Sadly, no....

As of lunchtime today, 69 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties had verified their vote totals and Prosser’s still on track for a 7,300-vote lead.
Dude, it’s time.
The campaign of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser is now saying that challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg should consider the heavy odds in a recount — and that the margin shifts that occur in them are quite small.
As WisPolitics reports, Prosser’s campaign released a statement pointing out that that the largest ever vote swing in a Wisconsin statewide recount has only been 489 votes. Prosser’s current lead is over 7,000 votes. “History does not provide a rosy picture of recounts of a half a percent or less,” said Prosser campaign spokesman Brian J. Nemoir. “While there may be a legal right to a recount, after a review of past‐results and consideration for the heavy burden upon the state, it is in the best interests of the state to have the common sense decision be made to avoid the unnecessary drama of a recount.”
That would be in the best interests of the state, but it wouldn’t be in the best interests of Democrats. The best interests of Democrats require senior citizens to humiliate themselves by pleading age and confusion after the fact in a desperate attempt to delegitimize the results of an election that the unions lost against all odds. So yes, of course there’s going to be a recount. And if they’re lucky, there’ll be some minor procedural quirk in some Wisconsin county somewhere that they can point to as further “evidence” that the vote was rigged. Let’s get on with it.
Via Gateway Pundit, here’s Kloppenburg the day after the election, before the Waukesha error was known, declaring victory for the second time already with a lead of just 200 or so votes. That was enough of a cushion to be confident in the result, apparently, but Prosser’s 7,000-vote lead? Well, that’s different.
Right now the RATS are working on making up hidden ballots. It takes a while to fake this stuff, but they will.
Not that I am a regular follower anyway but days
ago I gave up channel surfing trying to get the
411 on that election. I assume that those uncovered
votes did the trick for Prosser or otherwise the MSM
would be all over it like Chuckie Schumer on a micro-
phone.
The dhimmicrats are still trying to find a lawyer to take a challenge case....pro bono ;-)
How do all these north east coast liberals always manage to find positions in government outside of their states? Liberalism is like Amerika’s black plague of the dark ages and it is spreading. Stand Up America, while you still can.
This was a sweet victory. Congrats Wisconsin.
Best comment: Hey Kloppenburg, go haunt a house somewhere.
LOL!
Sadly, no....
That doesn't sound good.
Ulcer?? Cancer would be more appropriate.
It seems like you debated your own point.
It does matter...
I beg to differ; it is a very big deal. To go back and attempt to repass this legislation would be a disaster. First, it would give legitimacy to the RAT judge’s illegal injunction. Key here is a direct assault on the separation of powers. Why would you not think that that would be a big deal? Secondly, there is no guarantee that the legislature could or would produce the same legislation as is in law today. And third, don’t you think that maybe the megagaggle of union goons would be back trashing the statehouse and generally disrupting the legislative process? So to my mind retaining Prosser is a very big deal in more ways than I have enumerated.
Believe me, here in Wisconsin the Dems were cackling loudly that they thought Kloppingfraud was a shoo-in. Undoubtedly, it hasn’t hit her yet that she lost. She assumed her flunkies had arranged the right amount of votes needed, and she still can’t believe it.
Little known outside of Wisconsin is this race was about more than the budget repair bill. The liberals have been trying to remove Justice Michael Gableman long before the budget became an issue. They've been unsuccessful so far, but if Kleppenburg had won, they'd have the majority they need to have him removed. I'm not sure whether there would be another election to replace him or if the Governor appoints. I'll have to check on that.
This would have been a nasty election even without the brouhaha over the budget. The libs in Wisconsin lost the Governorship, the Senate and the Assembly - they will fight tooth and nail to try and take over the court.
Who cares? My only concern: Can Prooser rule on the law while this is in limbo? Or is the seat considered vacant/required to recuse?
