The vote count for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election can be found here. Gonna be a nail-biter before it's all over. And I expect the vote totals to jump all over the place. When I first looked at it the lib Kloppenburg had a 20 point lead. A few minutes later it was down to 6. It all depends on where the votes are coming from.
UPDATE Wed. Morning: 100% reporting
Prosser (incumbent) - 50%
Kloppenburg (flaming liberal) - 50% (leading) - 204 vote margin
As I expected last night, even though Prosser had an 800 vote lead when I got up this morning, the last results are coming from Dem districts and the lead has been erased. Democrats always seem to hold a few precincts in reserve in close races. It's easier when they know how many votes they need to manufacture to win. From Twitter:
@Michael_Haz: Report of some 10,000 ballots in one area of Madison w/ a vote for Kloppenburg but no vote in the mayoral contestClassic.
There's going to be a recount and we should remember something important - when Dems win races by narrow margins they win the recounts. When the GOP wins races by narrow margins they lose the recounts because the Dems will manufacture votes to put their candidate over the top. How long until some Dem county "finds" a box of ballots that hasn't been counted? As they say, this election is now within the margin of fraud.
