I Guess JoAnne Kluppenburg spoke too soon when she claimed "Victory"

Tweet

Candidate for Wisconsin State Supreme Court, JoAnne Kloppenburg claimed victory yesterday because the unofficial vote reporting to the press gave her a little over 200 vote majority over incumbent Justice David Prosser. But wait! There's more! During the canvas to verify the votes (but after the unofficial count was released to the press), it was found that the entire city of Brookfield, WI was omitted from the vote count. "The new totals showed Prosser with 92,263 votes in the county, while Kloppenburg had 32,758. That netted Prosser 7,582 votes, compared to the initial tally reported by The Associated Press." Which means that Prosser wins with a lead comfortable enough to negate a state paid recount. If Kloppenburg wants to demand a recount, that is her right (and she probably will), but she will have to raise the money to pay for it. Of course, the left is going to cry foul, but before any of them (or you) do, read the following quotes... "went over everything and made sure that all the numbers jived up, and they did." "I'm the Democratic vice chair of Waukesha County, so I'm not going to stand here and tell you something that's not true," Ramona Kitzinger, the Democratic member of the county board of canvass. She is also the Vice Chair of the Waukesha County Democratic Party. Of course there will continue to be calls for investigations of this and other irregularities, and rightly so. But the official count does put Prosser as the winner, not Kloppenburg. Note: I could have used any number of links, but I chose the DailyKos specifically so those of you on the left won't challenge the link. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/07/964533/-Updated:-7583-Votes-Magically-Appear:-Prosser-Wins-(Not-an-April-Fools-Joke)
