Government Accountability Board confirms JoAnne Kloppenburg has filed for a statewide recount.
Edited on Wed Apr-20-11 03:54 PM by Freddie Stubbs
MADISON (WKOW) -- JoAnne Kloppenburg for Supreme Court Justice campaign filed papers this afternoon at the Government Accountability Board's office for a statewide recount.

The campaign plans to hold a news conference at 4:00 Wednesday afternoon.

Kloppenburg campaign staffers have put up campaign signs as the backdrop at the news conference.

The race for Supreme Court has been a contentious one. The first unofficial results from the race showed Kloppenburg winning by about 200 votes. Just days after the election, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus announced that votes from the entire City of Brookfield were left off the initial results. The new results netted incumbent Justice David Prosser more than 7,500 votes, giving him the lead in the election.

3. I was wrong, too.
But I want to see a REAL recount. Let's not just run the ballots back through the machines. Count the paper ballots by hand, dammit! If this costs money, I will give. I would guess that every Democrat who can afford it will give.

5. ditto
I figured someone "would get to her" like Gore and Kerry to tell her to go quietly. Apparently, if they did, she didn't listen. If she needs cash for a recount, I'm in too.

2. Wisconsin needs this just to give confidence in the process
And it keeps Prosser from being certified as winner, maybe forever.

4. Who knows his head might explode during the process
he was fighting against it pretty hard, probably because he knows they will probably find something.
