Update (AP): Good lord. With just 10 precincts still left to report, Kloppenburg now leads by 140 votes — 738,368 to 738,228. Of the 10 remaining precincts, eight are in counties where Kloppenburg currently leads. Gulp.

If you’re holding your breath waiting for the recount to start, exhale now. It’ll be a long, long time coming. Update (AP): Just five precincts to go now and Kloppenburg’s lead has opened to not quite 500 votes.

Wisconsin YOU are screwed.

Do wonder how the results would change with a photo ID law. Anyone who thinks the unions didn’t stack this vote needs their heads examined.

Watch out - those thousands of ballots that were printed up last week will just now start to be found in the basements of urban “community centers”

Now there are only 5 precincts left and Kloppenberg leads by 369.

If it’s this close, Wisconsin deserves what they get.

[saganite]

They won’t need any of those with Klop in the lead.

[skeeter]

140 votes out of a half million cast - a fair and honest election, no doubt.

HEAVY sarcasm.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We need to do what the Democrats do, and “find” boxes of misplaced votes in the trunks of cars during the recount.

[Sopater]

Oops, make that Kloppenberg by 311 with 5 precincts left.

[KansasGirl]

It was pretty much a given that Rats were gonna steal this election if it was close.

Can’t the WI Senate just revote with 24 hrs notice? I thought the Court problem was a phoney claim of a Sunshine violation. If they revote, they take that claim off the table.

[max americana]

Dems cheat..conservatives pray and look. That’s why we lose most of the time.

[kickonly88]

NO! That’s cheating. The guvna should be preparing those layoff notices.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Walker and the Republicans need to repass the law with notice this time.

Man up.

[newzjunkey]

Wisconsin YOU are screwed.

Unfortunately it's not just Wisconsin.

[Moose4]

This is my surprised face.

[dynachrome]

This one is stolen. The rest is kabuki theater.

I think that the republicans see a revote as an admission of guilt. I expect that they will only try that if the court challenge is found in favor of the complainers.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Yes, they can revote, but they are afraid.

Thugocracy.
