In a stunning development, a clerical error in Wisconsin has transformed what many expected to be a long, ugly legal battle favoring the Left into an almost certain victory for the Right, outraging leftists like Michael Moore, to the point where the radical "documentarian" has stopped bothering to hide his disdain for the democratic process.
The intense Wisconsin Supreme Court race between the incumbent Republican, Justice David Prosser, and his Democrat challenger, state DNR enforcer JoAnn Kloppenburg, ended Wednesday with the latter declaring victory based on the Associated Press’s calculation of a 204-vote lead. Prosser didn't budge, and most predicted an onslaught of recounts and vote fraud litigation to ensue.
But on Thursday evening we learned that Waukesha county clerk Kathy Nickolaus had erroneously passed on the county’s data to the AP without the numbers from the city of Brookfield, which shifted the lead to Prosser by more than 7,000 votes. Leftists are predictably outraged that hijacking the judiciary to thwart Governor Scott Walker's public-sector union reforms won’t work after all, though none have topped the overreaction of Moore, who tweeted last night:
Republicans created the rule: "Whoever declares victory first, wins!" When will Obama Justice Dept impound ballots and stop the shenanigans?Much has been said about the totalitarian impulse and anti-constitutionalism behind modern leftism, but rarely is it expressed so overtly by one of their own. Moore wants the federal government to forcibly prevent the certification of a state election and give the office to someone based strictly on her own, premature and entirely unofficial, declaration of victory?...

There is precedent. Didn’t MoveOn.org want Ohio investigated in 2004 based on EXIT POLLING? AP is about on the same level.
Michael, how’s about you just hold your breath until you get what you want? Set us a fine example.
Fat boy needs to have his butt kicked.
It’s a shame Mikey’s head just doesn’t explode from his outrage.
Perhaps he can just move down to Cuba, he’d be much more at home there with his BFF Fidel anyway.
Scratch a liberal, find a totalitarian.
What I really like about this is how the Lefties were soooo convinced they’d won, and had Klip-klop on the payroll now to do whatever they wanted to turn back Gov. Walkers reforms. Prossers victory will be affirmed, and the fact their hopes were so high makes it all the sweeter to see them dashed all to hell.
No they didn't rolly-polly, but some of us do adhere to the adage "He who laughs last..." ;-)
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Mikey
The level of depravity to which they are willing to stoop will nauseate and alienate any decent human being. Ya gotta love 'em. They're their own worst enemies... and the best friends the GOP will ever have.
Hardcore gulag Liberals will send more people to the GOP voting booths than the RNC ever will.
:-\
It is NOT left versus right.
It is the left versus America.
Y’all be careful, when their heads explode all that mush is really hard to get off you.
No surprise here. He and they are Communists.
Moore is just pretending to be mad. We’ll know when he is really serious when he goes on a hunger strike.
Moore’s comments seem to favor a totalitarian state where the government can just nullify free elections that do not conform with their interests.
If the AP news organization had wanted actual vote totals, it should have waited until they were released by the Wisconsin Secretary of State. However, The Associated Press was in a hurry to "scoop" the other news organizations and it relied upon preliminary but unverified vote totals.
Watching him meltdown on Twitter was effing priceless. The shift from gloating to whining was one of the most pathetic things I've seen from an alleged adult.
