David Prosser now ahead by a significant margin

If the current vote count holds, the Sage of Culver City will have egg on his face again. Not all votes were counted Waukesha County on Tuesday. Today the country released new numbers that gave Wisconsin Supreme Justice David Prosser now has a 7500 vote lead over his Leftist challenger.

A significant change Thursday in the vote count in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election raised the incumbent into the lead, in a race that some see as a referendum on the state’s Republican governor.

Conservative Justice David Prosser had faced a surprisingly strong challenge from JoAnne Kloppenburg, a little-known assistant state attorney general who drew last-minute support from opponents of Gov. Scott Walker’s push to limit union power as part of a budget-balancing plan.

Prosser, 68, was down by a mere 204 votes in the initial statewide vote count from Tuesday’s election, and a recount was expected. But on Thursday, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said not all of her county’s votes had been reported on Tuesday due to “human error.” The revised numbers gave Prosser a boost of more than 7,000 votes.

Prosser’s new 7,500 vote-lead, though unofficial, would be enough to keep him in his office if other vote totals hold up at the end of canvassing in all of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.

This is a huge defeat for the Left!
