right.

Thanks to Ritchie Rich, the people who knew how to properly program and test were sacked in favor of a bunch of college dropout DFL flunkies who couldn’t program their home VCRs…let alone a website.
Yep, we sure did make an “improvement” there, didn’t we, Flush? When exactly will ALL the results be up there? Maybe by next November, but I won’t hold my breath.
November 7th, 2007 at 2:12 PM
To be clear, I don’t endorse campaigns, I endorse individuals.
Flash
November 7th, 2007 at 2:15 PM
so Flash I guess in 2010 you will be endorsing somebody else for secretary of state since I showed he didn’t meet any standard of improvement which is what you claimed you wanted?
Walter Hanson
November 7th, 2007 at 2:16 PM
Flash: You endorsed Ritchie who was campaigning across Minnesota to be the next secretary of state. You endorsed Ritchie and you endorsed his campaign.
You’re getting desperate Flash.
November 7th, 2007 at 2:33 PM
Whenever MB says someone is getting desperate it means they have him running. Smoke and mirrors. So please don’t put words in my mouth. You have a habit of doing that
Walter, the current SoS has shown a marked improvement over the former. I look forward to his continued service. As for 2010, it all depends on who is running and what happens between now and then. Unlike the purveyor of this site, I will make decisions based on the individuals, not party label. Try it sometime.

November 7th, 2007 at 2:37 PM
Flash:
Thank you for once again confirming that you endorsed Ritchie, who was campaign for secretary of state.
November 7th, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Flash:
Wrong election results aren’t an improvement.
Email addresses being given to a politcal campaign isn’t an improvement!
Not responding to lawmakers expressing concerns how their office is run isn’t an improvement!!!
To the best of my knowledge Mary K. never did these things.
And once again Flash you yourself said you got election results last night at 8:45 to show this improvement. The readers of that newspaper Truman held up got their election results in the same quick and inaccurate manner as Ritchie’s website did last night.
So Flash just where is this improvement you were looking for? I don’t see it!!! It’s quite obvious that as a “person” Mark Ritchie shouldn’t be endorsed by anybody regardless if they are Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Communists (oh wait a minute he carried their endorsement last time they might keep him), etc…
Where is this remarkable improvement you’re talking about that make you think Ritchie is God!

Flash sez: “Any other questions?”
Yes, could your please provide evidence of your earlier statement:
“…it has been proven time and time again that we finally have some competence in the office,”
November 7th, 2007 at 2:53 PM
Maybe “Flash” is Mr. Ritchie??
That would explain the above statement.
the democRats must be very proud of this one.
November 7th, 2007 at 3:17 PM
“”Maybe “Flash†is Mr. Ritchie??”"
That’s funny as it seems the broken record atta boys that permeate the comment threads here would lead one to believe that they are the same people. But I have too much respect for MB to think for even a moment that is the case.
To make MB happy, my endoresment screed of Mr. Ritchie, the person.

November 7th, 2007 at 3:24 PM
But Flash why endorse the person:
* Wrong election results (or are you saying we’re lieing?)
* email addresses going from Secretary of State Office to the Ritichie campaign (or are you saying all of those people are lieing?)
* Not responding to lawmakers writing letters (the letters are MN Democrats exposed Michael would’ve been very happy to talk about the response)
Why endorse such a lousy person? Where is this improvement you want Flash?
Why aren’t you answering these very simple questions Flash?

The results are STILL not posted to the SoS site. Hey Flush…how is this an “improvement” over the last SoS.
Richie Ritchie is inept, over his head, and can’t even pull off an off-year election. Of course, don’t let the truth get in the way, huh Flushie?
November 7th, 2007 at 3:51 PM
Please read my top post…Secretary of State Ritchie should be embarrassed.
November 7th, 2007 at 3:57 PM
I bet he thinks we’re LIEING. My mom says lieing is a bad thing, and that I shouldn’t endorse someone who likes to ly to people.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:09 PM
Lou we are all well aware you do not have a “mommy” but rather two Dads.
Once again another brilliant post by a liberal.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:45 PM
Name calling, what a credible form of debate.
Good for you!
. . . and Mr. Hanson, who am I to answer for Mr. Ritchie. in November of ’06 it was clear that Mr. Ritchie was already doing a better job than Ms Kiffmeyer, I honor and respect her service, but now we have a marked improvement. As an IT Professional I understand the issues related to technologies, and those issues still exists, but it appears it is at a much reduced rate.
The goal of this website has nothing to do with providing objective analysis, it is about focusing on the minutiae and expanding it as large as he can get away with. Micheal is a master at his craft, I envy him at times.

If he weren’t a liar, a thief and utterly incompetent, he wouldn’t be a Democrat.
He’s too busy collecting the voter lists to add to his campaign solicitation lists, to do his goddam job correctly.
I really hate Democrats. Incompetent, idiots, every one of them.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:53 PM
A “marked improvement”? What, Flushie-boy, has led you to THAT conclusion? What color is the sky in your fantasyland?
Any OBJECTIVE observer can see that Richie Ritchie has managed to NOT lead his “team of IT professionals” in the EASIEST of elections…off-cycle. Its rather obvious, if you want to open your eyes.
Of course, MDE and I have pointed to REAL examples of his office’s complete bungling. You, on the other hand, provide nothing but “I says so”. Standard DFL liberal pap.
November 7th, 2007 at 5:04 PM
Flash how many more times do I have to ask this question where is the Mark Improvement you keep referring to? With the exception of trying to make it easier for people who shouldn’t be able to vote vote where is this “marked improvement” you keep talking about?
* You have his first election as Secretary of State and not showing election results (obviously you didn’t notice since they weren’t races you were interested in)
* Mary K. if she got a letter from a lawmaker would be in that lawmakers office immediately answering all questions that lawmaker has instead of ducking and not responding or when a reporter catches up to them saying, “I don’t know!!” You don’t have to be an IT professor to know that is totally unprofessional Flash.
* Flash I am a public employeee so I’m the expert on this point if I misuse public data even data that can be sold I can be fired!!! How is Mark Ritchie not misusing data which to the best of my knowledge shouldn’t be public data? That is something which makes his performance far worse than Mary K.
Answer the questions Flash!!!!!! What is this improvement instead of hiding behind your false belief that Mark is an improvement here? Next thing you know you will try to tell me the coach of the Miami Dolphins whose team hasn’t won a game yet this year is doing a better job as coach than the New England coach whose team hasn’t lost a game yet this year and usually wins by wide margins

Flash I just noticed a lie you seem to have just told with your responses in this post:
On item number 28 when you refer to Mary K you yourself wrote, “I honor and respect her service”
yet in item 1 which you wrote, “Compare to the former failure …”
You can not respect somebody when you call somebody names. I do believe you were cutting people down for that in #28. Furthermore if you do respect her service there would be no need to write “compare to the former failure …” unless you were referring to Joan Growe or some other earlier Secretary of State.
Flash you obviously just make lies as you go. When are we going to have a real and honest debate about Mark Ritchie? Or do you need to write down some more lies?

[...] After seeing how Ritchie's office advertised the wrong election results on his official website, it would seem that Minnesotan still needs a Secretary of State "who is dedicated to ensuring that voters are fully and accurately informed.." because Ritchie has already failed. [...]

I could say more, but my fruity pebbles will be occupying a majority of my next few hours of free time.

[...] When they held the elections for the schoolboard and school levies two+ weeks ago, Michael Brodkorb posted a screenshot of the Elections Page from the SecState’s website that shows Secretary Ritchie’s professional, nonpartisan public servants didn’t deliver on the promise of improving the availability, accuracy and timeliness of election information.
