Amazing race in Wisconsin...
In a race still too close to call, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne
Kloppenburg took a paper-thin lead over Justice David Prosser in the state Supreme Court race early Wednesday, capping a race marked by massive voter turnout, Gov. Scott Walker's union bargaining plan, and record spending by outside interest groups. As of 11:30 a.m., The Associated Press had results for all but 1 of the state's 3,630 precincts and Kloppenburg had taken a 235 vote lead after Prosser had been ahead most of the night by less than 1,000 votes. That one precinct would appear to be in the Town of Lake Mills, where town officials were meeting to count the last of the paper ballots. The Jefferson County Clerk's officer reported that Prosser picked up only 2 votes in the electronic vote in Lake Mills and that 24 handwritten ballots were not yet counted.The results of a single township in Jefferson County should be known by about 1 p.m. Wednesday after local officials finish examining votes from Tuesday's election. About 220 votes were cast in Town of Lake Mills - seemingly not enough for Prosser to make up the votes he would need to defeat Kloppenburg. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepo...119308059.html It ain't over until it is over, but for two candidates to be a couple of hundred votes apart when more than a million votes were cast...amazing. If Kloppenburg wins, it will be a stiff repudiation of the state's republican governor. The gov's man also lost in a race to run the Milwaukee county government. In the judge race, the Republicans outspent the Dems by a more than 3 to 2 margin. |
