Apparently, Justice Prosser won the elections
2011-04-08
H/t Instapundit, Ann Althouse
The latest vote count in the state Supreme Court race in Winnebago County indicates incumbent David Prosser is leading Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg in votes.

A tally compiled by The Associated Press Wednesday and used by news organizations statewide, including the Journal Sentinel, indicated Kloppenburg was leading the race by 204 votes. Figures on Winnebago County's website are now different from those collected by the AP.

Winnebago County's numbers say Prosser received 20,701 votes to Kloppenburg's 18,887. The AP has 19,991 for Prosser to Kloppenburg's 18,421.

The new numbers would give Prosser 244 more votes, or a 40-vote lead statewide.

#4  I'm sure they will 'find' the necessary Kloppen-votes in the Milwaukee warehouse.

#3  In the city of Milwaukee, officials are reviewing ballots in a warehouse on the city's north side, a process that will last into Friday, city election commission Executive Director Susan Edman said.

#2  Got news for ya, folks...the good news we've gotten since Nov. '10 - taking the House, Chris Christie and Scott Walker standing off with the public-sector unions, and now Justice Prosser hopefully keeping his seat...are combined, nothing more than the modern equivalent of Washington's victory at Trenton. The good guys have proven they can prevail against a splendidly organized, lavishly funded enemy - but do they have the staying power to hang on for a whole bunch of nasty battles ahead? Maybe it's just the bottle of good red wine I had with dinner talking, but it seems to me our Yorktown's a fair distance in the future...

I'm currently working my way through a book recommended by Hugh Hewitt: The Blueprint - How The Democrats Won Colorado (And Why Republicans EVERYWHERE Should Care). Some damned sobering reading about how four rich Colorado leftists orchestrated the Dem takeover of the Colorado statehouse, waged "lawfare" against Republican candidates, and basically destroyed the Colorado Republican Party. The techniques worked out by this "Gang of Four" are being replicated by leftists nationwide, and we underestimate them at our peril.

#1  Overcome by events. It seems that Waukesha County did not include the town of Brookfield's votes in its initial count. With the votes, Prosser nets 7381 more than Kloppenburg. The Democratic Party leader signed off on those figures. HT: Hot Air, Glenn, everybody.

For a good laugh, look at Michael Moore's Tweets.
