Prosser gains 7,500 votes in Waukesha County after inputting error
Wisconsin State Journal
WAUKESHA — Incumbent Justice David Prosser gained a 7,500-vote lead in the hotly contested state Supreme Court race Thursday after the clerk in conservative-leaning Waukesha County announced she had undercounted votes due to an inputting error.
If the new results stand, they would swing the election to Prosser after unofficial results Wednesday showed challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg was the winner with a 204-vote lead out of nearly 1.5 million votes cast.
The new totals showed Prosser with 92,263 votes in Waukesha County, while Kloppenburg had 32,758.
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said the votes weren’t reported to The Associated Press on Tuesday due to “human error.”
“This is not a case of extra votes or extra ballots being found,” she said. “This is human error, which I apologize for.”
