JoAnne Kloppenburg’s tiny lead over incumbent justice David Prosser for a seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court is now at 224 votes as one precinct is left to count, the Town of Lake Mills in Jefferson County.
According to the Lake Mills Leader newspaper, a problem with its tally sheets kept the township from reporting any results to Jefferson County last night. Election officials in the township were supposed to begin counting 24 remaining uncounted votes and review their tally sheets again at 8:30 a.m. this morning but because there was a lack of a quorum on the Board of Canvassers, the vote count did not begin until 11:45 a.m.
Prosser carried Jefferson County by a 58-42 percent margin. The township reportedly has some 700-760 votes to add to the county total.

It appears that if those margins held true and if another 760 total votes were added, K would win by 12 votes? Am I missing something here?
760 votes in the precinct,
assuming 60%GOP/40%Dem,
then Kloppdinger’s lead decreases by 150 to 58 votes.
