Justice Prosser Will Lose in the Wisconsin Recount

My Prediction: Justice Prosser Will Lose in the Wisconsin Recount

I hope I am wrong.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach that the Democrats, liberals, and unionists in Wisconsin are going to make sure that liberalista Kloppenburg gets a suitcase or two of “newly-found” votes. Wisconsin Tea Party are you on duty? Battle stations!

There is a very liberal environomentalist who is Secretary of State, and buried in the story below is the fact that the Republican county clerk who found all the GOP ballots so that Judge Prosser won, has been REMOVED from the recount.

Why so gloomy? Think: Sen. Al Franken ….and California. This is verryyy familiar.

Now the counting and re-counting begins in Wisconsin and here’s what’s happened already:

“Supreme Court recount gets wobbly start in Waukesha County”

“ After more than a half-hour of meticulous instructions and ground rules from Waukesha County’s chief canvasser, retired Judge Robert G. Mawdsley, questions were raised about the very first bag of ballots to be counted, from the Town of Brookfield.

As canvassers and tabulators compared a numbered seal on a bag with the number recorded for that bag by a town election inspector who prepared the paperwork on election night, the numbers didn’t match.

“What a great way to start,” one tabulator said.

Observers from the campaigns of Justice David Prosser and Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg both agreed, however, that the error seemed to be in the inspector’s use of a “2″ instead of a “3.” Numbers on the sealing tag and on the bag did match. Both sides and the Board of Canvassers agreed that the bag should be opened and the votes counted.

Statewide, election officials recounted 36,794 ballots on Wednesday. By the end of the day, Prosser was leading, 19,489 to 17,420 for Kloppenburg, with 65 votes cast for write-ins. That left 1.46 million more ballots to count.

Kloppenburg requested the recount after a canvass showed her losing the Supreme Court race to Prosser by 7,316 votes, a margin of less than 0.5% of the 1.5 million ballots cast. The initial count on election night ended with Kloppenburg up by 204 votes, but that was before Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus announced she had accidentally left the entire City of Brookfield out of her original vote total.”
