Lord God almighty, would it be a wonderful blessing for Prosser to win and Walker to be vindicated by it. Please, Father God.
-
Stooge. What an appropriate term. Prosser is (was) well thought of in the state until the collective fleecing rights dust-up. It is so like the
lemmings left to knee-jerk with a nobody just because they aren't getting what they want.
-
...But you know they will cheat.
How it's done in MN when it's close is that the Dem election officials report the heavy Dem precincts last, so that they can determine how many extra votes they need to overcome the GOP lead.
-
He's got a 12,000 vote lead (51-49%) with 29% reporting in....
-
sh*t, now it's 50-50% with 32% in...
-
If he can maintain that then it's all over. Don't know what precincts are in and which ones are left. If the corrupt ones are left then it could vanish in a second.
-
Race tightening but he has led all the way. It was 50% early with 6% in. I think they will cheat. It's all they have.
-
2000 vote lead with over half left to count is not enough. That's Union election theft territory.
-
I am mildly pleased and somewhat surprised that the results are coming in as quickly as they are. That gives me some small measure of comfort that the results so far are fair. When the results slow down, that will be the sign that things are getting ready to get dark and evil.

I don't remember...does WI have a Democrat SoS? That's a Soros project to steal elections.

19,000 votes is a lot. As always, it's gonna come down to turnout.
We like to think that with all the overreach and blatant contempt of the Left for the people, that the American people are catching on, and changing their affiliation. That is such a fleeting thing, and it comes down to who shows up. Period.

He is. Doug LaFollette, (D-Wi)
-
Dang, he's got an almost 30,000 vote lead now with 46% in. Obviously the other 54% of total precincts could erase that, but it would have to go almost opposite plus more.
-
So he is the go-to guy if it's close...like within 2000 votes.
-
So the spin will be thus:
If he loses (even by 1 vote) then it will be billed as a HUGE defeat for the Tea Party.
If he wins (even if by tens of thousands) then the Tea Party will not be mentioned.

We learned several cycles ago that the favorite dhimmicrat tactic is for their heaviest hitter precincts to hang back until the appropriate moment. Then they deliver the bacon in whatever quantities necessary plus a slight (but safe) margin.
Once upon a time we were naive and just said, "Oh well, better luck next time". When it became apparent to all but the comatose, we still said, "By golly, We'll just have to try harder".
Now I just shrug and recognize that it as part of my master plan.

Tightening, as predicted. And, seriously, what are they waiting for? Just pull out the extra ballots and get it over with.
-
The only explanation for the slow return is hand counting of paper ballots. Which means fraud.
I am even a little surprised that they go to the trouble of hiding it. Everyone knows they do it. Everyone expects them to do it. Why bother hiding it? It's not like anyone will ever be prosecuted for vote fraud.
The takeaway from this regardless of how it turns out: This should have been a walk for the Dems. They had the momentum coming off of the protests. I'm sure they spent dump trucks of money...certainly they outspent the Republican..don't know, only guessing. They have the vote fraud infrastructure in place.
And yet, here we are with the Republican up by close to 2000 with 98% in. I find it hard to believe that they actually wanted it to be this close this late in the game. Perhaps they underestimated the number of fraudulent ballots that they would need. Don't know. But it is interesting that it is as close as it is.
And please, don't anyone go saying that being this close is a victory. If Prosser doesn't pull it off (and I don't care if he loses by one vote) it is a DEFEAT. Trying to paint a loss as a victory of any kind is LOSER talk. You take your defeat and you move on. Do better next time.

Marathon county is all counted up now. That's the last GOP stronghold that had any number of outstanding precincts.
Now it's a one-off missing precinct here and there, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, and one missing precinct in Dane.
There's room for fraud with only a 2000 vote cushion, whether they appear with the necessary votes before morning, or "find" them in litigation, fraud is a real probability.
Have you heard anything else about the 10,000 vote overcount for the Leftist in Dane county Pan? I've only seen that claim at the link you provided. I wonder if there's any substance to it.

It would certainly fit the pattern.
Union state. Hard-Left SoS. You'd think they'd get embarrassed at their 100% victory rate in the come-from-behind recounts where "lost" votes suddenly and miraculously appear on their behalf... but then again, you have to have shame to be embarrassed at everyone knowing you're cheating.

Allahpundit sez: "Brace yourselves for a recount and endless court battles. Belated exit question: What happens if the state supreme court has to decide the election — and deadlocks at 3-3 after Prosser recuses himself?"

I am going to bed in another ten or twenty minutes. I know in my head that this is a lost cause. And that's the realist in me, not the defeatist. If the Dems don't pull this one out they will a laughingstock in lib circles everywhere.
And even if by some miracle Prosser pulls it off it WILL go to a recount and that dooms him without question. So, yeah, I see this as over.

I don't really GAS what happens in these moronic blue states as long as their inevitable demands for a Federal bailout can be thwarted. That's the big question mark. As long as a Federal bailout to CA, IL, NY, WI can be thwarted I will actually enjoy this bountiful cornucopia of schadenfreude.
On a more serious note, if Dumbocrat electoral theft has become so obvious and commonplace that everyone can sit here observing precinct reports and predict what is happening, then the bigger question is: what are we going to do about it? It's the epitome of a rigged game, since the official avenues of redress are the very same things corrupted by electoral theft in the first place.

I wonder just how many extra ballots were cast in those DeononRat dominated areas than there were registered voters? I bet at least 1% on each at the min.
-
Precincts still unreported as of 7:15 AM CDT, from Dem counties, with a 585 vote differential.
You just know the Dems are working with their union people trying to assess all the mechanisms they have in place, making sure ducks are in a row, that asses are covered. Either that, or they're realizing that they screwed something up and they're scrambling to fix it or cover it up before those last votes are reported.
-
Again, it doesn't matter because there will be a recount and we have seen their handiwork literally in our faces now for over ten years.

Nope, I never did.
I don't know enough about Wisconsin election trends except to say that the previous election was a remarkable referendum. The voting public rejected - in the strongest of terms - the "politics as usual" in favor of true reformers. Then the dhimmi machine churned into action once the reformers started....reforming.
Now we witness this classic display of extremist leftwing (but I repeat myself) manipulation. This isn't citizen activism in action, it is a powerplay, pure & simple. They feeeeeeeel that their putative "victory" ensures a return of lefty politics as usual, but what it truly signals is the Michiganing of Wisconsin - but on steroids.
What was allowed and encouraged under dhimmicrat rule is simply unsustainable. They have driven us to bankruptcy and ruin. The pubbie reformers tried to enact common-sense reforms that would draw us back from the brink.
This lefty win ensures defeat and ruination for us all.
My plan is coming together nicely.

Now it's down to a 419 vote lead.
-
Now the Leftist's ahead by 140 votes. They got their ducks in a row and are making their move.
It's disgusting to watch.

The Franken Effect.
We call it fraud.
It always precedes the ultimate demise of democracy and results in the tyranny of the self-anointed aristocracy!

Now the Leftist leads by 369 votes.
-
Yup.
And I suppose legal challenges would be pointless, as the rules :P would be established by fellow aristocrats.
Oh Death, where is thy sting?!
-
Now the Leftist leads by 369 votes.
It's over. I wonder what a state's future can look like, with the mentality of California, and the climate of Wisconsin?
Yet another people just committed suicide.
-
Now it's 311 votes down, with 2 outstanding Dem precincts, and 2 outstanding GOP precincts.
-
Only three choices right?
1. Join the cheating.
2. Give up. (See Choice 3).
3. Revolution.
So maybe really only 2 choices!
-
Now sitting at a 224 vote deficit with two Dem precincts and one GOP precinct yet to report. What besides irregularities would be preventing these three precincts from reporting?
-
I want all the Hispanderers to take note, because this is a microcosm of the country's electoral future with current demographic trends. This is what mathematical impossibility looks like. Soon they will be a permanent majority in DC. Why else do you think they're flipping off the electorate with Obamacare and the like? They know the score.
-
235 vote deficit with only one precinct in conservative Jefferson county yet to report.

Someone over at hotair said it best: it's within the margin of fraud. Not good.

JoAnne Kloppenburg's tiny lead over incumbent justice David Prosser for a seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court is now at 224 votes as one precinct is left to count (http://www.rivertowns.net/event/article/id/34697/group/State%20News/publisher_ID/18/), the Town of Lake Mills in Jefferson County.
According to the Lake Mills Leader newspaper, a problem with its tally sheets kept the township from reporting any results to Jefferson County last night. Election officials in the township were supposed to begin counting 24 remaining uncounted votes and review their tally sheets again at 8:30 a.m. this morning but because there was a lack of a quorum on the Board of Canvassers, the vote count did not begin until 11:45 a.m.
Prosser carried Jefferson County by a 58-42 percent margin. The township reportedly has some 700-760 votes to add to the county total.
-
The margin widened briefly to about 330 votes, and now is back down to 206, with the town of Lake Mills still yet to report.

So that's how it happens. One precinct from one conservative-leaning county has a "problem with its tally sheets" that not only cause it to fail to report results last night, but fail to do so throughout the next day into the late afternoon. By the time that late afternoon rolls around, all other precincts are in, and the race stands at a 206 vote deficit for the Republican. Then this one remaining precinct in a town called called "Lake Mills" in this conservative leaning Jefferson county somehow provides enough Leftist votes to pad the Leftists lead by another 563, leaving the total at a 769 vote deficit?
This is a town of 5,557. Let's assume they are all adults of voting age - completely childless. Following the projected turnout model for yesterdays election of 20%, that means about 1111 people from lake Mills voted yesterday. In order to produce an additional 563 vote deficit, that means that among those 1111 people, there were 837 for Kloppenheimer and 274 for Prosser. Or, a 75% - 25% split - more heavily Democrat than even Dane County.
But of course we know that Lake Mills Wisconsin is NOT populated with 100% voting age adults. At the 2000 census, 27% were under age 18. So unless they've all grown up and no one new has had children, we could assume at least a 20% population of people under the age of 18. That would bring the eligible voters down somewhere around 889 people total, split 769 to 163, or, 87% to 13%.

That would be coming out of a conservative-leaning county??
What are the rules covering recounts there?

I believe that less than .5% triggers an automatic recount. Which will of course be overseen by a Democrat Secretary of State.
-
Right. He's a Dem. So, now what? Are the Republicans there planning any action?
-
Sorry, folks, but as I predicted...they found a way. They always do, you know.
And I really liked the unbiased first paragraph by the AP on this election:
MADISON— Wisconsin voters sent Republican Gov. Scott Walker a clear message about their unhappiness with his muscling through a law restricting union rights by sending a once runaway state Supreme Court race toward a near-certain recount and filling the governor’s former post with a Democrat.
Only in the fantasy world of AP "reporting" does a 200 vote margin in a nearly 1.5 million vote election equal a clear signal of anything. This is obviously an opinion piece that has been submitted as a "story." Pure post election cheerleading by the AP.

I thought I heard on the radio that they do not have automatic recounts, that candidates have to request them. But an appeal either way is likely. Given their law and the politics involved, I do not see a recusal in the offing so the end is already writ en I think.
