Yet more from Wisconsin, where vote-counting has been a challenge to a number of elected officials.
Note: AP had it wrong because it was given it wrong. for instance, the whole town of Brookfield WI had not one of its votes counted at first. Tsk, tsk.
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is all over this, of course. This great state to escape to is looking not so sharp at this point. In any case, Prosser’s lead is big enough at this point to require his (losing) opponent to pay for a recount. Stay tuned.
More from Wisconsin vote-count scene, from Wall St. Journal:
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser took a significant lead in his re-election bid Thursday evening when the clerk of conservative-leaning Waukesha County reported she failed to count the ballots from a wealthy suburb west of Milwaukee.
It’s a “7,500 vote swing” that “represents a sizable blow to the hopes of the Democrat-backed challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg, who was leading the hotly contested race by 200 votes a day earlier.”
