Justice David Prosser declared victory in the contentious Supreme Court election Friday, despite escalating scrutiny over votes in Waukesha County.

Prosser declared victory after canvasses of Wisconsin’s 72 counties confirmed he was ahead by 7,316 votes. A statewide certification, which adds up the county results, will be delayed until a Government Accountability Board investigation into the election is completed.

However, Prosser’s campaign is already anticipating a recount. In a statement on his website, Prosser called a recount “the likely next step,” and asked supporters to donate to a “Victory Recount Fund … to protect the integrity of the ballots cast and deliver a win.”

His opponent, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, will have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to call for a recount if she chooses to do so. Because Kloppenburg trails by less than 0.5 percent, the recount would be conducted at the taxpayers’ expense rather than her own.
