And we have 7000 additional votes for "Spork Weasel".

After Tuesday night’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, a computer error in heavily Republican Waukesha County failed to send election results for the entire City of Brookfield to the Associated Press. The error, revealed today, would give incumbent Supreme Court Justice David Prosser a net 7,381 votes against his challenger, attorney Joanne Kloppenburg. On Wednesday, Kloppenburg declared victory after the AP reported she finished the election with a 204-vote lead, out of nearly 1.5 million votes cast.
On election night, AP results showed a turnout of 110,000 voters in Waukesha County — well short of the 180,000 voters that turned out last November, and 42 percent of the county’s total turnout. By comparison, nearly 90 percent of Dane County voters who cast a ballot in November turned out to vote for Kloppenburg.
Prior to the election, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus was heavily criticized for her decision to keep the county results on an antiquated personal computer, rather than upgrade to a new data system being utilized statewide. Nickolaus cited security concerns for keeping the data herself — yet when she reported the data, it did not include the City of Brookfield, whose residents cast nearly 14,000 votes.
Throughout the day Thursday, official canvass numbers flipped the lead back and forth between Prosser and Kloppenburg. While many believed a recount was inevitable, the addition of the Brookfield votes for Prosser could push the justice’s lead beyond the legal threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Under state law, Kloppenburg could still ask for a recount up to three days after the official canvass, but would have to pay for it herself.
More details as they become available.
We’ll never know for sure which it was, but either scenario is a very happy thought. :)
The PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN told the unionistas and Madison hippies to TAKE A HIKE!
Thanks! All these years & I never knew that.
This is one case where I won’t blame the Left for going nuts. Were the roles reversed, we would be screaming at the top of our lungs.
But it is sweeeettt....
I'd love to know how much of that 90% turnout was real, and how much was Dem operatives voting for people who didn't show.
We'll have a better idea in the next election, if Voter ID is passed, by seeing how turnout looks when those showing to vote have to show valid ID.
No, it was Wisconsin voters that gave Prosser 7381 more votes.
yeah, but we scream often enough that it’s nice to win one for a change.
That is a super quick finger that you post with...4 twiches in a nanosecond....
Good points! That 90% is lower than the 110% they could have done if they had only known that the race would be so close. Gotta get the ACORN and college kids and the cementary residents voting thrice instead of just twice.
Indeed.
What a great great day for the good folks, the long suffering taxpayers, of Wisconsin!
Awesome!
Take that union thugs! Take that Obama!
Hee Hee Hee
Hack judge Sue-Me will want to try to block this change of vote totals. She simply will not stand for this! Hee Hee Hee
I wonder just how long she intends to block the budget law, for 4 to 8 years maybe?
What the heck gives her the power to over rule the will of over half our state???
I think we should all picket her house and her workplace until she submits to the will of the people.
What a b*tch.
Poor libs. Maybe this will teach them about trusting what the media reports! They based the size of their vote fraud operations on it. The GOP found a plausible way to lie to the media and report their real totals last. Now it’s too late to bus their same day multi-voters to additional locations. Stealing it now will be much harder. Not that they they aren’t trying to find a way. Milwaukee says it may not report official totals to the state until next week. It will be hard to find so many fake virtual votes. so they’ll probably try to crucify the messenger (the gal in Wakesha) instead. Given that the Democratic monitor endorsed the results and the that the top liberal (and NY Times) analyst, Nate Silver, says the ‘new’ numbers make sense this should be as easy as marketing Obama as a fiscal conservative.
no, but what you *can* do is number the ballots — already typically done — and give the voter a receipt containing that number.
What a great great day for all conservatives. This win has energized all freedom loving Americans. There IS hope and change for America.
Looks like I may be able to buy you that beer now.
