Why are the votes for Prosser going down? I noticed when updating that Kloppenburg was going up by 10 votes or 3 votes and Prosser starting going down. This is what you had:
Joanne Kloppenburg 739,589 50%
David Prosser (inc) 739,354 50%
This is what is showing now:
Joanne Kloppenburg 739,379 50%
David Prosser (inc) 739,043 50%
Do you think they are slowly trying to fix it? That would be my guess - how can the vote go down?
this is what’s showing now:
Supreme Court REPORTING 99%

—Yeah, I just noticed that, too- they subtracted votes from both, but she widens her lead to 336 votes (from a 235 lead an hour or so ago). Reporting has remained at 99% the whole time, though.
Jefferson County numbers haven’t changed from the last AP report- so where are they subtracting from?

(Jefferson unchanged)
They both went down in that snapshot you posted, total of about 500 votes.
Weird.
Either it’s new trick or a correction to a genuine mistake. I suspect the former: subtract votes from both under the guise of “error”, but subtract fewer from your candidate.
