Hope and change via Mike Murphy and Randy Melchert. The Journal-Sentinel explains what happened:
A tally compiled by The Associated Press Wednesday and used by news organizations statewide, including the Journal Sentinel, indicated Kloppenburg was leading the race by 204 votes. Figures on Winnebago County’s website are now different from those collected by the AP.
Winnebago County’s numbers say Prosser received 20,701 votes to Kloppenburg’s 18,887. The AP has 19,991 for Prosser to Kloppenburg’s 18,421…
An editor at the AP said the news service became aware of the discrepancy in the past hour. The AP last checked figures with Winnebago County at 10:14 a.m. Wednesday, according to the AP. The county adjusted its figures at 2:27 p.m.
See for yourself by comparing the official county results with the AP’s election night page. Combined, the two candidates picked up more than a thousand votes, which makes me wonder how often this race might seesaw as other officials re-canvass and update their numbers. I wish I had time to start poring through the clerk pages of Wisconsin’s counties to compare their results to the AP’s, but I’ll leave it to the Hot Air faithful to crowdsource that and report back. Please e-mail us with tips if you find or hear of other discrepancies. Apparently Madison — Kloppenburg’s stronghold — is re-canvassing as I write this, so Prosser’s lead might be short-lived.
Speaking of Madison, read Christian Schneider’s analysis at NRO of how dominant Prosser was on election night outside the capital. Excluding Dane County, which encompasses Madison and a whoooooole lot of public employees, Prosser took 53.3 percent of the vote — better than Scott Walker’s statewide total of 52.3 percent in November. The One had better hope that state workers maintain that intensity next year (or, if not, that young voters pick up their slack) or he could have problems.
Kloppenburg must really trust her handlers to “handle” things for her. She already declared victory last night.

And I’m sure it ain’t over yet....
I want the @#$#@%^s in jail.
Well I wonder how all those people on twitter last night that were gloating and telling every one else to get over it feel now...do you think they will get over it if they lose?
It appeared from how things were reported yesterday that Wisconsin isn't highly automated in their voting, which means they probably do a lot of reading off numbers and writing them down.
That process is prone to transcription and other errors, which is why they have a certification date that is, I think, over a month from now. They give out numbers immediately for the reporters, but they aren't official; you can't even start a recount until all the official numbers are in.
I would expect the numbers to change daily for a while, until you start seeing numbers labeled "final" from the various reporting entities.
The idea is to create the public perception that she won. Why? First, so that Posser backs down even if the votes go his way in the end. Not likely here. Second, so that the marxist demscum can scream about a "stolen election" regardless of the actual results. Witness GW Bush v Gore...
So, AP and the other news agencies essentically declare a winner, the vote count turns out to be different from what they tallied, in favor of Prosser, now the Progressives have ammunition for declaring “widespread” voting irregularitie by Republicans.
Who the He** is AP to declare a vote count?
Just asking.
Don’t count the vote before the hardcore radical left wing judges do. :)
I don’t have the stomach to go over and see what the DUmmies think of this, but I bet there are a lot of F words being thrown around...
were these votes cast before or after the election?
were these votes cast before or after the election?
bttt
AP just reported what they wanted knowing that regardless how they reported there would be a recount.
The juvenile party is so used to being royalty, they never act as if they lose.............never. In their minds it's not possible for them to lose, even if they do.
