I’ve been paying attention to the Wisconsin election. The election between a two candidates for a seat on Wisconsin’s State Supreme Court. One leans right. One falls off the cliff left. The one on the left won if you asked any liberal last night,  But by late afternoon today,  the liberals began crying in their celebration party drinks.

Important Win For The Democrats In Wisconsin

All the precincts have reported in WIsconsin and the “winner” is JoAnne Kloppenburg, who leads State Supreme Court Justice Richard Prosser by 204 votes out of 1,479.976 votes cast.  The margin is so thin that a recount is inevitable.

Whoops… :rotfl:

Evidently some clerk counting votes using an old PC or some abacus lost about 7,000 votes or counted them wrong or didn’t count them at all.. But that’s really not the issue, the issue is the AP. The Associated Press came out with this report:

Democrat Has Tiny Lead in Symbolic Wisconsin Election

JoAnne Kloppenburg has a tiny lead of 204 votes over David Prosser in the incumbent Wisconsin state supreme court judge election widely viewed as a proxy vote over Gov. Scott Walker’s push to curb union power. All precincts are reporting, but the race is so close there’ll likely be a recount, Talking Points Memo’s Eric Kleefeld reports. Almost 1.5 million votes were cast.

Then the gloating on the Democrat side: “It was an epic failure of Governor Walker’s anti-American, Anti-Union, Anti-Middle Class.. yada yada”… It was all over the net and facebook about how this was the start of Unions becoming MORE powerful… Um Not so fast there big boy… HA!

By the afternoon facts started emerging, a clerical error produced a 7,000 plus edge to the David Prosser and the meltdown started.

Wis. corrects vote count, gives incumbent big lead. (I can’t force myself to link them, google it if you want to)

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A conservative incumbent surged to a commanding lead in Wisconsin’s hotly contested Supreme Court election Thursday, after a predominantly GOP county’s clerk announced she had incorrectly entered vote totals in the race seen as a referendum on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s divisive union rights law. (Emphasis mine)

Wisconsin Supreme Court: Local clerk ‘finds’ over 7,000 votes for Prosser (I can’t force myself to link them, google it if you want to)

The vote totals in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race swung back and forth today, first with incumbent Justice David Prosser taking the lead, then with challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg taking it back by 125 votes.

The latest, and by far most disturbing, development is that a clerk in Wisconsin’s biggest conservative country has suddenly “found” a huge amount of votes for Prosser. JS Online:

UPDATED: Conservative Waukesha County Clerk “Finds” 7,000 Votes For Prosser. (I can’t force myself to link them, google it if you want to)

4:30pm Update: In her press conference about a half-hour ago, Kathy Nickolaus claimed she failed to import the results from Brookfield City into her master tally that was reported to the press. The numbers she reported as an ‘update’ which gave Prosser 7,000 more votes were clearly reported in real time on election night. Sure, sure it was a computer error. (Emphasis mine)

All I’m saying with this post is WATCH the next couple of days.
