Supreme Court justice David Prosser has picked up more than 7,381 votes in Waukesha County, a conservative county outside of Milwaukee, as part of the statewide canvass following the election for Supreme Court on Tuesday. The total gives Prosser a comfortable lead as the canvass continues Friday.
The error came when Waukesha County clerk Kathy Nickolaus failed to save some 14,000 votes that came from wards in Brookfield before passing the vote total along to the Associated Press. County officials discovered the mistake Wednesday and shared the information with state election officials on Thursday. Prosser won Waukesha County with more than 70 percent of the vote there.
Wisconsin sources say that the paper trail on the votes will be obvious and difficult for anyone to dispute. Either votes from Brookfield were counted in the initial tally or they weren’t. Still, the discovery of the extra votes is sure to stoke the embers of the heated battles that have taken place across the state over the past two months, particularly because Nickolaus, the woman at the center of the controversy, is a Republican activist. A posting on the website of the Republican Women of Waukesha County indicates that Kathy Nickolaus recently served as president of that group.
But several sources have pointed to questions about her competence in the past. In August, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that her superiors “ordered an audit of the county clerk's election equipment and system beginning with the September primary despite several memos she sent to the committee over the weekend defending her practices and resisting the move.”
LOL
There’s gonna be a lot of “sick” dems needing REAL doctors!
Don’t think they won’t try something like that still.
Think WA. Think MN and Franken.
The was a COMPLETE REFUTATION by the people of Wisconsin for dirty hippies taking over the capitol and threatening their fairly-elected representatives!
A whole city was not counted that went 70-30 for Prosser.
The AP was wrong Tues. nite but why am I not surprised?
Jean! Jean! Isn’t it wonderful!!!
I was at your election night thread until 1am.
Then the gloom of Wednesday.
Now the JOY of this afternoon.
WOW!
A whole city's votes had not been reported and when it was spotted, they added up the votes. If it had been reported in time, the Dims would have known the precise number of votes to "discover."
Prosser gains 7,500 votes in Waukesha County(DU post of it with angry liberal comments)

LOL, Love it.
“Waukesha County clerk Kathy Nickolaus failed to save some 14,000 votes”
11,000 votes per you Vs. 14,000 votes Weekly Standard.
Semantics...my Friend,,,We are looking Good!
The story I heard was 14,000 uncounted votes turned up in a 70-30 county.
It would seem that Kloppenburg got Klobbenburged in the end.
Jon Stewart has a segment named "Polishing a t*rd," IOW trying to make bad news sound like good news.
They could say, "Well, Klingonburger overcame a 40 point deficit and almost won."
Stinking conservatives disenfranching the dead I'm sure, what's next, don't count illegals.
Maybe I've been in Illinois too long.
Demoncratic women are consistent...wow.
It seems like they took out 5000 votes in Seattle in ‘04 with no sweat to beat Dino Rossi.
I hope the pubbies have learned some lessons.
It just hit me Kloppencommie’s video reminds me so much of the crazed:
Glenn Close....Fatal Attraction!
Brett Baier says it was 7500 net.

I'm guessing stiff, wooden and a lot of strings attached?
This is the problem with conservatives. We make jokes when confronted with liberal dirty tricks. You see those faces. They aren’t the faces of people who think any of this is a joke. As Limbaugh explained today, the left depends on the government for it’s power. The right can take government or leave it. Guess who has the built in advantage in politics.
The leftist protestors are fighting for their economic lives. We are fighting for the country’s economic life. There’s a big difference between the two. One is fighting for an abstraction. The other is fighting for a livehood. I am just saying. Conservatives don’t stand a chance arguing diplomatically with these people. They aint listening because it’s not in their interest to listen.
This is only going to end with a disaster.
It’s amazing! If these numbers stand Kloppenburg will have to pay for the recall.
