Statewide Recount in Supreme Court Race

Refusing to concede defeat, state Supreme Court challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg asked election officials Wednesday for a statewide recount in her flagging upset bid against Justice David Prosser.

Final county tallies compiled last week showed Prosser held a 7,316-vote lead over the little-known state attorney. The margin is within one-half of 1 percent of the total votes cast, entitling Kloppenburg to a statewide recount at local governments' expense...

Prosser's campaign pressured her not to seek a recount, saying there was no way she would find 7,000 votes and a recount would be costly for taxpayers.

State elections officials said the recount could begin as early as next week, barring any court challenges....

Prosser's attorney has promised to challenge any recount request.

Supreme Court election: ballots are now totaled and Prosser wins by 7,316

It’s Spring, and so my wife and I decided to do an especially fine job with the cleaning this week. One of the duties which was placed under my charge was vacuuming, which in the Spring involves moving the sofa and getting underneath and behind it. I finally got around to it last night. Why am I telling you this? Because lo and behold, when I moved the sofa I happened to come across almost 18,000 ballots for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race between David Prosser and Joanne Kloppenburg. About 15,200 of them were for Kloppenburg, while about 2,800 of them were for Prosser. So it appears that Kloppenburg is once again ahead in the final tally, having gained roughly 12,400 votes. I want to emphasize that this is simply a result of human error, and that error is mine. I sincerely apologize — I did not mean to lose track of these votes. I also want to stress that these are not “new votes” — I actually filled out all of these ballots back in February. I am truly sorry for my error, but thankfully I found them just as the candidate that I supported was going to lose a very important race in Wisconsin politics. You can imagine the amount of egg I have on my face today. I am so sorry. I suppose this means that Ms. Kloppenburg could once again declare victory, but let’s wait on that. There might be some Republican employees out there in conservative counties that still need to do their Spring Cleaning, too.
