In a political bombshell, the clerk in a Republican stronghold is set to release new vote totals giving 7,500 votes in the state Supreme Court race back toward Justice David Prosser, swinging the race significantly in his favor.
The Waukesha County clerk's office has told state elections officials that they will be adjusting the vote totals to give incumbent David Prosser more than 7,000 new votes, said Mike Haas, staff attorney for the state Government Accountability Board.
"Waukesha will be adjusting their vote totals by 14,000," Haas said the Accountability Board was told.
The numbers will add some 11,000 votes for Prosser and some 3,000 for Kloppenburg, he said.

too bad all those out of state paid union protesters couldn't vote !
ROFL
This is why the Tea Party is such a force, because it is a REAL grass roots movement by real people who can vote, and not a sham astro turf movement like the protests in Wisconsin.
I lived in a small city in Florida in the only leftist county in North Florida. There was a lot of the usual Dem cheating (union buses bringing in the folks from the large local mental hospital and “voting” them, for example). But the county clerk and elections folks actually took their jobs very seriously (probably because a lot of them were old-school conservative Floridians) and all the poll workers did, too. At that level, the system worked.
I think this woman’s slow reporting may have saved the election for Prosser, but I doubt that she planned it that way. She was just an old-school careful, ethical person doing her job.
Don't tell me, Alachua County?
1. Require a photo ID issued by the state of residence (or a DoD ID card).
2. Deny last minute registration on the day of the actual vote. If you can't bother to register to vote at a reasonable time before an election, you don't deserve to vote.
Best. News. Ever. !!!
this is the nicest news I’ve gotten today....that and the fact that Obammy is starting to sweat....personally I don’t want the GOP to back down...the fed govmint does very little for me...
I'll believe it when Prosser is still on the bench come Aug 1.
She is also a known Republican activist — had been President of a local Republican club until recently. The reporters hammered her a little, without saying that. Rather, they tried to portray her as incompetent. I buy her explanation. The DB and the spreadsheets she used were all supplied by the election commission. One glitch was probably caused by Brookfield city officials. They had a spreadsheet to fill out and transmit electronically so that the Waukesha clerk could upload it to the state.
The cities were all told not to change the spreadsheet. The first time Brookfield sent theirs in they had added some columns. The Waukesha clerk phoned Brookfield and told them to remove the extra columns and re-transmit the spreadsheet. The problem seemed to occur at that point because the Waukesha clerk failed to “save” the spreadsheet before the 2nd transmittal and the information was lost and never reported to the AP.
The Waukesha clerk picked it up at the canvass because Brookfield came up all 0s.
Oh, but they probably could. Residency is 10 (TEN) days and intent to make this your home. Oh, there's that pesky little detail about a WI Driver's Licence ID, but you can get around that by saying that you don't have one and providing the last 4 numbers of your SS#. THen you have to provide another form of ID -- a piece of mail with your name on it, bank account number, etc. Registering under a false name and using a piece of stolen mail will provide that.
Nobody will ever know until the postcard sent out by the County Clerk to check your address is returned as undeliverable. THis is the stupidest election system I've ever seen.

That’s a great photo. Did you do the Photoshop?
I take no credit. Stole it from NR’s The Corner blog and meant to say so.
The only way to win a close election is to count last. The Democrats have been doing it for years.
Eat it obummer.
Pubs n Dims have been playing that game in Illinois for 50 years or more: lookee here!
I’d rather hide and then reveal LEGITIMATE votes, not manufactured votes.
Thank you for this post. Is FOX News covering this? Does anyone know?
The state only pays for a recount if the total difference is .05%. Otherwise, the requesting candidate must pay the $5/precinct cost for a recount.
This sounds legit. I doubt the unions want to pay out even more, after paying so much to swing this to Kloppenburg via student votes, et al.
Early post election evaluations had the total Waukesha vote count well less than the number of votes that were cast last November and that was causing many to scratch their heads because other counties did not have the large discrepancy between Tuesday’s vote count and that of Nov. 2.
With the extra 14K votes added in, that brings Waukesha on par with the other counties, which one would expect.
I’m a conservative, delighted with the new totals and voted for Prosser, but this Clerk is incompetent and should resign. Good grief this really mattered and she effed up big time. Good grief
