Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Recount Update

From the Associated Press:

Justice David Prosser held a 7,316-vote lead over challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg before a statewide recount began April 27. The state Government Accountability Board is providing daily updates on the recount’s progress by precinct. Here’s a look at where the recount stood as of Friday afternoon: _Precincts recounted and given a preliminary review by board staff: 3,455 of 3,602 _Prosser’s current total: 689,642 _Kloppenburg’s current total: 721,391

The good news: that represents 94% of the total vote.

The bad news: Waukesha County – home of the magically appearing Prosser lead – is still counting. Apparently, the gross incompetence of County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus left the county system in shambles and a judge extended their recount deadline by nearly three weeks.

Still, you do the math. Prosser was originally up by 7,316 and now he’s down by 31,749. Keeping my fingers crossed.
