But, in the mean time, Ms JoAnne Kloppenburg has asked for a recount. Ms Kloppenburg is the Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General who ran for a seat on the State Supreme Court, perhaps with the hope of voting to overthrow the recent actions of the Wisconsin Legislature. She was ahead by about 200 votes when about 7,000 uncounted votes were found. She is, of course, crying foul.
Kloppenburg also called on the board to appoint a special investigator to probe the "actions and words" of Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus.Her opponent in the race was Justice David Prosser, who is seen as being favorable to the actions of the Legislature.
Politics is the greatest sport; the tension, the drama, the instant recounts. Well, not quite "instant" but recounts.
More to come on this front.

That recounts are called for in elections only proves that in politics there are plenty of scoundrels.......some who win...and many who lose.
Speaking of scoundrels, I note with some passing interest that now that MA very own Fat Teddy has gone onto some ethereal plane, they are moving ahead quickly to build the wind farm just off shore from Fat Ted's estate. I guess one can keep his finger in the dike for only so long...
