Justices for justice?? BNN

Still too close to call (2.00 / 2)

but looks like a recount will happen:  

This morning:

http://www.jsonline.com/news/s...

Justice David Prosser clung to a narrow lead over Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg in the state Supreme Court race early Wednesday, after a hard-fought campaign dominated by political forces and outside interest groups.

But even with 99% of the vote counted, fewer than 600 votes - about 0.04% of ballots - separated the candidates. And The Associated Press said early Wednesday that the race was too close to call and that it would take hours or most of the day to get a final tally.

That close margin had political insiders from both sides talking about the possibility of a recount, which Wisconsin has avoided in statewide races in recent decades. Any recount could be followed by lawsuits - litigation that potentially would be decided by the high court.

and of course lots of stuff from last night over to teh GOS

Update: Kloppenburg up by 300 votes after final precincts report (2.00 / 2)

in Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice race.  Still some absentee ballots from soldiers, etc. yet to be counted, but as of this moment, she is the winner pursuant to the recount!
