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.

And the other two precincts left are in Milwaukee. That’s not encouraging.
I saw that! While I was poking around I ran into this site. Take a look at this: http://prisonersofthecensus.org/factsheets/wi/Dane_County_WI.pdf
It seems that that is the last precinct left to report...
With a difference right now of 224 votes, it gives Kloppenburg only a 0.015% lead... Surely we’re not really that evenly divided.
OK, that is encouraging.
Can’t they just vote on a new bill?
If most of the dubious votes were for Kloppenberg, wouldn’t a recount tilt the results toward Prosser?
When will the GOP learn? Fighting during the recount misses the point and plays the dems game. The time to act is BEFORE the damn election. Where the hell were the voter ID laws? Where the hell were the pieces of legislation that would, gulp, actually make the elections honest? Electoral suicide brought to you by hubris.
Afraid not. See, now that they have a lefty majority in the Supreme Court the new system of government is in place. Whatever the legislature of elected officials passes is hereby null and void (for some reason yet to be articulated) as the dictators in black robes have deemed it such.
Banana Republic Time!!!
You missed my point entirely. Your fork needs to be redirected to you.
I know. I'm just tired of losing to these cheaters.
It needs to be proven and convictions and punishment must result; that will be the beginning of change.
Trouble is, that depends on an honest law enforcement apparatus and an honest judicial system. Where do you go when the police are criminals? Where do you go for justice when the courts are corrupt? Look at the Franken-Coleman "election". Coleman played by the rules, trusted the courts for justice and the election system for a fair shake, and he got kicked to the sidelines while Al Franken went to the US Senate, to the eternal shame of that state. Look at the '04 Governor's election in Washington State. It was brazenly stolen in broad daylight by the 'Rats and everyone just laughed about it, or congratulated the 'Rats on their creativity in "finding" so many "lost" ballots. Dino Rossi trusted the courts and proved a dozen ways from Sunday there was fraud, and the judge basically told him to shove it, it was up to the voters to "fix"? Fix how? How can voters "fix" anything if the election apparatus is corrupt and broken? Ever try to fix something with a broken tool? Doesn't work too well. So Christine Fraudoire gets a two-term ticket to the Governor's Mansion while Rossi gets a one-way ticket to palookaville. Some justice that.
UPDATE: With 3,629 of 3,630 precincts reporting as of noon Wednesday, Kloppenburg led by 235 votes, 739,589 to 739,354.
The one precinct left to report was in Jefferson County, which has favored Prosser 58 percent to 42 percent for Kloppenburg so far.
I suspect they won't have the votes to do it again, besides I recall the Senate leader assuring us their case in the courts was all going their way.
I knew when they failed to surge forward with their plans while the dimmies were out of town would, come back to bite them. At least now they can do what the E-Publicans always do, blame the court.
Final Results seem to be in:
County Precincts
D. Prosser (i) 739,886
J. Kloppenburg 740,090
Kloppenberg by 204.
I see you’re from WA state. I went through all this with Rossi v. Gregoire several years ago when I lived in Snohomish county.
I don’t think it’s that close. Since when have the unions played by anyone’s rules other than their own. I posted an article about prisoners being counted as residents in the cencus. What do you want to bet that a lot of those mail in ballots are from prisons (considering that corrections officers were at the union rallies, I don’t think that is much of a stretch)
Yeah, but nothing is ever really done about it.
Wouldn’t this be just about the right time. They can only cheat if we let them. Then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
