KOCH BROTHERS LOSE
Wisconsin Democrats Pre-Celebrate Kloppenburg WinPosted Wednesday, April 06, 2011 1:13 PM | By David Weigel
In a conference call organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Wisconsin Democratic Senators Mark Miller and Chris Larson were nearly ready to congratulate JoAnne Kloppenburg on winning a seat on the state Supreme Court.
"This is a very significant victory," said Miller, "regardless of the outcome."
As they spoke, Kloppenburg led the vote count with a few precincts still left to tally. That freed up Larson and Miller to speculate about what would happen if she won.

Let's get our messaging straight: KLOPPENBURG WINS!!!bywilbur
..............
This is a total Wisonsin smackdown of Scott Walker
Prosser should really understand it is time to leave the stage.
Prosser sticking around is just hurting Wisconsin.
There is serious businesss to conduct and Prosser is just gumming up the works by trying to challenge this.

Great news - those "missing" two precincts in West Allis (suburban Milwaukee County) were either empty or already counted. So MKE is done and Kloppenburg's vote lead remains unchanged at 224. Now we just wait for Lake Mills (JeffCo) to count. And then, of course, on to the absentees. http://www.swingstateproject.com/diary/8655/april-5-election-results-thread-71:52pm:
Amazing fact from the National Journal:If Kloppenburg's narrow margin holds up through the potential recount, it will be just the fifth time a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice has been unseated since the court's establishment in 1852.http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2011/04/wisconsin-resul.php.................
Updated AP numbers (11+ / 0-)
Total 3629/3630
Prosser 739,043 50%
Kloppenburgh 739,379 50% -- the Winner
"Proud to proclaim: I am a Bleeding Heart Liberal"
.......................
No automatic recounts in WI (4+ / 0-)
The loser has 3 days to ask for a recount. If the margin is less than .5%, the state has to pay for the recount. So in order to get the recount, he'll first have to acknowledge he lost.
