The Government Accountability Board declared incumbent Justice David Prosser as the winner of the state Supreme Court race following a lengthy recount of the ballots cast in the April 5 election.
Prosser received 752,694 votes to his challenger, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, who received 745,690 winning by .46 percent of the vote, according to the GAB.
The recount gained 371 votes for Prosser and 683 votes for Kloppenburg, according to the GAB. The change wasn’t enough for Kloppenburg to recover the difference of 7,004 votes between the two candidates.
Kloppenburg had declared victory when reports April 6 showed she was ahead by about 200 votes. However, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus left out of her report to the Associated Press all the votes from the city of Brookfield, a predominately conservative community. The votes from Brookfield made up the difference to give Prosser the win.
Kloppenburg has until May 31 to challenge the GAB’s decision. A copy of the official canvass certification and report can be found on its website.

She already wasted a quarter million dollars of taxpayer money. Add that to the fortune the morons protesting in Madison cost (for nothing) and you have your answer.

Again, this women and the extreme liberals and national union people behind this terrible sham should all just walk east. Really, how can people claiming to be adults act like this; plus whine, cry, threaten, swear/cuss, trash the capitol,beg for puppet media coverage, and on and on. Just totally disgusting!!!
Seat the juge now and cut the crap. You are really getting a huge amount of people very angry and we will not ever forget all of this. Ever.

Prosser won before the recount by over 7,000 votes. Prosser won after the recount by over 7,000 votes.
Prosser won both times....and so did Wisconsin.
If the Kloppenburg camp takes this to court, and I believe they will, even fence sitters and independents will bring on a backlash against the liberals.
